This is a claymation that me and my classmates made, we had to mould some plastercine into different shapes and sizes and had to move them around to make this claymation.

Claymation animation: This type of animation is made by using any type of moulding material such as plastercine, clay or dough. A claymation animation is an animation with a backround and characters that are deformable, many famouse childrens movies or TV series are made using this.

Loads of Famouse animators have used this technique. They are 'Otmar Gutman' who created the famouse childrens series 'Pingu', 'Cosgrove Hall' who created the famouse british series 'Fifi the Flower Tots' and lastly 'Wallace and Gromit' created by 'Nick Park', and many more.

What is good about claymation art is that you can make anything with it, you can mould it in to anyshape, and you can move it around. However there are a couple of bad things to it aswell, you can not stretch it too much it will rip and the parts can fall off. You also can not make it look like it is flying or floating, but there are ways an animator can figure out for it to do so.
