Canadians often get asked by our American friends why we celebrate our Thanksgiving so much sooner than they do. Usually, the Canadians don’t have a great answer to this, because most of us have never loooked into it. Thanks to wikipedia, we now know. If you don’t, you might want to read up on the difference.
Either way, we would like to wish our friends to the south a very happy Thanksgiving. We hope they enjoy stuffing their faces with turkey, potatoes, and delicious pumpkin pie.
We have been thinking for some time in developing a Claytorial on SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) and after some creative thought, we have come up with one of our newest characters. Were not exactly sure on a name at the moment, but are tossing around a few ideas. Were hoping to add this creative creature beside our other Claytorial characters.Any suggestions?

We have had an amazing last few days. In the last week we have not only met and spoken to many unique companies that share the love for innovative creative custom videos, but we have also spoken to people that share their own interest in the production of these explanatory videos. The people at Claytorials would like to thank Common Craft for bringing us all together, and wishes the best of luck to all inspiring video producers out there. We look forward to hearing from many creative minds out there.
This weekend starting at 10am Saturday, the brilliant minds of the Emerald City are coming together for 24hours at Mind Camp Seattle 5.0. From what I can take of it, its very similar to the open source networking order of Bar Camp. Being based in Vancouver, we will try our best to to attend and get a feel for what our friends in Seattle are up to.
If things work out well, we may even find ourselves at the Seahawks game on Sunday.
The Explanation Network is now live!!! Claytorials has teamed up with a unique “explanation” group, put together by our friends over at Common Craft.

We are very excited over at Claytorials to be involved with such a talented crew of producers for custom videos, and look forward to seeing the win-win-win situation it will create for us all.
Common Craft asks a good question. What is explanation? The list of responses are great to review, and give a solid idea of what people are looking for when they need something clarified. As Einstein once quoted “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler”. That’s just one example, for more read on. Common Craft Blog.
