Project #10: Making a clay animation DIY move!

Design and make a CLAYMATION video production of your DIY narrative document. The duration of the show should be 5 minutes or less.

Carefully plan the production using a storyboard with shooting script.

Ensure details are finalized regarding the :

  • script - including sound effects, and lead in/credit music
  • characters, mini-you, to present the show and maybe a cohost...your partner?
  • sound recording if any
  • props and set design

Create the required equipment, props etc. using folded paper, cardboard, marker drawings and clay

Test to ensure equipment is fully functional. Shoot the film / video footage. Evaluate results and reshoot if necessary. Edit to eliminate errors and create the desired effects eg. changes in pace, shot sequence. Add music and sound effects. Screen and enjoy!
