Dang dude..
Easily the best friggin claymation I've ever seen on Newgrounds, the water and smoke effects were nice, along with the mouse getting in the car and going through his door, I was really impressed by those bits. Nice job man.

Good work
I normally hate the claymations one tends to find on Newgrounds, but this one was really rather cool. Very well animated, especially the water effects. Perfectly synced to the poem, too. Nice! :-)
Nice job!
Wonderful use of music and voice-overs, good animation and style. I really enjoyed watching this.
This claymation is beautiful.
It was a nine at first, but the catchy rhymes and amazing voice acting bumped it up. Can you tell me who did all the voices, and how you claymate? Is it just taking a bunch of photos and putting them together, or is it stop-motion or something? I hope to be as good as you one day, so don't be suprised if you start seeing me pump out claymation. I hope that you make more of this great stuff!
Dustball responds:
I (Dustball) did all of the voices. Stop motion animation can be done many ways, but we did this all on videotape. We have a cheap Sony Handi-cam that has the capability to capture a single frame at a time. So we just animated everything in order as you see it basically. OTher ways to do it would be to take all of the pictures with a still digital camera and then compile then using editing software. Or you could hook a camera up to the computer and take the stills directly into a program. :)
Enjoyable claymation
The animation was smooth and the music fit well , great job!
