[1] [2] He invented the stop-motion 3-D clay animation technique which his collaborator Will Vinton would later market as Claymation , although Bob preferred the term Sculptimation for his frame-by-frame method of sculpting plasticine clay characters and sets.

Gardiner committed suicide on April 21, 2005, while living at the Everhart Hotel in downtown Grass Valley . [5]
