clay animation



My clay animation is well in pace with the movements of the characters and the music used to fit this. It carries out a dance scene with the two characters present in the video and delivers a well performance in time with the music. The characters are well built and share a resemblance of the famous children's character 'Morph'.

The character 'Morph' has a huge significance with my clay character as he is based of off Morph and built in the exact same way. He was huge success for the Aardman productions in 1976, as Morph helped  establish the Aardman name well across the country as one of the top children's animators.
One of the key strengths of clay animation, is the convenience and accessibility of clay. I's timeless and easy to make, can be done conveniently and can pass of really well if put together good.

Another strength is its endless range and endless creativity. You can essentially create anything with the plasticine, the variety is endless and because it is easy to do so you can produce many many things.
However, it has its limitations; such as, if its not a clean/sharp cut it will show of and the viewers will see this meaning if there are any errors and mistakes, it can be difficult to fix. Even if edited, the chances of these errors showing up are really high
