**[[William Harbutt]] developed [[plasticine]] in 1897. To promote his educational "Plastic Method" he made a handbook that included several photographs that displayed various stages of creative projects. The images suggest phases of motion or change, but the book probably did not have a direct influence on [[claymation]] films. Still, the plasticine product would become the favourite product for clay animators, as it did not dry and harden (unlike normal clay) and was much more malleable than its harder and greasier Italian predecessor plasteline.<ref name="Frierson 1993 142–157">{{Cite journal|last=Frierson|first=Michael|date=1993|title=The Invention of Plasticine and the Use of Clay in Early Motion Pictures|journal=Film History|volume=5|issue=2|pages=142–157|jstor=27670717|issn=0892-2160}}</ref> |
