Explore the hand-crafted history of stop-motion claymation and how you can use it for your own stories and projects.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of how far back across cinema history that you look, chances are that some of the favorite childhood films and programs of any generation include some variation of claymation\u2014or stop-animation centered around wax or clay figures. From Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer<\/a><\/em> to Shaun the Sheep Movie<\/a><\/em> we have countless examples of claymation found across mainstream cinema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as we recently learned with the horrific news of a warehouse fire<\/a> at the headquarters of Aardman Animations<\/a> back in 2005 (the famous studio responsible for hugely successful claymation franchises like Wallace and Gromit<\/em><\/a> and Chicken Run<\/em><\/a>) the art and history of claymation might be disappearing\u2014or at least changing up against a new digital animation future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, let\u2019s explore the history of the art of claymation, where it comes from, how it\u2019s developed over the years, and see how you can use its practice and principles in projects of your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
