Clay animation

what is clay animation ? 
Clay animation is when you have a bit of clay and you make something out of it like an object or some sort of creature. Then you make it do something so you move it round or move its arms and legs to make it do something. Its all done with clay so its all clay animated.

What I did?
I manged to make a mini clay animated little monster or gust. I named it Tincky and it was a pink colour with two googly eyes. I made it look like it was flying around with the rainbow in the background. The animation is called 'Rainbow love'.

If i did this again what would i do differently? 

If I did this again I would think of a better idea as my character/ monster didn't have much of a movement, it just looked like it was moving around like the body didn't move etc. It wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be and it didn't look really professional. i should have made her arms move and maybe did something else, not just move around the screen. 

Why do I like these clay animations?
I like these two animations because Shaun the sheep was my favorite animated cartoon I used to watch on CBBC when I was younger, I used to love it but I never new how it was made.
The first one includes Pingu which I remember I also used to watch when I was younger, There were short animated clips made that just popped up between programs. These animations bring back memories and the way they are made is so creative, i like them a lot.
