2.0 out of 5 stars don't waste your money, June 29, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: A Beginners Guide to Animation: Sculpting Characters With Clay (2001) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
- Too short.
- Way too expensive ($10 would be too much for this one).
- Despite all the cute pics on the cover, he only shows how to sculpt a 3-fingered hand with arm and one flat-backed (refrigerator magnet) face.
- Often you don't see what he's sculpting -- you see a close-up of his face while he's *talking about* what he's doing. Seems like half the video is a close-up of his face! I'd rather see a demonstration of sculpting.
- Very little substance to this video.
- Don't waste your money on this one. (...)

4.0 out of 5 stars Direct and Correct for Advanced Puppet Building, September 11, 2005
This review is from: A Beginners Guide to Animation: Sculpting Characters With Clay (2001) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a great jumpstart into understanding *some* of the possibilities of armature puppet animation. The corny but clear host describes a method for creating tie-down wire armature puppets with various types of Sculpey, including the new "bake and bend" kind. I especially liked the tip about using coupling nuts for feet. But be warned, this method is expensive, requires trips to specialty stores and not all of his materials are non-toxic like Sculpey. The culprit is plumber's epoxy putty, which I'll admit is an amazing product for armatures when used safely. I recommend this video as an educational portion of a "healthy breakfast" of stop-motion animation research. Just don't make it the only thing you study. And remember you can get started with simpler techniques.
