Original AI clay films and breakdowns

Worlds you can almost touch.

01 / The idea

Clay characters. Complete stories.

Built to last past one post.

Every release starts with a character designed to return, a clear problem, physical movement you can believe, and a payoff worth waiting for.

Story

The short must work first

Every finished project must hold attention before the tools are discussed.

Break down

See how it stayed consistent

Study the character sheets, storyboard frames, references, motion, sound, failed generations, and final fixes.

Build

Plan your own clay world

Use the same production path to design the character, scenes, and movement before generating video.

02 / Character 01

The first Clay Universe character

Meet Clay Max.

Clay Max gets a locked design, expression range, props, locations, and story rules so you can recognize him across scenes, breakdowns, and future episodes.

In production

03 / How it is made

Consistency is designed

Before anything moves, the world has rules.

Each film starts with approved visual references. That keeps the character, scale, materials, lighting, and story connected from one shot to the next.

Character sheet

One approved identity, shown from the angles and expressions the story needs.

02

Storyboard

Every beat, composition, prop, and transition is decided before generation.

03

Motion test

Performance, camera movement, texture, and stop-motion timing are tested together.

04

Edit and sound

The cut, music, effects, and final image turn separate shots into one film.
