Megan- don't worry about being passionate, it's the best thing you can do in these times. I love clay animation as much as you, I'd be willing to bet ;) Got any rare stuff from Vinton's? That's what I'm after. I LOVED the Claymation years. Yesterday alone I watched three of their specials on DVD. At the moment I'm trying to get through all of the PJ'S... But it will be hard. The studio was so prolific at the time, that there's hours and hours of stuff to watch. And study. And mimic :) Thanks, Clay.

And Don, I hope someone buys into your film. No - not much work with clay. But there is Aardman - the folks who did Wallace and Gromit. That's clay. But like you said - getting an English Visa is so freaking hard! BTW, my nickname is 'Clay', branched from Clayton but also because I love claymation with a passion. It's where I first fell in love with the magic of film and decided that I would definately become a film-maker. I was inspired by 'King Kong' 1933, but doing claymation as a youngster swept me up into the magic of motion pictures. I can't just back away from that, either. I have been called on a particular path into the film industry, and so I will follow my dreams all the way there. Cheers, Clay Will do Megan, and good luck with you too!

Great to see your love of the craft LIVES! I wish there was as much enthusiasm for clay, though. That's what I specialize in, and there is no work! At least, not in the U.S. It's hard to get a VISA to the UK. Argh! Ah well, maybe a wealthy investor will buy my fourth film ;) Don Hi there,

I am a big fan of stop-motion as well, and once I kick off my career as an Academy Director(I'm nearly there) after I've entered one of my films in Cannes, I plan to make many special effects-oriented motion pictures, and not once will I use CGI. It will all be done using stop-motion. Also, the guy that I hope to work with some day is a very clever fella named Eric Kessler. His username on Youtube is 'kingkongkessler', because he does some extremely advanced and clever King Kong-based stop-motion work. Like me, he is a MASSIVE 'King Kong' 1933 fan, and we have chatted many times and are good friends. So please check out some of his work on the Tube, and I hope you enjoy! Hi there!
