Thirty Four Seconds

1 package of clay
2 days of clay sculpting/photography
2.5 hours of post production thanks to "A"
3 story boards
10 sheets of construction paper
170 photographs
and countless clay poses

...all equal the 34-second long claymation movie, made by my girls. It features Super Horse and Power Puggy putting a house fire out. It's a real nail biter. (Don't be creeped out. The guy at the end is my husband, who didn't realize that picture of himself got in the mix.)


They'd like to thank the academy and, of course, their parents.

Wanna make one too? We totally winged it, but here's a good resource on how to make a claymation movie, if you're up for the challenge.

  10. I love their video. One of the things O and his friends love to do is make lego stop action viedo and then they stay up for hours editing it. It's so fun to watch them. They are so invested in it and you would think they truly are making an academy award winning movie. don't you just love these moments? Tell those girls I would buy a ticket to see this movie. It's just wonderful.
