hi helen,
thanks for comment, did not know it was on here.
About the technique; basically we animated clay models in front of a green screen, shot the images of the clay characters with a NIKON D50 stills camera, transferred them to a pc with a USB cable. We replaced the green screen (on the images) behind the characters with hand drawn backgrounds in Adobe AFTER EFFECTS; and edited the film in Adobe PREMIERE;
One program we recommend for simple claymation animation is MONKEYJAM, a free software you can get on the net, it works with Windows XP. or try ISTOPMOTION with MAC OSX.
good luck,
joel simon
