CLAY ANIMATION
WHAT IS CLAY ANIMATION
Clay animation is the process of telling a story through the use of clay. The story can be a historical event, a chemical process, a fiction story etc. It is also known as ‘CLAYMATION’, or ‘STOP MOTION’ animation.
HOW IS CLAY ANIMATION CREATED
Individual pictures of the clay characters are knit together with special software in order to create a seamless movie.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS
1. Create an idea (storyboard)
2. Create characters from clay
3. Build the set (including a
background)
4. Take pictures
5. Use software to make your movie
PROFESSIONAL CLAYMATION MOVIES
Producing a claymation movie is extremely laborious. Normal claymation films run at 12 frames or pictures per second.
For a 30-minute movie, there would be approximately 21,600 stops to change the figures for the frames.
For a full-length (90-minute) movie, there would be approximately 64,800 stops.
Great care must be taken to ensure that the object is not altered by accident, by even slight smudges, dirt, hair, or dust
