I discovered claymation with Taare Zameen Par’s dazzling claymation
titling. Enamoured by it, I wanted to study under the man who had made it - Dhimant
Vyas. While that did not materialize, I decided to make myself a clay selfie. It
wasn’t too bad except that I looked inflicted by some serious skin and bone
disease.
In college, I took a clay snake on a trek to Tungareshwar.

Recently, Anthony had taken up a commercial project – a bunch
of claymation films to promote a VoiP brand. Forever interested in claymation, I
turned up at the set just for fun. I watched them shoot, ate free food and
played with the leftover clay. I got to see tools that professional clay
modellers use – nothing fancy but highly functional.
Spending time pressing the soft dough and watching the clay
figures become the Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit of Anthony’s film one still
at a time inspired me to start playing with clay regularly.
I set up a page called ‘A Lump of Clay’ with a seemingly
philosophical bio that reads – ‘The world is changing and so is this lump of
clay’. Every day, the lump becomes something new.
I started with a dice and went on to do some more. Do tell
me what you think. See the rest on the Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/alumpofclay
