Clay-style stories, with a handmade world.
Make clay-style AI story videos with handmade characters and miniature sets. Plan scenes, add narration and captions, then animate selected moments in Clippie.
Animated style samples from the Claymation look in vertical and widescreen. These demonstrate the visual treatment, rather than a finished story with narration and captions.

A Claymation production workflow. Keep the world consistent.
Try an original Claymation story prompt
A tiny clay gardener with a green hat discovers a seed growing inside a broken teacup. In three scenes, the gardener carries the cup home, repairs its handle and watches the first leaf unfold. Keep the soft modeled clay texture, miniature wooden table and green hat consistent. Animate the leaf opening with a steady camera.
Use this as a scene brief, then write or generate the narration separately. It is a new project idea, not the script behind the style samples above. Review the still sequence before choosing which moments to animate.
Start with a clay character and a small set
Choose a character whose silhouette remains recognizable in a small frame: a round-headed gardener, a long-eared rabbit or a tiny courier with a bright bag. Describe the character’s material, colors and clothing once, then keep those notes stable across the script.
Give the set a clear scale. A miniature doorway, clay flowerpot and tabletop path should feel like parts of the same world. Keep the first story to one or two locations so the viewer can follow the action without needing an establishing shot for every line.
Generate still scenes before adding motion
Open AI Story and select Claymation in the look gallery. Set the frame to match your destination and add the narration script. Review the resulting scenes for the soft modeled texture, consistent character colors and the props the story depends on.
If a scene looks like smooth plastic instead of clay, revise the scene direction and compare it with approved shots. Keep the material language focused: modeled clay, handmade surface and miniature lighting. Mixing several unrelated rendering styles can make neighboring scenes feel disconnected.
Keep each movement simple and readable
Choose one action per animated scene: the gardener lifts a pot, the rabbit turns toward a sound, or the courier puts down a parcel. A steady camera makes it easier to inspect whether the clay character keeps its shape throughout the clip.
A clay look does not mean the output is physical stop-motion footage. AI scene animation is a separate generation step. Review the movement before applying it to more scenes, and use a still with a gentle pan when it communicates the beat clearly.

Frequently asked questions.
Does Clippie film real clay models?
No. The Claymation look generates clay-style scenes with AI. You can add AI scene animation, narration and captions; it is not footage of physical models photographed frame by frame.
How do I select Claymation in Clippie?
Open AI Story, open the look gallery and choose Claymation. Select the frame shape and add your script before generating the scene sequence.
Does the visual style animate every scene automatically?
The look controls the scene appearance. AI scene animation is optional and uses credits. Review the images and voiceover first, then animate the moments that need movement.
