Useful Links for Help and Advice About Plasticine Animation
Duncan Whitehurst ICT Advisory Teacher Pembrokeshire County Council
Pembrokeshire schools animation website has examples of the latest
childrens’ work, animation tips, examples of storyboards and links to
useful websites.
http://pgfl.org.uk/animation
Newplast is a type of plasticine specifically designed for animation, it
doesn’t dry out and it is cheap too at £1.40 for a 500g block. You can
also order a large tub of assorted colours for approximately £20. It is
available in 22 colours and is the stuff used by Aardman. Schools have
tried other plasticine from the Cosortium and Hope but have found this
the best. Order direct from the factory at 1 Battle Road, Heathfield
Industrial Estate, Newton Abbot, Devon TQ12 6RY. Tel:01626 835700. G
Claymation at PWC is an excellent site with comprehensive advice on
getting started in clay animation, pupils’ storyboards and animations.
Well worth a visit at:
