Do you recognise this claymation?

I have a very faint memory of this clip. I can't for the life of me remember what it is from.

Anyone know where this is from?

[DeadlyFreeze]

That would be the movie 'The Adventures of Mark Twain'.

Mmmm... Will Vinton... :cheerleader: Good eye, Deadly.

The more claymation I watch, the more I'm convinced it's place is in the horror genre

Ever hear of Clay Painting?

While this clip in particular might not help my "it's not scary!" argument, have you ever seen the strata-cut method (http://www.stopmotionworks.com/stratacut.htm) that's been used in episodes of Pee-Wee's Playhouse? There's an example in this commercial here. (http://www.bentimagelab.com/video/clearasil.htm) That's not CG, it's slices of clay cut from a giant roll. Holy God.

Er, yes. Claymation isn't scary when it's not all clumsy and poorly lit ;)

The first one is super funny. Especially the ending :)

I love the clay animation from the Neverhood computer game.

Aha! I'm gonna have to grab a copy of this.


And wow, thanks for the links guys, this is pretty inspiring stuff :)

Whoah Steph, that strata-cut stuff is crazy. I've seen it before but I had no idea that's how they did it. It would be so hard to wrap your head around animating like that.

Speaking of claymation and horror, Ward 13 is awesome.

The full short is on the Animation Show Season 2 DVD. Definitely worth picking up.

Are you kidding...Pee Wee Herman is scary!! A grown man running around like a big sissy and screaming in a high pitched voice...that is scary!

Anyway, anyone remember the California raisins?

Purple & Brown Halloween special. Now THAT's claymation horror! :) (http://www.youtube.com/v/UD7lcHAmt2g)

Mio & Mao were part of my childhood (http://www.youtube.com/v/z5sksynYMSg)

Plus the ONF has tons of these things...

Farvus: Oh god thar last one! :D

[Penabled]

The California raisins were kewl....but anyone remember the old claymation Christmas specials...Rudolph, Frosty, Jack Frost and all?

[Steph Laberis]

NEVERHOOD! Man, that and Skullmonkeys... it's a shame that method of creating game art isn't more cost-effective, I wish there was more of it out there. Remember Clayfighter for the SNES?

0kelvin, I never heard of Ward 13. Is it recent? The trailer has me all intrigued!

Ok, so it ain't cute, but there's this excellent German piece called "Balance" that's well worth the look. I think this won an academy award...

Yeah, it came out in the last few years. It's got an official website (http://www.ward13.com.au/). It's definitely worth seeing.

Another favourite of mine is Jan Svankmajer's Darkness/Light/Darkness.
