This program describes the properties of polymer clay, the tools used to sculpt, bake and paint the material and illustrates the basic forms that you can make out of clay that provide the basis for any sculpture. Step One: Posture. The first creation is a cartoon boxing glove. The viewer builds on this experience to make a cartoon hand and arm with clothing. The fundamentals of posture are discussed along with its effectiveness in conveying meaning. Step Two: Anatomy. Students are shown how comic book artists suggest form with drawing and how the sculptor can build upon two-dimensional work as an aid in creating three-dimensional figures. Step Three: Creation of Character. A cartoon face refrigerator magnet is created, showing how feeling and character are generated through the use of careful positioning, size and texture of basic clay forms. Painting techniques are shown to create the illusion of toned skin, highlights in the eyes adding character to the face.When sold by .com, this product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. .com's standard return policy will apply.

I especially liked the insider secrets he provided on sculpting the face ...
A very informative video for anyone wanting to learn about animation sculpting.The presentation moves at a slow enough pace so as to enable the viewer tograsp each step in the process of building the character. I especially liked theinsider secrets he provided on sculpting the face and arms.

Direct and Correct for Advanced Puppet Building
This is a great jumpstart into understanding *some* of the possibilities of armature puppet animation. The corny but clear host describes a method for creating tie-down wire armature puppets with various types of Sculpey, including the new "bake and bend" kind. I especially liked the tip about using coupling nuts for feet. But be warned, this method is expensive, requires trips to specialty stores and not all of his materials are non-toxic like Sculpey. The culprit is plumber's epoxy putty, which I'll admit is an amazing product for armatures when used safely. I recommend this video as an educational portion of a "healthy breakfast" of stop-motion animation research. Just don't make it the only thing you study. And remember you can get started with simpler techniques.
