How to vote

We're not asking for a boring old thumbs up or down in this competition. Nor are we asking for a star rating. Instead, we're asking you to decide the top 10 simply by watching and interacting. The more buzz an animation gets, the higher it'll rise. So if you really like an animation, share it with your friends, watch it every morning to get you ready for the day, drop in a comment to tell us (and the animator!) how much you like it. Basically, the more love you give an animation, the closer it will get to the top 10.

please add my link to your face book it will all help.

Animation competition claymation

I have been busy preparing characters for this short advert decided on a simple white back drop and soft lighting created from Some white canvas and basic desk lamps and home made tracing paper (shops were closed !) There is a not much time to do this Animation as the deadline is 15/ Nov/ 11 

Here are some images of my pre-production work.

                                         Here  is my humble Studio ( Summer House\Shed)

I'm using a Nikon D500 camera

I have added a third light for back lighting, which is not shown here. And tracing paper as defuseses for the bright lights. 

I made the eyes out of plastic beads sprayed white and then painted  a Black pupil on. The hole is great for turning eyes in different directions using a cocktail stick when Animating.

These little characters are set up to look like they are sitting in Petri dishes in a lab (they are in fact up turned muffin case packaging lids) the original plan was to green screen these guys and place a Lab back drop image in seen later but i like the clear white back ground and am on a short deadline
enjou and will post clip when production is complete.









Have just purchased Stop Motion Pro HD Action So that i Can use the live view software and also do without the Water mark you find with the trail version. will post more shortly.
