Timelapse is a certain form of animation achieved by taking pictures of anything at certain intervals, it can range from a picture a second to a picture every year.
This certain time lapse was done by taking a picture of the Gentleman's face every day for a year so it can capture how his beard grows in a year, he called the time lapse the 'year of the beard'.
Another popular form of time lapse is something known as 'Speed Drawing' . This normally consists of people taking pictures at very quick drawing an object, a drawing that might take a couple of hours will be sped up and the final piece is ready within a few minutes.

Reflection during lesson How am I doing so far: I feel confident with this topic. Reflection at end of lesson: I learned all about this topic as i have never heard of it before. This is probably the best animation lesson so far. What have I achieved? We (Jack & Me) have actually created our own Pixilation animation.
This is a picture of half a head and we cut two lines to the edge of the mouth and cut across so we can make it look like it was talking. We also cut out a random woman and cut off her legs so we can make it look like it was walking.
Terry Gilliam was a animator who used a style called cut out animation, He used pictures that he found in newspapers and used them in his animation. He animated some episodes of Monty Python.
Cut out animation is made by using pictures of any object or person and make it look like it is moving seamlessly, It is easy to do also. You could take pictures out of a newspapers and taking pictures every time you move it slightly.
Model Based Animation
Model Based animation is done by creating a model of anything you want out of clay. Then you need to make it move like a real thing. This is done by taking pictures of the model after you move it a tiny bit. Model based animation is possibly the most tedious animation there is as if you move the model too much then it will look like it jumps.
Morph is one of the most beloved characters in animation. and is an example of Model Based Animation
Wallace and Gromit is also another well loved series that is Model Based Animation
Family Guy
Is a animated cartoon that is aimed at Adults. Family Guy aired as a pilot in 1998 and has been cancelled 3 times because the Creators kept on pushing the boundaries with the jokes they included so Fox cancelled but because the public enjoyed the show so much they forced Fox's hand into renewing the show, the show has made references to the cancellation and has even made jokes about Fox.
