pixilation

Mildly drunk state

Pixilation is an animation technique using live actors as stop-motion subjects—photographing them frame by frame in different poses to create jerky, unnatural movement.

The effect makes people appear to glide, teleport, or move in impossible ways.

Not to be confused with pixelation, the blocky distortion when digital images are enlarged.
