Talk:Milo Counting

Title
This is an incredibly awkward title, and I'm not sure it's at all accurate. The use of "stop-motion" and the categorization of this as an "Animated Segment" are both misleading. The technique is a *kind* of stop-motion, but the term normally suggests the use of clay, plasticine, or other figures, not live actors. In this case, the more accurtate term would be the phrase coined by Norman McLaren, "pixillation," since it's essentially used as an effects or editing technique; it's a kind of animation, but I don't think this should be categorized as an "animated segment" anymore than we would a Creature Shop film which had CG cloud effects matted into the background. "Pixillated Number-Holding Man" isn't much better as a title, though; something simple, like just Number-Holding Man," would be an improvement. I'll try to do some more research, but I believe these segments were produced by Chatsby Films, who also did the Jane Tuesday bits, going by some old images on their website which now seem to be gone. If that can be confirmed (I'll try to look into that when I get settled in next week or so), I'd like to suggest that these bits would be better off in an article on the studio. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 12:07, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
