Question: ParaNorman was produced using what animation technique?
Context: Neighbours (French title: Voisins) is a 1952 anti-war film by Scottish-Canadian filmmaker Norman McLaren.  Produced at the National Film Board of Canada in Montreal, the film uses the technique known as pixilation, an animation technique using live actors as stop-motion objects.  McLaren created the soundtrack of the film by scratching the edge of the film, creating various blobs, lines, and triangles which the projector read as sound.  Pablo Picasso called this the greatest film ever made. Drawn-on-film animation, also known as direct animation or animation without camera, is an animation technique where footage is produced by creating the images directly on film stock, as opposed to any other form of animation where the images or objects are photographed frame by frame with an animation camera. ParaNorman is a 2012 American 3D stop-motion animated comedy horror film produced by Laika, distributed by Focus Features and was released on August 17, 2012.  It stars the voices of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Tucker Albrizzi, Anna Kendrick, Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, Elaine Stritch, Bernard Hill, Jodelle Ferland, Tempestt Bledsoe, Alex Borstein and John Goodman.  It is the first stop-motion film to use a 3D color printer to create character faces and only the second to be shot in 3D.  The film mainly received positive reviews and was a modest box office success, earning $107 million against its budget of $60 million.  The film received nominations for the 2012 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. Traditional animation (or classical animation, cel animation or hand-drawn animation) is an animation technique where each frame is drawn by hand.  The technique was the dominant form of animation in cinema until the advent of computer animation. Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc. (founded as Videocraft International, Ltd.) was an American production company, known for its seasonal television specials, particularly its work in stop motion animation.  The pre-1974 library is owned by Universal Studios (via DreamWorks Animation/DreamWorks Classics), while the post-1973 library is owned by Warner Bros. Rankin/Bass stop-motion features are recognisable by their visual style of doll-like characters with spheroid body parts, and ubiquitous powdery snow using an animation technique called "Animagic".  Often, traditional cel animation scenes of falling snow would be projected over the action to create the effect of a snowfall. Kinetic typography—the technical name for "moving text"—is an animation technique mixing motion and text to express ideas using video animation.  This text is presented over time in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion. Parametric animation is an animation technique used in computer software, such as in computer games, that blends two or more separate animations together to form a new animation.  This new animation is constructed in real-time by the game engine, and is not stored in a separate file like a regular animation.  The technique was first used in an early version of the game Team Fortress 2, and it not only heavily reduces artist workload during game development, it provides for much smoother animation as well. Pose space deformation is a computer animation technique which is used to deform a mesh on skeleton-driven animation.  Common use of this technique is to deform the shape of a mesh (for example, an arm) according to the angle of the joint (in this case, the elbow) bent.  Although the name is commonly called Pose space deformation on many scholarly articles, 3D animation software rarely uses that name.  On Autodesk Maya, it's implemented under the name Pose Deformer, and on Blender, it's implemented as Shape Keys.  The first famous application of this technique was the cloth's movement on the first episode of the animated film The Animatrix. Stop motion (hyphenated stop-motion when used as an adjective) is an animation technique that physically manipulates an object so that it appears to move on its own.  The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a fast sequence.  Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning.  Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay-mation".  Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect.  Stop motion can also use sequential drawing in a similar manner to traditional animation, such as a flip book.  Stop motion using humans is sometimes referred to as pixilation or pixilate animation. Pinscreen animation makes use of a screen filled with movable pins, which can be moved in or out by pressing an object onto the screen.  The screen is lit from the side so that the pins cast shadows.  The technique has been used to create animated films with a range of textural effects difficult to achieve with any other animation technique, including traditional cel animation.
