Hey, it looks good. I would just keep at it. Even the best animators and sculptors are always evaluating their own work and improving on it.

Thanks Dark!

Hi Kirsten, I did reply - you might check your spam folder. Building up a sculpey ball or using a piece of wood is a good idea. That will help the claytoon stick. If you can hot glue a ping pong ball it will help keep it light also, if the puppets head is large. If you have any other questions just reply here or send me another e-mail.

Thanks Liam, and thanks for participating!

Thanks for visiting Reuben and sharing your videos. It's always nice to see the work of others on here too.

Hey Cool Guy, I just reset it, let me know if it works out for you.

Oh never mind it works now. Thanks!

Hi Joe, thanks for the suggestion. We have a live chat area at the top of our page. Every Wednesday we meet at 8PM central to talk about stop motion news and lots of other things. I hope to see you there.

Hi Sam, nice job. I think that armature will work out really well from the looks of it!

Even if it just inspires you to make a new film that would be great!

Glad to hear it, I hope it is fun to mess around with.

No problem Neanderthal, you do some very nice work!

Nope, it will melt instead. Sculpey will harden when you bake it.

Hi Lance, the man who made those books was Eadweard Muybridge.

Hi Biju, your site is nice. It is very well put together and easy to navigate. I find the photography section interesting as well. Maybe your art teachings will make a big difference in the lives of some of the people in your country.

I can't say when it will be done since my life is really busy now. I use Super Sculpey for hard props and Van Aken Claytoon for the soft clay puppets. I also use foam latex.

No there isnt, Ive used both there the same.

Experimenting with these clays is the only way to get a feel for them. They might have changed the formula since I last used it. Also when that clay ages it becomes harder. You can't bend it when it's thick too it has to be thin. It has its advantages on really small puppets or very if they are very skinny.

Hey Jordan, yes you can. You can file it with hand files and sand paper also, they are plastic. Just be careful of your fingers!
