What is a claymation filter?
A claymation filter is an effect that makes people and things look sculpted from modelling clay, like a stop-motion film. Facecam's changes your live camera, so the clay version of you moves and talks in real time.
Made with Facecam
Before and after, on the same clip. Fingerprints on the sweater, a clay plant on the shelf.

A claymation filter for live video
Claymation usually means moving a clay puppet a little, taking a photo and doing it again thousands of times. Claymation photo filters fake the look on a single picture. This filter does it to your live camera: each frame is re-sculpted as it happens, so the clay you talks, laughs and turns with you.
Your beard, haircut and smile carry into the clay, and the whole room becomes part of the set. Light from the front gives the clay the most detail.
Clay looks to type
Type your own clay look in Describe a look and click Apply. Say the style and, to keep your own coloring, the skin and hair you want in clay:
- “Change the style of the video to a claymation stop-motion look in bright primary-colored plasticine”
- “Change the style of the video to a claymation stop-motion look on a tiny handmade clay set of a kitchen”
- “… sculpted in dark brown clay with curly black clay hair”
