Paka Paka (also known as Transmitted Light Photography) is a banned animation technique. It involves creating bright flashes of colour rapidly.

Details
The effects of Paka Paka is created when the animation cell is illuminated from behind during production photography. This creates a much brighter flash or light effect.

Controversy
In 1997, 700 children in Japan were admitted to hospital with epilepsy symptoms after watching the Dennō Senshi Porygon episode of anime programme, Pokémon. This had been caused by a scene which used Paka Paka to create a strobe effect of red and blue which included blinks at a rate of 12Hz for four seconds with two of them in fullscreen.
