Since thou who shalt not be named (I'm looking towards you, Stian) requested that I post my home-made "studio" for claymation (cl-ey-meyshon) or clay animation if you want, here it is:

First I use my JVC video camera to capture my motion and movement, and I play off one frame at a time on my computer.
I move my peace of hobby-brand clay made from a home-made mold accordingly and take one picture for each time, 24 pictures equals a second.
Then I take a random frame from each scene and print it out. I thereafter draw a background that I will talk about now.
After that I add the frames with the correct speed and all to my video-editing program (Adobe after effects) where I merge the images together to one peace of footage. I then import all my backgrounds. I drag them and scale in on each scene to make the background come on perfectly timed.
Then, since I used a green screen (Claymation creation tips 'n' tricks or something like that. Bilde202)
I can key out the green color, so that only the background and my red clay figures can be seen. They fit perfectly together. After that I render the scene and upload it to youtube.

Things I do before-hand:
Write a script
Make sure there is no shadows or wrinkles on my green screen
Make sure the lighting is just right, which is why I have a "studio-lamp" made out of a 75-watt light bulb, this resistance controller, which controls the electrical resistance so I can adjust the light, and a normal bed-lamp.

Things I need:
Good camera
6GB memory card
2 Green screens
Essential drawing skills
Resistance controller
Lamb
Hobby-brand clay
Other obvious stuff.


Important notes I must remember:
Lamp must not be behind me
No shadows of me must be visible
No blur please
No color-changes on the green screen
No natural lighting that will change throughout the movie

Lights, camera... ACTION:
