Outrage

This isn't claymation, but this is something you all need to watch. On Demand>Movies>Same Day as Theaters, there's a movie called "the Art of the Steal" and it's about the rape of the Barnes collection by Philadelphia politicians. Must watch

I know I already posted this link, but I've decided to do my last sketch in this same format. I have a small, movable pirate who plays a violin. I'm going to use a single background and use vague shapes and colors to suggest places and actions.

I have also decided to fix up the "hair attack" portion of my Hair Assassins video in order to intensify the threat (relatively speaking). I am hoping that I won't have to re-do any portions of speaking because moving the lips of the characters and then trying to match them to the speech was wayy too time consuming!

Here is my second sketch on youtube, for anyone who is interested or wants to provide feedback:

The Dysfunctional Passover Seder

I'd just like to clarify that the woman is throwing matzah balls at the end.

i've always found the transformation drag performers undergo to be fascinating. Makeup is used as an art form to create visual illusions to mask their real genders and impersonate another, which when done successfully goes beyond lipstick and eyeshadow into masking facial structure using artificial colors and shadows.
With RuPaul's Drag Race on television, which shows the drag queens before, during and after their switch from man to "woman", it got me inspired to do an art piece involving drag to show how drawing skills and knowledge of the different structural make up of male and female figures can be utilized to trick the mind by altering perception.

Stop motion was a great way to show the changes undergone because the process allowed me to show the progress develop quickly while keeping my face in essentially the same spot. So yeah here is my video! I made it with some sort of storyline and "naturalism" to it with the growing and shaving of the beard. Enjoy!

I think the sound in stop motions plays a super important role for me, setting the mood in life-acted films, and helping make claymations more relatable.

also, I used to play with staining things with this type of berry all the time when I was little, so which makes this video great for me.

Tea Man

I know I'm a day late but I completely forgot about posting a blog. So here's mine. I was just searching for video's on claymation on youtube when I stumbled on to this link.

Its called the Adventure of TeaMan, I believe. Its really well animated and the voice sync with the lip movement is perfect. Check it out and you might get a laugh out of it as well.
