How much time have (you, the team) spent working with clay (plasticine) animation?
Anthony Flack – I did my first stop-motion animation at film school, with a 16mm Bolex camera. This would have been around 1996. The Bolex was great fun but I wasn’t too keen on waiting two weeks to see what I’d shot. I soon switched to digital, but the computers really struggled with crunching video data back then. I had to spend two grand on a hardware video codec card just so I could play back TV-resolution video in real time! Everything works so much better these days, and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper. Sarah Quick – I’ve been working properly with clay for a year now. Messiest year of my life! Chris – Aardman Animations’ “Creature Comforts” is one of my favourite stop-motion shows. One of the reasons I think it works is *because* clay animation doesn’t render ‘photorealistic’ scenes/characters. What are your thoughts on photorealism – hell, any kind of realism – in games and films? Anthony Flack -Well in a way, stop-motion is a photorealistic effect because it depicts real-life obj
