GIF- GIF stands for Graphics interchange format.The format of the GIF file supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing the single image to reference it's own palette of up to 256 different types of colours that were chosen form the 24-bit RGB colour space. This type f GIF is good for animations which will allow to seperate palette of upto 256 colours for each frame. The palette limitations make the GIF file format less suitable for reproducing colour photographs and other images with continuous colouring, it is also well suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of colour. The GIF file format can lose detail either on the internet or while printing an image off.
PSD- PSD stands for photoshop document.

Model based
Model based is where you use clay and plastecine for creating models and you make the models move by taking pictures of them and making the models change position and then you add the pictures to the film and play through the video clip and it would look like a model based film clip, when the models are moving in a fast speed in the video clip. For example Wallace and Gromit are made from clay models. The cast who made Wallace and Gromit took 30 frames per day. Which is one second film of photographed. The film curse of the were rabbit took 15 months to make. The artist who does model based filming and techniques is Nick Park who is also the director and also the voice of Wallace in Wallace and Gromit. I enjoy doing model based in class, but I find it hard that you have to imaginative about creating your characters and you need to take the filming slow as you take several shots to do a model based film, so really it would take a long time to make a model based film as it does take up to a hundred shots. The type of techniques that are used in the model based animation are that they make sculptures of objects or the character and they even do drawings of the character. The models are made from plasticine, so they will be creating the modles with plasticine tools.
Cut out
Cut out animation is where images are cut of magazines and newspapers and you join the images together to either make a person or an object. For example the 1st series of south park was a cut out animation and they made the characters out of card and paper. This was a cheaper way for the company to spend less money and a easier way to make cut out films. I would select cut out for sequence because I find the animation easy to use and it is easy to make a cut out animation film and wouldn't be to hard to find cut out images for film I could create. The people who created south park are Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Brian Graden. The other people who use cut outs is well in the video clips is 'Monty Python'. The techniques that are used in the cut out animation are that they use pictures from magazines and newspapers or even use card paper for the cut out animation. Even using pictures to layout the background with cut outs.
Pixilation
Pixilation is where you use real people but the people are to make look like real artificial animation.It's also a stop motion technique where live actors are used as a frame by frame subject in an animated film, by repeatedly posing while one or more frame is taken and changing poses slightly before the frames by frames. Pixilation is caused by bitmaps at such a large size that the individual pixels make the small single-coloured square display elements that comprise the bitmap and are visible, which will make the image pixelated. Pixilation will be new challenge to me, but it will also involve a lot of technical equipment. For example a green screen, cameras and it would involve a lot of CGI. The type of techniques that are used in pixilation are filming with video cameras and having a green screen in the background to add a background using CGI. In the picture below it shows a human being moving, while the game Mario is in the background.
Cell based
Cell based is another word for cartoons, where you do drawings of cartoon pictures and to make these images of cartoons into a short film or a long film. For example Spongebob square pants. These images are drawn into a flip book and drawing the character by changing the position of the character and changing the background. The person who was the creator of spongebob is a man called Stephen Hillenburg. Cell based animation isn't my type of sequence I would use. The reason for this is because you would need to be highly good artist to do drawings and you need to be very good expert to create flip books that make the drawings move and that the images are in decent quality drawing. The video clip beneath is showing how the cast people create the episodes of spongebob by doing a flip book. Another famous person who uses cell based drawings is Walt Disney who is the creator of Disney. the films that he has done are Snow white, Dumbo etc. The techniques that are used in a cell based animation are drawings with drawing pencils and coloured pencils, with colourful and well detailed drawings.
Time lapse
Time lapse is a photography technique where the film frames are captured. The film is played at normal speed, but then the time and the speed speeds up which makes the images move faster. The camera is placed in the same position through out the video clip, but then the editors have speeded up the video to make it into a time lapse video clip where images are changing and the images are speeding up. A time lapse would easy to do for my sequence and more challenging and it would be something new as it involves taking alot of pictures and making the video clip go faster as the objects in the video clip are changing. The person who does time lapse films is Tom Lowe. He has created a film called timescapes where he has taken pictures of land scapes as they are changing through the film. The techniques that are used in the time lapse are photography and filming. These images are live action pics. They speed up the time to make time go faster.
