It logs all of my attempts no matter how bad they are :) If you have any comments or would like to suggest an animation then please do - I am always looking for ideas.http://claymation.kitt.net/noreply@blogger.com (blogger)Blogger9125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19335474.post-5984247809285420220Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:37:00 +00002009-02-23T19:41:50.747Zrevealedlip syncanimationjokedemoinformationdinosaurclaymationSo, you saw the dinosaur joke and thought, hmmm... I wonder how he did that. Probably not, well, I will tell you anyway. My father-in-law John did the joke to camera. I then used clever animation software to study 1 frame of the subject at a time and model the character. It is called rotoscope lip syncing and it gives some truly impressive results.Here is a side by side shot which shows how http://claymation.kitt.net/2009/02/dinosaur-joke-revealed.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (blogger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19335474.post-8234924627832554644Sun, 22 Feb 2009 23:25:00 +00002009-02-22T23:28:55.434ZanimationjokedinosaurclaymationDinosaur related humour.

A story of a couple, there romance and the alien invasion of body snatching worms that brings it all crashing down. Typical love story really.http://claymation.kitt.net/2006/01/invasion-of-blobby-snatchers.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (blogger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19335474.post-113719739965048556Sat, 14 Jan 2006 00:06:00 +00002009-02-22T23:09:40.268ZalienenemyfxvsblueredclaymationA short animation by me, but one of my favourites. This story shows that you should NEVER underestimate your enemy. A quite well animated tale (if I say so myself) which is fun to watch.http://claymation.kitt.net/2006/01/red-vs-blue-claymation.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (blogger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19335474.post-113310568604385573Sun, 27 Nov 2005 15:22:00 +00002009-02-22T23:07:32.036Zinsetrotoscopelip syncdemotestAfter having a very complimentary e-mail from a class of animation students in the USA - I decided to write an epic - it is currently under production, but in the mean time, here is a sample of a rotoscoping / lip syncing test I did. I needed to prove that I could do lip syncing and it would look good. It is my very first attempt, other than that it is utterly and totally pointless - still http://claymation.kitt.net/2005/11/killer-poo-lip-sync-demo.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (blogger)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19335474.post-113303571042371853Tue, 20 Apr 2004 18:55:00 +00002009-02-22T23:03:32.071ZfunnychavsclaymationI love this movie - it took me ages and is quite long. It is a clay / computer 2d animation about annoying space chavs. If I can rant for a minute - I work hard for a living, pay my taxes, have a HUGE mortgage and generally get by OK. What I cannot stand are Chavs. People who take pride in being an underclass. Getting pissed, fighting in town centres, vandalising property, wearing thick gold http://claymation.kitt.net/2004/04/star-chavs-i-curiousity-destroyed.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (blogger)0
