Another successful practitioner of the pixilation and live-action mix is Jan
Svankmajer. It is blended so well that the viewer easily falls into the magical
space that is created with these practical and photographic effects. In the
1994 film
Faust
, Svankmajer cuts back and forth between the live action,
pixilation, and clay models of Mephisto.
Jan Kounen did the same thing in
Gisele Kerozene
and claims,
“I'm no more thinking of stop motion as a genre, but only as a technique;
even in
Gisele Kerozene
, there is 20% of real stop motion the rest is
shooting continuously at 2 frames a second, or 6 frames.”
