The clay figures don't keep well. They do keep for a year or two, and then the clay cracks up and falls off the skeleton. I guess they could demand a facelift.

We actually provided a clay bunny, and he was scanned into a computer, fingerprints and all, ... And then he was cloned many times so they could show them all floating around inside the glass chamber in slow motion.

I love doing features, but it's a very different ballgame. Sometimes I yearn for short films again, working with a small team, getting my hands on the clay.

These figures start getting bigger and bigger and bigger each year.

The nice thing about animation is that you can realise your inventions without understanding all the hard theory.
