What is Claymation?

[dond]

Hello

In a claymation production, artists sculpt the characters out of clay and often support the sculpture with wire molds underneath. To create the illusion of movement, the position of the sculpted characters is altered slightly in every still photo, or frame. Just like other forms of animation, claymation generally requires a storyboard or background for the characters to be set against and to develop.Though the production time and cost to create feature-length claymation films is excessive compared to other forms of animation, claymation has its own look and feel that is very different from traditional or computer generated animation.
