What is the Claymotion Ad template?
Give one product the warmth and tactility of a handcrafted stop-motion story. Advibly develops a cast and eight-beat narrative for approval, sculpts every keyframe in a consistent matte-clay world, animates the scenes, and finishes the cut with one narrator and a gentle instrumental score.
It is a guided production workflow, not a one-click filter. Planning and review happen before expensive renders, each approval keeps the next stage grounded, and every generated asset remains available for reuse or iteration.

Set the product and story direction
Choose a product category, attach a catalog product when the active brand is an e-commerce store, and add any setting, character, tone, or campaign direction you want the story to follow.
- 2
Approve the cast and eight beats
The plan moves through setup, inciting moment, social validation, quiet despair, a clay infographic, discovery, transformation, and resolution. You can edit the protagonist, locations, narration, and product moments before rendering.
- 3
Sculpt consistent keyframes
Each beat becomes a matte clay still with visible fingerprints, miniature practical lighting, and a stable character design. Prior approved frames anchor the protagonist as the story changes location and framing.
- 4
Animate the stop-motion world
Every approved still becomes a short clay animation with restrained camera movement, tactile object motion, and sound effects. The product is re-sculpted as a clay prop rather than pasted in photorealistically.
- 5
Narrate and score the final cut
The clips are stitched, one continuous storyteller voice is timed across the film, and an instrumental bed is mixed underneath with automatic ducking for clear narration.
One product. A small clay story built around it.
Click Use this template, approve the story, and render one stage at a time.
One face, every beat.
Clay stories fall apart when the character changes between shots. The storyboard stage renders the stills in order, and each character beat takes the nearest finished character still as its reference, so the same person walks through the whole story. These three frames come from one AG1 run.
- Each beat repeats the cast sheet’s wording verbatim, and you can edit both before a still renders
- Redo any single still or clip without touching the beats around it
- The product comes back as a matte clay prop with its real label, never a pasted photo

Good to know.
Does my real product appear in the claymation ad?
Your product photo acts as a reference for package shape, colors, and label details. The final world re-sculpts it as a matte clay prop so it belongs naturally in the stop-motion scene.
Can I change the story before rendering?
Yes. The full cast sheet, beat map, actions, visuals, and narration are an approval step. Editing the plan does not spend image or video generation credits.
How does the character stay consistent?
The first approved character still becomes the visual anchor. Later character scenes reference the nearest approved frame, preserving face, hair, wardrobe, proportions, and clay treatment.
Is this affiliated with Aardman Animations?
No. Advibly creates original clay characters and stories using the broad craft language of handcrafted stop-motion. It does not reproduce protected characters or claim affiliation with any studio.
