This is my second stop motion animation, inspired by the novel Elianto, written by Stefano Benni. In the novel the characters have to go through a fantastic journey in different worlds, placed in remote parts of the universe. The world that I have choosen to represent is called "Protoplas" which is a primordial land where an alchemist,called Ermete, creates human beings and different creatures on behalf of God.

In the book this place is described as a land where there is still a primordial soup, mountains, craters and explotions, creatures continuously mutating with millions of legs or small bacterias immersed in sticky coloured liquids.

The first thing I thought before making this animation, was to use clay and brown paper to represent a rocky surface. Clay is also a good material to use to represent things mutating as it is malleable and can change form very easily. So using the same material I can create different figures like in this case, I created a volcano turning into a hand which mutates and become a human figure.
