Claymation Animation




Claymation is the generalized term for clay animation, a form of stop animation using clay. The term claymation was coined by its creator, Will Vinton, owner of an animation studio that worked with clay artists to create clay animation. Claymation involves using objects or characters sculpted from clay or other moldable material, and then taking a series of still pictures that are replayed in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement. Some of the more famous claymation characters in history include Gumby and Pokey, Wallace and Gromit, and comfort creatures.

  1. You have explained the development of different animation techniques and you have given good examples. YOur work is at a Merit level. However this could be easily improved if you Critically evaluate each animation technique with another one. Draw upon your own in class experiences in your evaluations.
