Pretty Damn good
There aren't very many claymations here on NG, so it's nice to see one that is good. Keep it up, hope there's more!
4/5
9/10, video quality could be better

I've been doing Claymation for some time now, and the other day I found these trolls in a box in my basement. I made them a waaay back when I was first learning how to animate, they're a bit busted now, and they were never particularly good for animating to begin with, especially for walking. Their legs don't move at all. But I figured I'd give them another shot for old times sake. Also, I threw in some random clay blob stuff just to make it more interesting. Music made by me with sample sounds and stuff that came with my computer. So it's not really made by me but I put it together...
I have an actual flash movie in the works, it's got a whole lot more plot, characters, and all that stuff people like movies to have, but technical difficulties have delayed it for now. In the meantime here's Claymation Volume 1
I don't actually know if there will be any other volumes, but I named this one Volume 1 just in case.
One last thing, for a bit of fun while it loads, hit the arrow keys and click on the tank. Just thought I'd throw that in there.
hmm..
kinda wierd but cool
Nice.
Haven't seen a claymation in a while,not Knox quality but still a sweel job you did. =)
Great, but ruined by a horrible video quality...
Claymation is an insanely time consuming and tedious thing to do. Not only have you proven that you have the patience to make something out of clay and stop motion animation, but that you have a talent for creating characters and moving them fluidly in their environment. The music wasn't half bad either, I have to say. Very upbeat and fit what you were showing.
Now...this gets down to the reason why you got a 9/10 and not a 10/10.
WHAT THE HELL WAS WITH THE VIDEO QUALITY?! Dude, it's really not good at all and if this wasn't the first time I've seen you post something of this quality (or at all, in fact) I would have given you many more points off. I really hope if you plan to continue making such awesome and creative claymation videos, that you invest in a new camera or find an new way to compress your video files.
Please, it would be great to see some top quality claymation videos on NG. I hope you take all of this into consideration.

Yeah I made a stupid trying to get the video into flash. If and when I make Volume 2, that will be fixed.
This was pretty dang cool
I really love how well you pulled off the claymation here. I enjoyed watching those! The only thing I would have done different is putting some random music in the background. Overall it was amazing!
