The Clay people


Okay, those clay figurine people of the Fourth World: does anyone know how they did that special effect in the film? I remember the computer graphics for the film Jurassic Park being cheesy, and that was released only a year before Heavenly Creatures (that is, in 1993). Those clay people looked really the way clay people in motion "should" look. And i know they could have just painted some special body paint on actors and actresses...but it seems even their eyes were glued over! I wouldn't think too much about this kind of effect in nowadays, but for 1994 i'm curious how it was done.

They're people in rubber suits.
