Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. Characters in the animated series From Ilich to Kuzmich A clay animation scene from a Finnish TV commercial[1] Traditional animation, from cel animation to stop motion, is produced by recording each frame, or still picture, on film or digital media and then playing the recorded frames back in rapid succession before the viewer. These and other moving images, from zoetrope to films to videogames, create the illusion of motion by playing back at over ten to twelve frames per second. The techniques involved in creating CGI are conversely generally removed from a frame-by-frame process. Technique[edit] Production[edit] Producing a stop-motion animation using clay is extremely laborious.
The object must not be altered by accident, slight smudges, dirt, hair, or dust. Types[edit] History[edit] [edit] Tim Burton.
