this is a short video of the critically acclaimed "Aardman animation" series "Morph." Morph is the series that was created by Peter Lord and David Sproxton for the TV debut 1977 children's BBC art programme "Take hart." Peter Lord and David Sproxton are the co-founders of Aardman animations and went on to become a regular show on children's television in the 70's and 80's.

 

 

 

 

In the video below the man called Enty who is the head of model making at Aardman animations will describe the process on how to create plastercine models with armatures made of wire. An armature is basically wire shaped into a skeleton for the model which creates the freedom of moving without ripping or tearing the plastercine so you can use the model again and again for different positions.
