Description: Just a few experiments to tide people over until I get a more substantial series going. An early test of this is shown at the end, but a few changes have already been made since the creation of this video so look forward to it in the near future! The screenplay for the first episode has already been completed.

I used to use Stop Motion Pro but seeing as that is not available on a Mac I had to switch to a different program, but Dragon works better in my opinion anyway. dragonstopmotion.com. Video Titles: Done in Adobe After Effects Post Production: Done in Adobe Premiere. I use Belgrave clay, which is only sold in Australia. For as long as I've been animating, I've never heard anyone tell me they've seen it elsewhere. There are plenty of good alternatives out there and remember there's no perfect clay. While good materials are certainly helpful, a good animator can still animate something amazing with 'bad' clay. I animate at 24fps. 12fps is a fairly good speed to start at if you're a beginner but I wouldn't recommend going under 12fps.
