How it works: Claymation is a stop-motion animation technique that uses clay to create characters and backgrounds. Animators create the characters by drawing on clay, attaching them to a wire armature, and then moving them into position. The clay is then recorded frame by frame, and the frames are played back in quick succession to create the illusion of movement.
