Creature - Clay Mation

One of my first experiments in clay animation... As you can see I'm not technologically advanced enough to focus all my shots or use a tripod.

love the meltingness of the tube

[LeeHSL]

Thanks, it was hard to do that bit, and in any case it came out quite badly. It's nice to know that you noticed it though. :P

[rdelaney]

That is awsome!!! Could you explain how you did it, I would love to do something like this. Your reality is my dream.

Take lots and lots of photos, each time moving things a tiny bit. When you string them together in sequence(I use windows movie maker, which crashes way too often, grr...)  you get an animation! Using a ball of clay is the easiest way to start off.

The 'clay' is actually silly putty. Very fun stuff, but hard to make a clay animation with...

I like how you grab the clay and then it kind of turns to slush then melts out of your hand, or ducks when you try to grab it. My first claynamation is called "the world in a ball of clay". It's not as good as this claynamation, but please watch it!

[CJP148]

yes, its called stop motion

Hey Harry, It's Charles Tiernan. Nice work. I love that shot at about 16-17 seconds where one of the balls is clinging to the other. Really quite beautiful. Also, what's the music?
