Stop Motion, Clay Animation

 

 

The line 'I told you so....' was what this video was based on. I decided I would do a clay animation because I thought it would be really fun to try out and would be really enjoyable. I also thought it would be a bit of a challange so that appealed to me too.

 

I began looking at episodes of Wallace and Gromit as it always puzzled me to how they actually made a film out of little clay characters. I found it amazing! The more I looked at, the more daunting the idea that I had to make one of these seemed.

After doing the research I began to make my characters out of playdoh. I decided on a turtle as my main character because I love turtles. I named him Squirt, like out of Finding Nemo because I also love that film.

 

I then worked on the rest of my characters. My set was based around a pond so I figured I should do water-based animals.

However, I ran out of cute water animals so I put a mouse in a lifeguard buoy and a hedgehog on the bank of the pond.

After a long day of shooting each individual photo, I brought them into Adobe Premiere Pro and created my stop motion, clay animation.
