I would like to talk about Adam Elliot(1972), he is the director of stop motion animation “Marry and Max”(2009). Clay animated biography is his Characteristics. Each film takes up to five years to complete. As I said earlier, these are made of clay, as a richly natural material, clay is sustainable. The general clay is formed by the silicate mineral weathering on the surface of the earth. The composition of this clay is mainly silica and alumina, white and refractory, and is the main raw material for the preparation of porcelain clay. So is Clay environmentally friendly? Absolutely. Clay is an inert and environmentally friendly material, it is also a sought-after architectural design component. Throughout history, humans have used it for architecture, pottery, and so on. When the clay is dry – whether in the air or the sun – the physical and chemical properties of the mixture change, making it very hard and stable. The need to combine current architectural practices with the concept of sustainable development once again demonstrates the role of clay bricks as one of the greenest building materials in green building design. It is completely recyclable and ultimately can be returned to earth. However, Using clay to make a stop motion animation is very laborious. Each object or character is engraved with clay material, usually around a wireframe, and then take the shot, each lens needs to be slightly moved by hand and to prepare for the next lens, as so on. Until the animator reached the required amount of film. So I think this is a sustainable way in the future.
