is shot with a static camera mounted directly above a bed. A woman, a
man, and objects are shot frame by frame in a controlled environment in
a very stylized manner, depicting walking, movement in a subway, and
swimming underwater all on top of the bed. The static background sets
off the animated motion of the people, cloth, and various objects in a very
satisfying manner.

Two other extensions of pixilation are seen in the work of Blu and PES.
Each artist uses pixilation but in very different ways. Blu works outdoors,
painting walls and animating figures and objects on cityscapes. His camera
work is unregistered and quite active but the dominant drawn figures in
the frame maintain the focus of each shot as in his 2008 film Muto and his
2010 film Big Bang Big Boom . PES works with objects in a very controlled
manner, creating events and environments out of everyday objects, as
in his 2008 film Western Spaghetti . In this animated short, the simple use
of candy corn vibrating frame by frame on a stove top, mimicking gas-
fueled flames, sets the style that unfolds in this cooking experience. PES
animated stuffed chairs having sex on a roof in New York City in his 2001
film Roof Sex .
