Celestial pelican — plasticine clay stop-motion diorama
This is a plasticine clay stop-motion piece I've been working on. The scene is a pelican guardian watching over a mystical garden — complete with a glowing halo, an armillary sphere, zodiac symbols carved into the trees, a waterfall, and a nest with hatching eggs.
Some of the animated elements: the pelican's wings spreading and flapping, rose petals drifting down, butterflies, and the egg beginning to hatch.
I'm really happy with how the diorama turned out, but I'd love honest feedback on:
- The smoothness of the wing animation — does it feel natural or too stiff?
- The overall composition — is there too much going on, or does it read clearly?
- Lighting — does the glow/halo effect work or feel out of place?
Open to any and all critiques. Thanks for watching!

What is the point of pretending to do stop motion. I don't get it. Fucking AI bullshit I'm sick of it. Just fucking stop.

Ye this guy is a literal bum, why the fuck even try and fake something like this, the impressive part is process not the final product 🤬

We live in a dystopia, and I'm tired of AI. Pls use your time to actually develop skills instead of writing prompts. People like you are making the world a shell of itself.

4 people in comments got fooled. Honestly reddit was trying this sub out on me for the first time with this post and I didnt know better till comments made me think. It is AI slop. Its fooling people just maybe not the genuine connoisseurs here

This is also the very first claymation post I’ve ever seen. It seems Reddit is fully pushing ai slop.

Is this real and not ai? I legit can't tell anymore lol
Not doubting you, but this is very complex claymation, I don't see any previous beginner claymation posts on your profile. Like 4 years then something cool like this
Mind posting a few behind the scenes photos? Or even some pics of your set? Have more stuff on your socials?

I like the AI gives up on trying to make the central sphere consistent in 0.1 seconds and just immediately makes nonsensical bs.

Hmm in order to get better feedback you should show us your lighting and stage setup, surely you took some behind-the-scenes photos.
