BUTTER ATTACK!

A stick of butter comes alive in this claymation short by Nalts and his two sons (click arrows for "making of"). Evil butter attacks our blue hereos, but is destroyed in frying pan by the nearly dead red guy. It was actually Charlie as blue guy and Patrick as red (titles accidentally credit Grant, who I promised a leading role in a future short). Inspired by Binny's Bop, which was sent to me yesterday morning by David S...

This took most of Sunday to shoot with about 1,000 individual photos using iStopMotion and a Mac, and my Canon HV20 videocamera. The voiceovers were easy (20 minutes of recording, plus an hour of editing). Lessons learned in first full clay animation:
1) Avoid any objects that move unpredictably (paper, pans).
2) Clay colors tend to blend because one color sticks on hand, and rubs on the other (use similar colors or light clay pastels not bright red).
3) Watch lighting changes (natural light not advised).
4) Go with amorphous objects since arm/leg creatures tend to distort with a lot of movement, and are harder to move due to walking motions.
5) Avoid lots of camera movements, or storyboard to avoid moving camera constantly (with wires and laptop).
6) Most of all, don't shoot in the most high trafficked room of the house.
