Stop-motion Claymation Exercise .
Homemade Play-dough Recipe
So here is the recipe I followed. (I found this recipe on Buggy&Buddy.com) I have included a half recipe, which is all I needed for my stop-motion exercise. The clay’s texture is smooth and study and worked well for molding and modeling while creating the movie.
However, feel free to use what ever playdough you have on hand or try another recipe.
