Do you love Stop Motion? Do you love video games? If so check this out this new game it looks amazing. Its a very original concept, the character design is incredible. I think the creators themselves describe this title perfectly it is “Wallace and Grommit meets Metal Slug.”
On a personal note I love it when two different mediums get together and show us the limitless potential for creativity, Cletus Clay is exactly born of this idea and I take my hat for Anthony, Sarah, Andy and Alex and wish them nothing but success. Believe me we will be watching and I cant wait to get my hands on this game and shoot some serious alien bum!!

About  Cletus Clay

What is Cletus Clay™?
A wild and crazy, no-holds-barred, rootin’ tootin’ varmint shootin’ side-scrolling platform brawler for home console, “filmed” entirely in claymation.

What are the main influences for Cletus Clay™?
From Wallace and Grommit to Metal Slug, from 50’s B-Movies to Alien Hominid; Cletus Clay™ has been inspired by an eclectic mix of both retro and contemporary games and films. It also features many sly little in-jokes for pop culture junkies.

How can a console game be filmed in claymation?
Every character and every set is modeled first in clay, then photographed, digitally enhanced and composited into 3d space to create a convincing illusion of an all-clay world.

That sounds insanely difficult. Why would anyone want to do that?
It creates a unique fusion of high technology and hands-on craft, of brightly-coloured cartoon stylings and cutting-edge photographic realism. It’s also an appealing and eye-catching visual style that always attracts plenty of attention. Basically: it looks stylin’.

Who came up with the idea?
Cletus was born in the mind of Anthony Flack. He has previously created stop-frame animation games Bert the Barbarian and the highly successful Platypus.
