The Clay Cast

The Fortress cast, modelled in clay and shot on twos (12 frames a second, each frame re-posed by hand, so nothing is perfectly still). Pick a character; tap the stage to poke the clay and watch the dent spring back over a few frames. LIT genus and species facts on each card. INVENTED names and personalities (Grok Bot's). ANALOGY clay shading drawn in 2D. Self-check: frames advance at 12 fps and each figure is built only from the real body plan (diatom: two valves; tardigrade: four leg pairs). the Fortress · ← SaPpH{{i}}on
