    Heavy duty animation magnets

    Posted by Tim Daniel of TEDCO STUDIOS on 22nd May 2013

    These small but mighty magnets are perfect for animating steel foot characters. The tiny size allows a greater range of foot animation possibilities and there is no loss of strength with 12 kg holding power these are perfect for most scale animation needs even with larger characters.

    Super Magnets with Aluminium grips

    Posted by Val Moat on 19th Feb 2013

    I'm a raw beginner at aninmation.Having arthritic wrists, I'm hoping these magnets will be easier to use than tie downs on my 1.5mm galvanised metal stage. They are powerfull (be carfull) but easy to move or remove holding the aluminium grips.

    Keep Your Character In Place

    Posted by Mark Bowyer on 21st Jul 2012

    I am a hobby "claymation" animator and I have been looking for ways to keep my clay characters firmly attached to the set floor, especially during walk cycles when the character needs to be off balance at some points. Bolt down systems work but leave holes all over your set and separate rigging has to be removed from each frame. Using a armature with steel feet (the FX armature) this magnet is ideal for holding them firmly in place through the 3mm thick hardboard stage I recently made. It means I can position my character in pretty much any position, as long as one foot is on the ground.
