Mala

Arrived home on Friday to find that junior had beent treated to some plasticine. And as ever I had more fun with his toys than he did...

Had a quick go at some clay animation too. Always wanted to have a go at that. Dying to get a bit of time to give it a proper go though...

  • Thanks Mary and Claire!

    I youtubed Mio Mao. Lot's of inspiration for my next attempt!

    I'd actually spent ages making a cyclops that I was going to try and make fight with another monster. But James stood on the cyclops so that was the end of that.

    Cheers!

  • That animation is quite impressive.

    Even the word Mala brings me right back. I had a tendency to eat it though.

  • Good job!

  • Do Morph next!

  • Hi Xbox, Simon and Thrifty, thanks! It really is much easier than you think. The only hard part is clicking the camera without moving it.

    B, I loved Morph and Tony Hart was a legend.

  • Oh there's some great morph gifs there!

  • Duly noted Roy! All characters will henceforth have full genitalia on display from the outset.

  • Very cool - well done. Might give this a go myself. Did it take long?

  • Hi Darren. No not long to do the animation at all. Was messing around with different characters for a while and remaking them. Then I just grabbed that one, stuck it on the window sill and click click click. Was done taking the photos in a few minutes. Didn't really think about what I was doing. Bet i'll think too much about my next one and never actually do it!

    On the computer I had to do a lot of cropping but once I got it right I just did an action in photoshop.

    In Flash when you import a photo that's obviously part of a sequence, it automatically imports everything into a new frame. So very quick. You could use a gif animator too.

    So it was all quick enough.

  • hey thats cool. I wish I had had mala that moved around when I was a kid!

    By Blogger flossyla, At 13 July 2008 11:52

  • thats brilliant. I've been thinking about doing some messing like this myself, and had thought of dolls or such like.

    Unfortunately 16-year-olds have a sh*t collection of such things.

    This is great.
