Here is a little claymation montage I made a while ago. What do you think of it? Has anyone else tried to make claymation or some other type of stop motion animation?
Claymation

This is my most sucessful one that I did a while back. I really want to get back to it but it's very time consuming. If you like claymation you should check out www.azzmation.co.uk - they are my film associates, Arron Cobbett who runs the site has done some really great things with clay.

Josso, that claymation bit is cool. It has a lot more story than mine has (considering mine has no story at all). Mine was composed over a series of days whenever I was bored enough to do claymation. Luckily the program I used captures at 15 frames per second so thats only half of what I'd need if I were doing a full NTSC framerate.
nice animation...it takes an hour to create just one animation
Thanks, even to create just that it took something stupid like 5 hours. I really want to get back into it now - I might get some clay out on the weekend.
I've done some stopmo myself, I won a local award for it, but i consider it peanuts.

the quality got shafted when between making the file small enough and the upload. i did the whole project using a tripod once and still i couldn't really keep the shot still. instead i just let the shakyness be part of the style. it was my first long project and currently my last. i've been looking into doing another one but i have no idea what.

the link is been remove............... 
I really wish I had a copy of the claymation film a couple of friends of mine did in high school in 1978. It was called "The Great Escape". It won several awards and included live motion as well.
The names of the guys that did it were Joel Baze and Dale Logan.

It's a nice animation overall. It's a bit blurred but, other than that, it's fantastic. I've tried thousands of times to make claymations but they're normally rubbish so I delete them almost instantly. i find that clay is hard to model, especially the ones that are rock-hard.

Mines blurry for two reasons:
- the camera it was filmed on was extremely cheap (Digital Blue)
- YouTube compresses the video a lot.
You do have to work with clay for a bit to get it to soften up. Actually if you look at my video some of the scenes have clay that was so dried out it was barely moldable.
I'm getting back into it fairly soon, I can see it coming once my current video projects are done with. I've been inspired by the new David Firth material as usual (half my stuff was originally based on his). The link isn't really suitible to post on Frihost but just search Fat Pie in Google if you want to check out his animations and already haven't (the reason I say this, is some people really don't like his flash stuff - it's qutie dark).
it's ok, a little too random though, and you should try to make the animation smoother.
Pretty nice! Still there is some improvement needed, but it is OK! 
YouTube has gone a little slow recently. It's not very fun to watch. 
In my opinion, claymation is about as boring as it gets when it comes to real entertainment. Instead of traditional claymation, you could try coming up with a new abstract idea, or try some stop-motion photography to get the job done. Stop-motion is all the rage now.
Yeah what can i say..!?
The music was nice though
As you said it was "clips I made a while ago".
Lets see some NEW work
Looking forward to seeing something NEW!

I haven't done any more claymation since I made that. If I ever do any more animation its bound to be 3D computer animation, most likely mixed with live action. And I have to admit, the music isn't mine; it came with the program I created the animation with. My only other video currently on YouTube is an example of my more recent work but again it is not any sort of animation.
Hi there!
I've tried to do some stop motion film, but only using Windows filmmaker... Does anyone know a free program that would allow more smooth motion by managing more frames per second?
Thanks!

Ah, glad it's not just me... I kind of guessed with such a big website it was just my connection but has it got something to do with Google buying it perhaps? I'm presuming that they had to transfer to Google owned servers or something. Does anyone know what has gone on?

I really do prefer the stock motion videos rather than computer animated videos,theres much more personalitly involved and can been finished in just a few days and the later could take months/years to complete and usually has no story.
Its the same tale like the 48k spectrum the commadore 64 users They used to laugh at our terrible graphics BUT we werent playing to see pretty colours we where hooked on the game play.
I like to transmit that attitude in my films also:
A good story goood story and a gooood story!
