Animation

Clayton Rutgar Kroll Allen

Clayton Allen is a local animator in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He primarily works in stop motion animation, where puppets made of clay or other poseable materials are photographed by a camera frame by frame, moved slightly by hand each time. His main inspiration is a love for the strange and fantastical, and an absurd sense of humor. His animations hope to inspire, delight, and transport the viewer to a place of wonder and an idiosyncratic sense of humor. Clayton hopes to help others bring their ideas to life with the handcrafted style of stop motion animation!
