Pixilation

[citation needed] Early examples of this technique are included in Segundo de Chomón's Cuisine magnétique[1] and Hôtel électrique, both from 1908, and Émile Cohl's 1911 movie Jobard ne peut pas voir les femmes travailler (Jobard cannot see the women working).

"[2] Quebec band Les Colocs and Michel Gondry used pixilation in many of their music videos.

Of note, "Leave Me Alone" by Michael Jackson utilises a variation on this technique by slowing down the frame rate of video and overlaying objects to achieve the distinctive pixilation look to great effect.

Jan Kounen's Gisele Kerozene (1989), a short film that shows witches riding around a city on broomsticks, is another influential example of this technique.

An effect similar to pixilation can be achieved by dropping occasional frames from a conventionally recorded movie.
