That was beautifully done clay animation. Thanks for sharing it! I wonder if it was done using a horizontal slice technique where all the images are built up on top of each other like a layer cake in clay and thinly cut with a wire like cheese across the surface; my friend, Peter Wallach, used an animator who employed this method for a Peter Gabriel video (or two?) years ago, which was the first time I was exposed to the technique.I've often wondered if Will Vinton has gotten upset that his trademarked term, Claymation""", has been appropriated by the masses, much like Kleenex or Xerox been for tissues and photocopying. I guess it's flattering in a way, if not frustrating.
