Claymation

Claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Everything that is animated e.g character or background is ''deformable'' is usually made from Plasticine clay. Animation from all around the world is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop motion. Each from, or still picture that is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When they play it back at a frame rate greater than 10-12 frames per second, a fairly cononvincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved.


Claymation is always fun and enjoyable if you do it the right way. For you to do it the right way you need to have some clay to make into the shape you want. Its always better to work with a partner because it always makes it easier.
For this task we had make a Morph, which was really fun but hard at the same time because the clay was really hard to put into shape so we had to wait until it melted. As I was creating my Morph it was mostly hard to make the hands and the legs because if they wasn't in the right shape they Morph wouldn't stand.
We had to create a little scene, which I found really cool because I have never done something like this before The scene was about anti-bullying. It just basically shows how people get bullied on the street and what it can course. We used Icon on a Mac computer to create the movements of the clay moulds and we also edited it on FINAL CUT PRO. With FINAL CUT PRO you can add Effects,audio and a lot more just that whatever you are creating will come out perfect.
