Fred the Dinosaurman

Fred Wierum (born: )https://www.deviantart.com/fredthedinosaurman/about, better known online as Fred the Dinosaurman, is an American Paleoartist and stop-motion filmmaker.
==History==
Fred made his first video back in 2009 it was a quick claymation of Michael Jackson, although it was a one-off video it would immediately show his passion for stop motion. His next couple of videos would show his other passion which was dinosaurs, such as making clay versions of animals from Walking With Dinosaurs. Over time he would evolve this into full stop-motion videos of many kinds using dinosaur clay models. He would do this for over 8 years until his busy outside life meant it was nearly impossible to focus on videos. He still posts on other social medias mainly since his drawings take less time than his videos but his channel has been stagnant and it seems as though he has moved onto to other things.
==Series==
===Jurassic Warpath===
For many years he made stop-motion dinosaur fights that were very controversial such as his T rex vs Allosaurus fight, but they were also very viral. Eventually, these one-off fights became Jurassic Warpath a short-lived dinosaur fight series where two dinosaurs would be pitted against each other and the one with the most votes won. 
===Minisaurs===
A short show that mainly focuses on the misadventures of Rex, Anky, Pat and a bunch of other clay dinosaurs. Most of these shorts had a very simple plot as well as a cartoony tone. 
===Clay Tutorials===
A very simple tutorial series that goes over a dinosaur species and a quick time-lapsed version of how he makes the dinosaurs that you see in his claymation videos. It also is a good way for other people to learn how to make clay dinosaurs just like him.
===Fred Draws===
Very similar to his clay tutorials this video series was the biggest non-claymation show on his channel and one that he could upload more often since it was one super detailed drawing on each episode rather than a meticulous 1-5 minute stop motion video. Each episode is as it sounds Fred will draw a specific dinosaur either on paper or digitally. The entire drawing process will be recorded and sped up to be a few minute timelapse.
