Image for Plasticine Animation

Plasticine Animation

Plasticine animation is a type of stop-motion filmmaking where characters and scenes are created from a malleable, clay-like material called Plasticine. Artists shape and pose these figures frame-by-frame, capturing each position with a camera. When played back quickly, the images create the illusion of movement. This craft allows for detailed, expressive characters and flexible adjustments, making it a popular technique for animated films, commercials, and educational content. The process emphasizes craftsmanship and patience, as each small change requires repositioning and reshooting to produce smooth, lifelike motion.
