The Adventures of Clayman

Here for your viewing enjoyment are three claymations I made way back when I was first starting out as an animator. The story goes:
One day I went to the art store and bought a few blocks of clay. As I was fooling around with it suddenly a person was formed. His name.... Clayman! As soon as I got a look at him I knew he had a personality of his own. The following three episodes are a good introduction to him. I've shot about 30-40 minutes of animation with him, a lot of which is yet to be finished. I've been meaning to get back to his adventuring sometime soon. It's long overdue. In the future I think he will be sporting some new clothes!
The Episodes are placed in order of creation. ENJOY!

the latest news

It's full steam ahead in the studio this year. Next week a new music video should be coming out and I am in mid production on yet another. I've been continuing to work in the medium of paper and I must say I'm learning quite a bit. I've got the glue situation figured out (although I noticed the yellow paper I use turns a bright orange if you let glue touch it...and it stays that way!).
I'm working on a series of framed pieces in my spare time. They are coming together really well. I have plans for them that will be revealed sometime next month I think.

Basically the plan is to get everything ready and blast it all in February to officially kick off work in the new year. I'm always extremely excited to show what I've been up to. This is probably the longest it has taken to get the projects I've been working on into the public sphere. My last video came out in November and I've been working on these ever since.

Good stuff on the way. When I complete some of these frames I'll post a few pictures of the series.

NIGHT PEOPLE

Hey there!

I wanted to share with you all a total labor of love. This is a film me and my friend Richard Henry created 2 years ago called "Night People: seize the night". It's a documentary on the night culture spanning multiple avenues of thought. It should interest anyone who has a mind for things different and unique. This film won the 2007 Experimental film award at the Traildance Film Festival! Good stuff. I'm proud of it and am happy to finally be able to show it to you!

I broke the film up into six parts for its online premiere. They are all here below. Take some time to watch them and tell me what you think.... afterall it is not everyday you get an entire feature film in a blog post!
