Molding Manifesto

Now a claymator shouldn't quit, steal characters, or be unoriginal. But what should a claymator strive to do?

Work Hard
With all that life has to offer, it is easy to get drawn to other things when more important things are at hand. You have to spend at least a couple hours every week devoting time to making claymations. You have to motivate yourself. Take pride in it, and working hard for it will be enjoyable. You will be able to endure anything.

Be Creative
Easier said than done. But have fun being creative. Go out and isolate yourself for a little bit. Listen to peoples conversations, watch how they walk. Look at the clouds, look at everything. This is the fuel for creativity and your mind is the engine. Keep a notebook on you everywhere. If anything pops up in your head original or funny, write it down right away or it will leave you forever. Keep that notebook dear to you. Take pride in writing down things in it. If your not smart, not creative, not the material that you think doesn't make you right for what you want to be, keep doing it, if its what you want. Forget the odds, forget the others, overcome. Overcome yourself first.

Be Yourself
Know yourself. Take pride in who you are, no matter what you look like, or how you sound. Then you will be unstoppable. Don't let other people get you down. If others have nothing good to say about you, don't let their words carry feelings into your heart. They don't matter. But take advice, listen thoughtfully to criticism, it is fundamental to progression. And take in the compliments. Let them go to your head. Its what you work hard for. Let your compliments be you.
