how to make a claymation tutorial

[SCanimationStudio]

Nice! Help me alot

[BREBOYDE]

Lemme Suggest.... You need some sticks or strings to make them stand steady, you just need them to put it inside like a bone.

[Sukomoto00]

@BREBOYDE thanks for the suggestion but i already do that just not all the time because some of the puppets don't need it :)

[BREBOYDE]

Well, can the webcam also be usable? my camera just broke and I really need this from my school project...

[Sukomoto00]

@BREBOYDE yes you can you can get a program that uses a webcam

[BREBOYDE]

@Sukomoto00 lol thanks! subs'd!

[TheBobandOboShow]

Hey Sukomoto00 this is a cool tutorial btw i think an easier way of not getting fingerprints on the clay is wearing one of those white gloves.....hope that help because i wana no wear u got that colorful clay behind the clay dudes

[Sukomoto00]

@TheBobandOboShow i did think of that as an option but i never went through with it

also i got the clay from Joan fabrics or any craft store around you should have it

[Sukomoto00]

@pr4mm4ven yeah because if you keep animating yow will get some more finger prints on the clay

[Sukomoto00]

@pr4mm4ven if you looks real close on my videos you can see my finger prints on my clay figures so i have not found a solution that really works sadly you might be able to get latex gloves to put on your hands that might work but i can go asking around and searching and I'll tell you what i come up with. I'm interested in this too now that you've peaked my interest.

and so begins the hunt!!

[Sukomoto00]

@pr4mm4ven i have a problem with that and i have watched a few tutorials and have found out that your pinkie is the less callused then the other fingers and you can use it to smooth out your clay or you can buy or make a tool with a rubber tip to smooth with out finger marks

hope this helps

[destinymonyaeflower]

[planetrare]

Secret sauce is man sauce i reckon...

[martnsav]

Could You Use Playdoh ?

[Sukomoto00]

@martnsav yeah you could but if you put the video out then it wouldn't be a claymation to be correct it would be an animation but yeah you can use playdoh

[martnsav]

@Sukomoto00 Ok , Thanks !

Sorry , But , I might Be Getting Plasticine Soon So Could You Use Plasticine Aswell ?

[Sukomoto00]

@martnsav you can use any kind of clay i use ez shape and claytoon but any putty like substance is good

[martnsav]

@Sukomoto00 ok thank you very much 

[ShadoWzEditing]

@martnsav play doh makes it scrubby though

[clayzach3]

Check out my videos too pleez

[clayzach3]

Thanks man, that's been a big prob for me. I loved pizza papa. Needs a bit of sauce.

[clayzach3]

How do you get your guys arms to move so smoothly, mine usually rip when I use Claytoon. :( :( good vid tho

[Sukomoto00]

@clayzach3 thanks for the comment and i usually smooth out the arms and legs and when it starts to crack i keep smoothing them and overlap them again and again

[falcnpunch99]

Really nice, thanks. I started making animations and I like doing stop motion. Check out my videos :)

[NEWTAWSOME]

you can use any type of clay. It has to be modeling clay though

Like roseart clay or something

[Sukomoto00]

@NEWTAWSOME yeah you dont want it to dry out

[Pivotrulez54]

Another thing does claytoon dry out when u keep it out? by the way, im coming out with a claymation series.... well until I get some clay :D

[Sukomoto00]

@Pivotrulez54 no it stays fresh for a long long time what type of claymation are you going to do morph or story line?

[Pivotrulez54]

I have a question... did u buy that claytoon for a store or something like ebay? If u bought it from a store can u plz give me the name of that store?

[Sukomoto00]

@Pivotrulez54 sure i bought it from a store called michael's or i go to joann's craft store and look in the clay section should be around 3 to 4 $ i hope this helped

музыка из Универа ,

круто )))))))))))))))

[rEsonansDx]

that's hard... it's amazing how artists make clay animation movies for aroung 2 hours.

[Sukomoto00]

@rEsonansDx yeah it is i once made a claymation in around a month

[childpasthood]

wow this is very calming to watch! oh! can someone tell me the name of the background music that was used??

[Sukomoto00]

@childpasthood oh i used imovie music

[Sukomoto00]

@TheLetsPwners its claytoon but i use ez shape too and it does not dry out

[sneezlehose]

I started out in stop motion with 1 fps cuz i only had a video camera not a picture camera!!!!! They were so bad that i have never bothered posting them lol

[Sukomoto00]

@sneezlehose ha ha funny i started at 8 fps

[sneezlehose]

@Sukomoto00 Well aren't you special! jkjk

[Sukomoto00]

@liamiTV yes

[shanaman23]

i found this video only because i had to do this for school... :(

[Midchrome]

You dont need tons of batteries just get a camera with a rechargeble accumulator.

Like me!

[suupertramp]

oh and great tutorial, covered all the basics!

[suupertramp]

if you are using a webcam, you dont need batteries. my camera used up so many batteries i got fed up and switched back to webcam :D

[Sukomoto00]

@suupertramp yeah that bag of batteries are all used up from me now i have rechargeable batteries

[see4ward]

What is macro setting...what is "fps"..between 8? Wow...LOTS of patience...this is why mine are little balls of clay against the wall...actually, I've never even gotten this far. This is awesome..thanks for the post..maybe I'll try it - again..although, I have no idea what a macro setting is....

[BagiClaymations]

@see4ward fps meens frames per second, for example if your working at 8 fps then for every 8 pictures you take that will make one second of animation

[Sukomoto00]

@see4ward macro setting means that your camera can focus on things 30 some inches away

[BagiClaymations]

ive been using the same 5 packs of clay for 3 years, and i still dont need anymore

[Sukomoto00]

@BagiClaymations thats cool i got a lot of clay for Christmas. What clay do you use?

[BagiClaymations]

@Sukomoto00 i use newplast, it comes in 500g packs though, thats why i still have it all.

[Sukomoto00]

@BagiClaymations thats cool i looked it up on the internet looks really nice i have not seen any in any craft store =(

[BagiClaymations]

@Sukomoto00 Its only sold in the uk

[JesseBarroso]

you have alot of un opened clay

[Sukomoto00]

@JesseBarroso yeah that isn't even all of it
