Claymation

Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation.each animated piece, either character or backround, is deformable-made of a malleable substance,ussually plasticine clay.all traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stopmition

Stop Motion 

Stop Motion is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on it own. The object is moved in small increament photographed frames,crating the illution of movement when the series of frames is played ad a contininuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is callled clay animation or clay-mation.

Stop Motion animation has a long history in film. It was often used to show objects moving as if by magic. Stop motion is often confused with the time lapse technique,where still photographs of a live surrounding are taken at regular intervals and continuous film. Time lapse is a twchnique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed.

Drawn on film-cel animation-painting on film

a Cel,short for celluloid,is a transparent sheet on which objects are dawn or painted for traditional,hand-draw  animation.actual celluloid was used during the first half of 20th century,but since it was flammable and dimensionally unstable it was largely replaced by cellulose acetate.with the advent of computer assisted animation production,the use of cels has been practically abandoned in major productions.Disney studios stopped using cels in 1990 when computer animation production system replaced this element in their animation process.

Generally,the characters are drawn on cals and laid over a static background drawing.this reduces of times an image has to redrawn and enables studios to slip up the the production process to different specialises teams.using the lines way to animation has made it possible to produce films much more cost-effectively.the invention technique is generally attributed to Earl Hurd, who patented process in 1914.

Techniques
There are two basic methods to produce animation directly on on film. The things he did is use blank film artist can draw.
