Tilt-Shift, Stop-Motion Squatting In Hillside Haiti

A few miles outside Port-au-Prince is a government-established camp for displaced people — Camp Corail, the only “official” camp in Haiti. Rows and rows of neatly spaced tents provide shelter for thousands of people. But just past Corail, a more “organic” community has sprouted. Nearly 100,000 squatters have taken things into their own hands and taken to the hills.

Land Rover Claymation

So it has been a while since our last post, but this is a new year with a ton of amazing new stop motion to show. Remember email us at info@stopmotionworld.com if you want to show us something. This is your site.
Back to business, I think we showed this before but anyway here it is again great spot for the land rover all done in clay. Looks amazing check it out!

Claynation, a global campaign for Land Rover, directed by Peter Sluszka, was created using clay and many skilled hands to morph and mold an ever-changing landscape. The Claynation campaign of broadcast, print ads and digital was designed, fabricated and shot over the course of 5 months at the DUMBO stage. The spot used roughly 1.5 tons of clay, with animators brought in from across the country that specialized in claymation animation.

The Land Rover car used in the spot, the only non-clay element in the spot, was dissected, modeled and printed out on a 3D printer. The car, once assembled, functioned realistically from the steering, doors, to the practical headlights. In the campaign, the car is seen driving through many clay environments, with every frame morphed and manipulated, to create the seamless journey from cities to mountains and beyond.
