Production notes

Angry Kid is not claymation, but a combination of pixilation, mask replacement and live action. It involves taking a live actor, sitting perfectly still and being moved like a puppet, while masks are replaced, to give the effect of speech and shot frame by frame. It doesn't really have a name.
