Pixilation Animation


Pixilation is a stop motion technique.
Live actors are used to take shots frame-by-frame in an animated film.
They repeatedly pose while one or more frame is taken and changing pose slightly before the next frame or frames. The actor becomes a kind of living stop motion puppet. 
This technique is often used as a way to blend live actors with animated ones in a film, such as in The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb by the Bolex Brothers, which used the technique to compelling and eerie effect.
Examples of this technique are El hotel eléctrico from 1908 and Émile Cohl's 1911 film Jobard ne peut pas voir les femmes travailler.
The term is widely credited to Grant Munro. He made an experimental film named "Pixillation", available in his DVD collection "Cut Up - The Films Of Grant Munro".
bad thing about pixilation is that to make a long advert it will take a long time. how ever it is very similar to cut out animation but with real people.
here is an example;

Object Animation


Object Animation is a form of stop motion animation.
Involves the animated movements of any non-drawn objects such as toys, blocks, dolls, etc. which are not fully malleable, such as clay or wax, and not designed to look like a recognizable human or animal character.
Object animation is considered a different form of animation distinct from model animation and puppet animation, as these two forms of stop-motion animation usually use recognizable characters as their subjects, rather than just objects like static toy soldiers, or construction toys such asTinker Toys, LEGO brand bricks (Brickfilm), Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, Playmobil and so on
