Learn more about claymation

Claymation is a form of stop-motion animation where characters and scenes are created using clay or similar materials. Each figure is carefully molded by hand, with individual movements made by slightly adjusting the character or object between frames. These frames are then photographed and played in sequence, creating the illusion of motion. The flexibility and malleability of clay allow animators to shape and reshape characters as needed for different poses and expressions. Claymation has been used in various films and television shows, including well-known works like Wallace and Gromit and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The process is time-consuming, requiring meticulous attention to detail, but it offers a unique, tactile, and charming visual style that makes it stand out from other animation techniques. Claymation blends creativity with craftsmanship, making it a beloved art form in both independent and mainstream animation.
