Battle of the Clay Nice!!
Wow. Great job. I've got a few questions about claymation...
1.) Do they actually have to be clay, or will plasticine work just as well?
2.) What's the quickest way to get a massive bunch of images (such as those used in this claymation) into Flash? Copying and pasting takes ages... I've tried dragging all the frames in, then taking them out from the library when needed... but that doesn't work much better.
3.) What are the ideal lighting conditions for filming a claymation?
6.) Is clay significantly more solid than marzipan? Marzipan pretty much melts in your hands after the first few frames, so I'm thinking of looking out of marzipanimation and get some real clay.
7.) Is your camera bad, or is it just the export quality settings in Flash?
8.) What framerate did you use?
9.) How would you make something stay in the air during a jump? Strings? Hidden poles? Sticks?
This movie rocked, and I've given it a 5, as well as adding it to my favourites. You're in 2nd place... and since you're competing agsint Final Fantasy A+, that's not bad at all.
