FAQ About The Evolution of Claymation in Stop-Motion Animation

Why is claymation considered labor-intensive?
Claymation is considered labor-intensive due to the painstaking process of animating frame-by-frame. Each small movement or change in expression requires careful manipulation of the clay model, followed by photographing each frame accurately. Creating even a minute or two of footage can involve days of work, as it typically requires animators to produce 12 to 24 frames for each second of finished animation. This meticulous attention to detail makes claymation a time-consuming and laborious art form.
