Amazing, did you use replacement mouths or dis you animate each shape?

Amazing. I keep going through animation software over and over again, but they all aten't the best of the best. Its all towards the work and the clay right?

6/6, I don't see whats gonna beat this!

lad is impressed.

To Everyone - Thank you for all of your kind comments and I'm glad to know you all enjoyed the video.

To Purple&Brown - Funny thing about that, I began animation using replacement mouths, but because I use a soft clay, when taking off the mouth, I literally destroyed the mouth shape, and thus had to reconstruct the replacement each and every time. Ultimately, it was faster for me to simply resculpt the mouth each frame. I got into a pretty good and fast rythym, however.

To Gromit lad - Thank you. I have used two different softwares. The first is a software that sells for around thirty-one pounds. However, I got mine off of e-bay for twelve. The biggest perk is that it has a very good onion-skinning feature. However, I find that the free animation internet download "Monkey Jam" is a viable substitute. While it does not have onion skinning in name, it has a nifty slider that allows you to manually compare the current frame to a previous. I find it works better that even onion-skinning. If you have not tried Monkey Jam, I suggest it. However, you are correct in acknowledging that the work and clay play a factor into the outcome - work more that clay. I use several types of plasticine. My favorite is Permoplast and Klean Klay. The former is softer than the latter. Each has their uses. The time devoted to your animation is a huge factor into how well your video will turn out. I have been animating on and off for over five years, and have learned to not settle for anything less than your best. Learn this, and your videos will improve. I have learned that when I get tired of animating during a session, it is best to simply shut down the oporation and continue in the morning instead of sacrificing frames and finishing quickly. If you feel that you are animating at a high standard, but cannot achieve the quality you want, I suggest scouring YouTube for tutorials. There are many handy techniques to make movements more realistic. Remember as well that quality also comes from sets, lighting, and camera.

Thank you for your questions!

weird.............

THAT IS THE BEST FAN MADE FILM I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!

COOL!

great

Wow great!

i love it! this inspired me to keep making movies! i was about to shut down my company when i saw this and realized how rewarding this could be! keep at it! maybe make a new Wallace and Gromit minisode! I'm tired of seeing bad ones posted on here.

Thank you, jesusfreak247, for your kind compliments. The only thing more inspiring to me than finishing a video is seeing other people becoming inspired through it. Please do keep up this hobby if you enjoy it. I look forward to viewing more of you work in the future!

That rocks

that was soo good. have you got any tips for a beginner who has just started.
ps keep up the brilliant work

defmaetaltimmy, the best advice I can give a beginner would be to practice. What I mean by that is that you should, for now, simply have fun with your animating. Don't expect to pull off a masterpiece on your first shot. I have been animating for over six years, and I still have not produced anything extravegant yet. Slowly, but surely, however, I have indeed fine-tuned my own personal style, acquired good animation softwares, and observed how people move in real life. This last bit is actually quite useful. If you observe real-life movements, it will be easier to create realism in your work. So, in sumation, just practice and have fun. Eventually, and possibly quite soon, you will find yourself doing things you never would have thought you could.

Short, BUT AMAZING

only problem: wallace doesn't have a bow tie.

You are correct in that Wallace does not usually wear a bow tie, but you'll remember that in "Curse of the Were-Rabbit" we see that he does wear them on some occasions. This version is simply my exploring further into his possible tie choices.

that wasn't good that was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who did wallaces voice?
