Creating with Clay: I give it a try
This afternoon, as my three year old watched and tried to stick his fingers in the mix, I created a build-it-from-a-blob claymation figure. This is the assignment I had given my students yesterday and I should have tried it myself first (one of my mantras).
I could have used some more patience, too, but my excited audience of one made that a bit difficult. You can see it in the change of lighting, as he leans over to get a closer look at my little man. The NWP reference at the end is the National Writing Project, of which I am a technology liaison and an avid supporter.
Here is my strange little man coming to life:
The music is my own, created using the JamStudio music site.Peace (in stopmotion),

I love your claymation. What a fun project. I think I need to go out and buy some clay!

Wow! I think you did a great job for your first one. I showed it to my 14-year-old, and he cracked up at the marker outline. =)

The outline is perfect for 14 year olds, and 42 year olds, too, I guess.
It was just inspiration after my guy fell on me. You can see it happening in slow, and then fast, motion.
