What is "clay animation"?
Clay animation, also known as claymation, is a form of stop-motion animation where characters and scenes are created from moldable clay. In this technique, each character or object is sculpted from clay and then moved slightly between each frame of film or video. These small changes are captured frame by frame, and when played in sequence, they create the illusion of smooth, fluid movement. Clay animation is known for its distinctive, tangible look and the ability to create expressive, detailed characters and environments with a hands-on, artistic approach.
