Claymation

  This is my claymation animation. To create this is very simple. I was first given some fake eyes, then some plasticine. I created some silly characters and thought up what they could do. Then like all animations I arranged the characters, took a shot and repeated the process. After which I put all the images together and created a voice over thanks to a Dictaphone. I put the voice over on top of the video and hey-presto the video is finished. The main strength is that it is so easy to do but the main weakness to the lighting in the video shows the curve in the paper, this stops the illusion that the characters are in there own world.

  Now the difference between this and my lip sync animation is that I recorded the sound after the video was edited and not before. It is however difficult if you want one of the characters to specifically say something if you are recording the sound afterwards. But with that point in mind I do prefer this style of animation to lip sync.
