What professionals are saying about Wuchan's clay-mate armatures.
Quay Brothers:
"Hallelujah! to Wuchan Kim's beautiful armatures.
He is a very gifted artist with a deep understanding of puppets and their movements, and he gives you admirable and experienced advice along with his immaculate artistry and craftsmanship. We also had the great pleasure to meet him when he visited us in London."
Will Vinton
...It is very well made. It is small, strong and has good adjustable joints for animating. The machine work is excellent - as good as i've seen on any armatures....
Jean Poulot (Director, Professor of KOOKMIN Univ.Korea )
...ClayMate armatures are very well made, smooth, accurate, in one word, professional. The modular design is nothing less than brilliant. Although these armatures are build for professionals, they have a price tag amateurs and students can afford...
John Logue (Award-winning animation & CG director)
....These are some of the finest ball-and-socket armatures i have ever seen. They are extremely well made, very high quality and easy to modify and adjust...
Doug Aberle(Award-winning animator and founder of Aberle Films)
...These armatures are simply a delight. Well-machined, easy to use and adjust, and the modular design makes them infinately adaptable. One of the best armatures ever.
Jamie Haggerty (Armature Design Specialist, sound designer, Composer)
...The armatures that are being offered by claymate are a truly beautiful and functional design. Wuchan has achieved in a short time the level of animator friendly functionality that i tried to put into my armatures.
Any animator would be pleased to animate one of these...

...The craftsmanship and materials in Wuchan's armatures are the first class...
Rene Castillo (Award-winning director, Animator & filmmaker, Mexico)
...Animate with a claymate armature helps me concentrate on the acting, instead of trying to keep the puppet in place. the claymate armatures work perfect, are beautiful, and they are no expensive...

David P. Bonnot from Croatia (Director,
animation 'Soldat')
I can say only the best things about the Wuchan's armatures.
They are lightweight and elegant, but strong enough and perfectly manufactured.
Wuchan's modular design is practical and highly efficient ( I ordered two sets of the same design, so I discovered I can also interchange some parts to produce different body proportions for some supporting characters ). I'm in the middle of shooting my short movie, and having such a professional armatures makes it all easier
Gary Schwartz (Award-winning animator & educator-Associate Professor Animation & Digital Media Department College for Creative Studies)
ClayMate armatures are a joy to work with. Very easy to animate with. I defy you to find a better armature at this price anywhere in the world. Kudos to Wuchan Kim & his wonderfully animatable aticullated armatures.
