While the work to remake "the two percent" is only just beginning, I've already started planning the video to introduce it.  Because the next movie will actually be a series of shorts, I thought that now would be a great time to do something I didn't have time to do in the last video: claymation.

A few claymation websites recommended "Van Aken" plastalina clay.

Here are the destroyed remains of my first attempts at sculpting a face.  It was a crushing blow to my confidence to discover that I could not sculpt anywhere near the level I thought I could when I had this idea.

In order to continually work on my sculpting chops, I grab a piece of clay to play with while I'm watching TV. Tonights goal: lips.

Here is a short list of YouTube sculpting tutorials I've been studying - some are sections of multi-part videos.  

 This is probably my 5th full effort attempt.  I use a nail as my sculpting tool - it's surprising how much you can do with the flat end of a nail.
