Claymation & Stop motion

Stop Motion & Claymation: The OG DIY Animation

Before CGI took over everything, stop motion was the go-to for mind-blowing animation. It’s basically taking real objects, moving them little by little, and snapping pics frame by frame—then boom, smooth movement! Think of it like a super intricate flipbook, but way cooler.

Now, claymation is a special type of stop motion that uses clay characters, making everything look extra squishy and alive. If you’ve ever watched Wallace & Gromit, The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Chicken Run, you’ve seen this magic in action. But we're here to discover the old and new, underrated, undiscovered, stop motion and claymation films! 

Yeah, it takes forever to make (seriously, hours for just a few seconds of footage), but the vibe is unmatched, handcrafted, a little creepy, and totally mesmerizing. Even with all the high-tech animation today, stop motion still hits different.
