Claymation :: Sheriff BarClay

Uploaded on Flickr by rahulrazdan.

This is sheriff BarClay, the lead character of my attempted film "Brokeback Claymation".

Initially meant to be clay-animated, the development of this character threw up many engineering challenges. It has been wire-reinforced. His wearing bell-bottomed denims was not as per initial design, but evolved more out of the need to keep his centre-of-gravity within his footfall area. However, if you see in the (attempted) film, even this did not work as per design.

But I got a new film idea… and that is what you finally see, here >>
