The Pain and Heartbreak of Asteroids

Have been in a mood for claymation lately, so I started dorking around with a simple project this weekend:

Asteroids

It's clay over a superball "armature" (to give you a sense of the scale.) Textured with a toothpick. This is one of the few times that something came out almost exactly as I imagined it. There is a hiccup in the rotation, though. Hoping to cure it by fiddling with the keyframe spacing (rather than reshooting it.)

Also, here's a little star business from last week.

Are those ball on their own layer?

heh heh, you said "balls"

Yes, I put it together in Flash. The base movie clip contains the original rotation sequence: 30 images of the asteroid as it turns around. Then I dragged three instances of that asteroid, each on its own layer and tweened the scaling and position to create the zooms.
