Stop Motion Prototype test 1: Claymation

The Setup

Our task for this unit is to make a short stop motion film. We have been given two options work in claymation or pixalation. This is a short test we had to make to decide what method we wanted to use.

Character specifics
Name: Arborgast Jones
Occupation: Lawyer
Species: Shark
Age: 34
Biography: The things that matter most to Arborgast are suits, barenaked dolphins and the law (In that order).

Design

I wanted a simple design that would both look interesting and still have multiple points of motion once it came down to animating.

Finished product



Overall I thought the animation went really well for half an hour fooling with a camera.
The eye movements are what I feel brought out most of the chracter shown. I haven't decided yet wether or not claymation will be the basis of my short but I'm looking forward to making my next clip in pixalation.
