Clay animation

Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually plasticine clay.

Traditional animation, from cel animation to stop motion, is produced by recording each frame, or still picture, on film or digital media and then playing the recorded frames back in rapid succession before the viewer.

In the Elsagate topic
Clay animation was used in Elsagate videos, though not as common as Live action or Computer animation. Elsagate videos where clay animation is used are generally much more elaborate and better made than the videos with the other aforementioned techniques, although they still use the sound effects from computer animation videos.
