# Clay Figurine Creation Films Chasing Bones by Pahl is a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Creativity By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-05-26 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chasing-bones-by-pahl References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/05/24/chasing-bones-a-video-by-graffiti-artist-pahnl/) & [pahnl](http://pahnl.co.uk/plasticpup.php) There are certain things that a person should never see made -- sausages, chocolate milk and Cheetos to name a few -- but 'Chasing Bones' by Pahl is an incredible display of how a [miniature clay figure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpd-pottery-kit) is created. From start to finish, graffiti artist Pahl shows the process of how he makes a [vinyl toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nina-chanel-abney-bravo) out of his signature dog chasing bone graphic tag. From molding clay into the necessary interlocking pieces to applying the paint to encasing the sculpture in glass, the video undergoes a delightful transition from seemingly simple to intricate and artistic. As much a work of art as the figurine itself, Chasing Bones is a fabulous demonstration of an artist's willingness to pursue new creative endeavors. The [miniature sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fisherprice-little-people-x-andre-saraiva) are available to purchase at 95 European pounds. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Miniature Sculpture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new materials and techniques to create unique and customizable miniature sculptures. - **Behind-the-scenes Films:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing immersive and educational behind-the-scenes films to showcase the creative process of various art forms. - **Vinyl Toy Creation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging technology and automation to streamline the process of designing and manufacturing vinyl toys. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Collectibles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating innovative techniques and materials in the production of art and collectible items to enhance their value and appeal to a broader market. - **Film and Documentary:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating engaging behind-the-scenes films that provide viewers with an immersive and educational experience, revolutionizing the documentary industry. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating advanced technologies such as 3D printing and AI in the toy manufacturing process to streamline production and offer customizable options for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Whimsical Spirit Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anima.md) - [Intricate Resin Hand-Painted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snh003.md) - [Whimsical AI Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clayify.md) - [Playful Ceramic Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beginner-ceramics.md) - [Experimental Pottery Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourd-project.md) - [Claymation Fan Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaun-the-sheep-fan-contest.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [3D-Printed Flip Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stl-sculptures.md)
