Have any of you ever worked with clay to make animated videos? I've been playing around with cardboard, construction paper and clay together but the amount of time I spend setting up shots for claymation aspects seems to take far too long so I wanted to see if anyone else ever works in this medium.

If you've never tried it it's also really fun to play around with and you can get some very cool results.

I remember one show when I was a kid wherein all the characters were made out of clay. I don't know if it's shown internationally but the main character was called Gumby. He was really sort of just a rectangle with feet, arms and a face. :P
