Clay
and
Armature
- Do
you
need
it
to
make
an
Animation?
A
definition
of
Stop
Motion
armature
:
"Armature
in
stop
motion
animation
is a
skeleton
type
frame
used
to
give
support
or
rigidity
to
clay
or
other
malleable
material.
The
skeletal
frame
will
normally
have
ball
and
socket
or
hinged
joints
or
readily
bendable
joints
in
the
case
of a
wire
armature
to
mimic
the
joints
(elbows
,
knees,
neck
etc.)
of
human
or
animal
figures.
Thus
in
the
case
of
clay
the
weight
of
the
clay
is
supported
by
the
armature"
