Watch: The little clay figure hops frame by frame with a clear stutter, finger marks still on its body. The clumsiness of stop motion is exactly its charm.A line-art demo that only illustrates the technique, not finished footage.

Sample prompt · generate a video directly

The technique comes first, followed by the scene, action, performance and duration. Paste it straight into a video model and swap in your own characters and plot.

Claymation stop-motion style, characters and set all made of clay, fingerprints and sculpting marks visible on the surfaces, a miniature set, a slight 12-frames-per-second stutter. A little orange clay fox tiptoes up to the dinner table, sneaks a cookie off the plate in its mouth, twitches an ear and turns to wink at the camera. 5 seconds, frame-by-frame movement, no smooth interpolation, no plastic sheen.

Common pitfalls

The clay turns into plasticine colors on a smooth surface.
Jitter so big it looks like a glitch.
Props at the wrong scale, like a toy commercial.

Parameter tips

Stress visible fingerprints and sculpting marks; fairly hard lighting is what makes it look miniature.
