[eboyyyd23]

Outstanding and great great models

[Topenigma]

excellent guys...loved it...good work...good results...

[Videofool12]

that was briliant how to you make your models to look so good and prefessional

[gymwill]

Great job, but the audio seems very low.

[Natasha5135]

wow. how big are those figures? they had great detail and if they were small i don't see how you did it!

[StepbyStepTutorials]

have u got a proffesional studio or something??

[StepbyStepTutorials]

How you get it pitch black?

[AndreasFrancis]

one spot light only for lighting (pluss white A4 sheet of paper for reflected fill light). 1/2 m behind them we had black cloth. The whole room we were in also had black walls and ceiling, but I'm not sure if that is essential.

[ParkzProductions]

Were did you get the sound effects from?

By the way brilliant!

[megoogler]

great stuff there. why dont you post a video on claymation for hands and finger movement? it would be great to have very first video on youtube.

[AndreasFrancis]

Thanks, that's a great idea. Have to get a video camera first though, but sometime during 2009 I'll have some tutorials posted :)

[Chezzyeye]

do u use replacement mouths?

[AndreasFrancis]

yep, sure do. A set of 8

[totllbiscuit]

nice ur really good

[AndreasFrancis]

Thanks!

[obscomdis]

do u use armatures?

[AndreasFrancis]

yes. Armature wire

[GH3MAP]

this is awesome, by the way how the hell does ure clay stand up soo.... stiff eg they have hells small necks and their heads are much biggger so im wondering if its the clay, technique or wha???? i make a few clay movies my self there arent good but... i use play do 4 mine lol nice claymation!!!

[AndreasFrancis]

Thanks man. They got a soft metal wire skeleton inside that is easy to bend, but that holds the weight of the plasticine. And in the shots where we dont see their legs, the legs are reaplaced with a more stable chunk of clay. Hope that helps :)

[Jafuet]

wow...mmm...new point of view on claymation

[zx1357]

Woah.

[jasassin]

Hey Andreas, I hadn't seen your other work (outback and lipsync.) they're really nice! What are you doing when you finish at Uni!

Good stuff.

Jason

[AndreasFrancis]

Thanks Jason! There is this place I dream about called Aardman, you might have heard of them?

Cheers, Andreas

PS: Glad I met you on youtube so I got to see your other stuff. Animation is very nice, though I reckon the sound in some of them brings the overall down a little. Unfortunate with the bastards that messed with your light setup for the talking dog. They should be hanged in public!

Then again there is the studio called Laika Entertainment in Portland, Oregon that WAS the stop-motion giant called Will Vinton Studios.

[AndreasFrancis]

hey, thanks, we just p[layed around with it. We used one spot light and a sheet of white paper on the other opposite side as "fill light" to soften the shadows. It made a huge difference, just changing the distance of the paper a little bit. When placing the key light we used the standard rule of placing 45 degress to the side, and tried to emulate theatrical lighting, light placed 2,5 times the height of the actor.

Andreas= the next Nick Park!
