How to make a Basic Claymation

Step 2 Making the skeleton

to make a claymation, you need a character, and since this will teach you only how to make a basic one, I will show you how to make a basic clay figure.

To begin with, take the spools of thread and the cutting tool. You will have to make four limbs, one torso, and one neck. To make a limb, take about a foot long piece of thin wire, fold it a few times until you get it to a short enough length. The torso is made in basically the same way but with thick wire and you should bend it when folding it so that there are loops on each end. these loops will provide a way to connect the limbs. The last part, the neck is basically the limb, but about half the size.
