Surreal Clay Creatures Interact With Each Other in the Brilliant Stop Motion Animation ‘Distortion’ by Guldies

Swedish sculptor and filmmaker Alexander Unger (Guldies) has created “Distortion”, a brilliant stop motion animation made from 2500 still pictures of very creative forms made out of clay with an equally creative soundtrack to match. Like much of his previous work, the animation is wonderfully surreal and absolutely seamless in its execution.

2500 still pictures played at 24 frames per second. Shot with a Canon EOS 600D and animated in Dragonframe. The clay I used is called PLASTILINA. Everything edited in Photoshop CC and Sony Vegas Pro. Sound effects recorded with a Blue Yeti and also taken from freesound.org.
