Magic Clay, A Brilliantly Nimble Stop-Motion Animation by Swedish Sculptor Alexander Unger

Swedish sculptor and filmmaker Alexander Unger (aka Guldies) has created “Magic Clay“, a brilliantly nimble stop-motion animation that demonstrates through various scenarios the amazing flexibility of clay.

Shot with a Canon EOS 600D. 1800 still pictures, 24 FPS and animated in Dragonframe. I used Sony Vegas for editing. Sound effects recorded with a Blue Yeti and some were downloaded from Freesound(dot)org. I mixed cernit clay with plastilina to get a colorful/shiny/non sticky clay to work with!