Zoetrope
A zoetrope is one of the several pre-film animation devices that produce the illusion of motion by displaying a sequence of drawings or maybe even photographs showing progressive phases of that motion. This device was one of the historian of chinese technology called a variety of zoetrope. This type of device was invented around the time of 100BC. The name zoetrope came from the Greek words. Zoe means 'life' and trope means 'turning'. The zoetrope consists of a cylinder with slits cut vertically in the sides. On the inner surface of the cylinder is a band with images from a set of sequenced pictures. As the cylinder spins, the user looks through the slits at the pictures across. The scanning of the slits keeps the pictures from simply blurring together, and the user sees a rapid succession of images, producing the illusion of motion.A linear zoetrope consists of an opaque linear screen with thin vertical slits in it. Behind each slit is an image, often illuminated. A motion picture is seen by moving past the display. Linear zoetropes have several differences compared to cylindrical zoetropes due to their different geometries. Linear zoetropes can have arbitrarily long animations and can cause images to appear wider than their actual sizes.
This picture here is an image of a zoetrope.
Thaumatrope
A thaumatrope was a toy that was used in the 19th century. What a thaumatrope is a disk with a picture on each side which is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirling quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to blend into one of the due to the persistence of vision.Examples of common thaumatrope pictures include a bare tree on one side of the disk, and its leaves on the other, or a bird on one side and a cage on the other. They often also included riddles or short poems, with one line on each side. Thaumatropes were one of a number of simple, mechanical optical toys that used persistence of vision. They are recognised as important antecedents of cinematography and in particular of animation.
This here is a picture of what a thaumatrope.
Phenakistoscope
This type of device was planned in 1829 by Joseph plateau. The device was invented in 1832. A contempory edition of Britannica says 'that the phenakistoscope or a magic disc was originally invented by DR Roget and was improved by M. plateau at Brussels and also Dr. Faraday.The phenakistoscope was used with a spinning disc attached vertically to a handle. Arrayed around the disc's centre was a series of drawings showing phases of the animation and they cut through, it was a series of equally spaced radial slits.The phenakistoscope was an early animation device that used the Persistence of vision principle to create an illusion of motion. The Phenakistoscope is regarded as one of the first forms of moving media entertainment that paved the way for the future motion picture and film industry.The phenakistoscope used a spinning disc attached vertically to a handle. Arrayed around the disc's centre was a series of drawings showing phases of the animation, and cut through it was a series of equally spaced radial slits. The user would spin the disc and look through the moving slits at the disc's reflection in a mirror. The scanning of the slits across the reflected images kept them from simply blurring together, so that the user would see a rapid succession of images that appeared to be a single moving picture.
Here is a picture of a phenakistoscope.
Kinetoscope
What a kinetoscope is an early motion picture exhibition device. This device was used for designed films to be viewed by one individual at a time through peep hole viewer window at the top of the device. The kinetoscope was not used as a movie projector but it introduced the basics approached that would become the standard for all cinematic projection before the advent of video, by creating the illusion of movement by conveying a strip of perforated film bearing sequential images over a light source with a high-speed shutter. The kinetoscope was invented my an american man called Thomas Edison. The knietoscope was invented in 1888. It was largely developed by his employee William Kennedy Laurie Dickson between 1889 and 1892. Edison also devised the kinetograph which has a motion picture camera with rapid intermittent, or stop-and-go, film movement, to photograph movies for in-house experiments and, eventually, commercial Kinetoscope presentations.
This is an image of a kinetoscope of what it would of look like in the 19th and 20th century.
Mutoscope
A mutoscope was an early motion picture device,invented by Winsor McCay and then later patented by Herman Casler on November 21, 1894.Thomas Edison's kinetoscope was not project on the screen, it was provided viewing to only one person at a time. The mutoscope worked on the same principle just like a flip book. The individual image frames were conventional black and white and silver based on photgraphic prints on tough, flexible opaque cards.The Mutoscope was an early motion picture device, invented by Winsor McCay and later patented by Herman Casler on November 21, 1894. Like Thomas Edison's Kinetoscope, it did not project on a screen and provided viewing to only one person at a time. Cheaper and simpler than the Kinetoscope, the system, marketed by the American Mutoscope Company, but it was quickly dominated the coin-in-the-slot peep-show business.

stop motion animation
Stop motion animation
In my group I had Kieren Dixon, Ralph Smith and Angus Mackintosh. We had produced a pixilation video, where we have Ralph disappearing behind coat and Kieren appears from the coat. The video clip is about 8 seconds long. I copied and paste the video clip again to make the video longer. I tried to reverse the order but it wouldn't let me, but I do know how to reverse the order.
This is the video that my group produced. This is a pixilation video. We created this video on istopmotion 3. Now I know how to make a pixilation video. I thought making the pixilation video was easy to do as I was taking the pictures of the actor disappearing behind the coat swaping into a different actor. I exported the video and then uploaded it on to youtube so the other people in my group can put that video clip in their bloggers and show it to the rest of the class.
