Experimentation with claymation

Above is the very first claymation live stop motion clay feature I in my group produced. I remember I was so proud of it showing everyone in the class and Lorraine. I think it looks really effective and realistic. At the very end and bouncing and being manipulated throughout, we made it roll as if a real ball would. It was to practice one of the 12 principles squash and stretch which we mastered I believe.

This was the second character we used experimenting. The first character was Keith Lemmons saying his famous catch phrase 'POTATTOO' from his show 'Celebrity Juice'. Unfortunately I don't the video of this but if was impressive. I only have a photo which I will upload soon.
But this character was no-one famous and wasn't the best out of the two I think. Here you see the character crying and over time as the tears roll down which was a long and slow procedure gradually forms a puddle of tears by his side. I wouldnt of improved this by making the movements slower with a small frame of capture. But I think it gets the point across and does work well. :)
