Today, I got a new word about animation,

pixelation (ˌpɪksɪˈleɪʃən)
— n
	a video technique in which an image is blurred by being overlaid with a grid of squares, usually to disguise the identity of a person pixelation Part of Speech: n Definition: the process of digitizing a printed image; also, the display of such an image as a pattern of pixels which are obvious to the eye; also written pixellation  Dictionary.com's 21st Century Lexicon pixelation The adjective pixilated is unrelated. 1) Pixelation is a term sometimes used to describe the act of turning a printed image into a digitized image file (such as the GIF file that is used to display an image on a Web page). As the image is captured, it is processed into a vectorized or rasterized file that can be used to illuminate color units called pixel s on a display surface. 2) Pixelation is the display of a digitized image where the individual pixels are apparent to a viewer. This can happen unintentionally when a low-resolution image designed for an ordinary computer display is projected on a large screen and each pixel becomes separately viewable.
