claymation

we are making some claymation videos, which is taking a bunch of pictures of clay people/ things, each one a little differently positioned, and when you put it all togehter in the end, it looks like they are moving. its pretty awesome.

Rosa and I worked together on ours. it features me (Alyssa), Rosa M., and Alyda S. Alyda is a fish (she likes fish) and we feed her chocolate (she likes chocolate) (i know chocolate is harmful to dogs... is it harmful to fish too? oh well..). and yeah, thats pretty much it, actually. here is a few pictures of our claymation characters.



the family (me, alyda, rosa)

 so, we watched a little of Wallace and Gromit in class. Wallace And Gromit is a claymation video about a guy and his best friend (the dog).  and they do all these weird stuff together. its kinda like in our video. for some reason we are feeding chocolate to fish.
some very popular claymation artist include Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit), Will Vinton (Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas Celebration), and Art Clokey (Gumby). The art of claymation has been dated back to 1897, when plasticine was invented.
