Do you know about Claymation?

Question

Does anybody know if there's a special type of clay to use for claymation or has any suggestions of what type to use? also i could use any tips you have about it, or links to places with info on it.

Answer 1

They used playdoh for the Mr. Bill sketches on Saturday Night Live, but the more current ones use form of plasticine clay that holds it's shape better under the hot lights.

I'm not sure of the brand that's best to use....
Found this though--

Answer 2

I think playdough would work well.
