The stairs leading to the basement. Lead to a dungeon of fear. The dark swirls around me. The things that are down there turn into ghostly faces and names. Everything's terrifying. I walk around the dungeon and pretty soon I fall deeper and deeper into a pit. The vines and leaves and roots grab at my feet and hands. I struggled to get free. And then. I find myself. In my bed lying and looking at the ceiling. Here's what I'm thinking of Lexington. Yes. Do you know the scariest thing of my life is actually Ray I'm going to get you small. Oh.

Oh. To make the clay ready to be animated it has to be soft enough so you can move it around so you often need it around. Roll it and really work it before it's ready and when you make the clay films you have to would do it very slowly like. First you put a piece of clay down and put it in the shape you want or part of the shape and then click off a frame or two and then go back to it. And make it more into the shape of what you want. And then you go back and click of a few more frames and that way it'll look like it is forming by itself instead of you forming it and you keep on shaping it and clicking of frames and it takes a lot more time than it

looks like because you're going back and forth between camera and clay. The reason why I like making clay films is because at the end when you see the films it really looks nice and sort of rewards you for all the work you've done and put into it and that's really why I like making these films. All right. That's not one I would choose. Then he messages in time you got to stick it on me. Thank you. That's it.
