Even though the art itself is painstakingly "low tech" compared to CGI there is some variations on how the final product ends up. Some like to keep true to the original methods in keeping ''everything'' in the view of the camera while others like to use digital touch ups for the more complicated subjects like fire, water or flying objects.

== Claymation (clay figures) ==
Line 27:
** The ''[[Wallace and Gromit]]'' shorts, and their 2005 feature film, ''Curse of the Were-Rabbit'', which won Nick Park three Oscars.
** ''[[Creature Comforts]]'', a series based on real audio from [[Vox Pops]] interviews, with appropriate animals substituted for the British public.
** Also their TV series ''[[Shaun the Sheep]]'' and its [[Spin -Off]], ''[[Timmy Time]]''.
* ''[[Pingu]]''
* ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch (Animation)|Celebrity Deathmatch]]''
Line 35:
* ''[[Clay Fighter]]'', ''[[The Neverhood]]'' and its sequel ''Skullmonkeys'' were ''video games'' that employed claymation art.
** Shiva from ''[[Mortal Kombat]] 3'' was made with this technique.
** Another videogame example is [[Everythings Better With Platypus|Platypus]] - which is a [[Nintendo Hard]] [[Shoot 'Em Up]].
** And the coin-op ''Trog'', presented in "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Playmation]]". It has cute little claymation sprites.
* Claymation Comedy of Horrors.
Line 80:
* The film ''[[Chicken Run (Animation)|Chicken Run]]'' -- only the heads were clay, the rest of each figure was a bendable wire framework covered in silicone. Each character wears a scarf or ribbon around their neck to hide the seam between the head and the body.
* ''[[Davey and Goliath]]''
* [[Rankin /Bass Productions]] holiday specials were usually puppet stop motion (a process R/B called "Animagic"). ''[[Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer]]'', ''[[Here Comes Peter Cottontail]]'', ''[[Santa Claus Is Comin to Town]]'', and ''[[The Year Without a Santa Claus]]'' are the most widely known.
* The French film ''Max&Co'' combines puppet stop motion and CGI.
* [[Ka Blam! (Animation)|Ka Blam!]], which has a variety-show approach to the cartoons it presents, had a number of recurring stop-motion sketches.
** ''[[Action League Now]]'' is perhaps the most notable example; it used obscure (usually Dollar Store brand) and custom action figures and referred to the process as being "Filmed in Chuckamation"--any character that flies is just tossed in front of the camera. It also got a [[Spin -Off]] when Kablam ended.
* ''[[Return to Oz]]'' blends live actors and puppet stop motion.
* Used in the ''[[Lonely Girl 15]]'' episodes "My Sister = Slut", and "My Mom's A Freak!".
