About

The Clay Nation site is a showcase and blog of Max Martin’s stop-motion and related animations and other work, beginning with his first experimental animations from 2006.

The videos here show a progression of animation techniques and experimentation. You’ll also find the Big Brother’s Little Brother closing credits animation, commissioned and broadcast in 2007.

Thanks to today’s stop-motion capture software (iStopMotionDragon Stop Motion, and others) this form of filmmaking has become relatively easy to try, although good results still require concentration and planning as well as inspiration.

Tutorials and tips will be added soon. If you have any questions please ask!

  1. Hi Max.

    I am currently looking for a freelance stop frame animator based near London, for a small viral series I am producing as part of a wider campaign for a fashion label.

    Please let me know how to get in touch.

    I am considering using some claymation as part of a short video to illustrate some of our training, do you produce stuff for commercial use, if so can you give me an idea of how we can work together, prices etc… tx

      Hi Kevan.

      I do take commissions, however its hard to give a price without knowing more about the project. How long it would be, whether I would need to manufacture sets or characters, etc.

      I am looking for projects at the moment, so do get back to me.
