Question

Answer 1

you will need:

video camera
computer
video editing software.

Create your tabletop scene. You probably already have the skills as far as the clay and stuff.

frame the scene and start the video camera.

reach in and move the figure a bit, and then get your hand out of the way.

repeat, moving the clay "actors" a little bit at a time till the scene is done.

then open the video editing software. (my personal choice is SONY VEGAS home edition) and load your scene in it.

delete the frames where your hands were in the picture.

experiment... redo...
have fun...
