What is 'pixelation' as a stop motion technique?

Accepted Answer

Using real human beings as stop motion subjects by photographing them in posed positions

Why do stop motion animators use a tripod during filming?

Accepted Answer

To keep the camera perfectly still and prevent shaky footage between shots

A tripod locks the camera in a fixed position so the background remains steady between shots, preventing unwanted camera movement.
