Christophe Lopez-Huici claymation for Amazon Publishing

Christophe Lopez-Huici recently completed this fun claymation piece for Amazon Publishing.  The animation is for the promotion of a new book titled "Elimination Night", which is a roman à clef about the behind the scenes of American Idol.  Since the writer of the book chose to remain anonymous, Amazon decided to use the animation as a mock interview of the writer and a preview of the book.

The client gave Christophe a script and dialogues to work with, and from there he did a storyboard, characters, animation, and editing.  From start to finish, the project took him about two months to complete.

Here is the final animation, as well as photos of some of the characters, sets, and screenshots:
