Could someone help me with claymation?

[JJandJanice]

Hello everyone,

I've been thinking about doing some projects with claymation/animation/ stop motion stuff. I'm just getting really interested in working on some projects like this. Anyhow, I was wondering if someone could help with a few questions...

1) What camera is best to use

2) Where can I buy a camera like that?

3) What type of clay and paint would work best?

Thanks everyone, if I do something I'll be sure to let everyone see it.

I'm no expert or anything, but it's and to say hat works the best because there are so many options. But just figure out what works best for you. But I know for a fact that there are people on here way more helpful than I was.

This article might help.. I would also like to say that Claymation is the height of animation and that Will Vinton is one of my favorite filmmakers

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Yeah I'm having a lot of ideas coming to my head and fun writing them and crafting them. The sad part is a lack of funds (meaning I'm broke as I don't have a job at the moment, lol) But I'll find a way I'm sure of it.

Hope I could get more points of help soon.

Sounds like fun! Just remember that it's what in you're mind and not necessarily what kind of resources you have that is most important.
