If I understood correctly, you plan to shoot the animation from above with cloth as a background? If so, itīs better to use a hard material than cloth. A good way is to animate on a sheet of glass that is angled a little bit so that you can put cloth or a painting or whatever behind it to act as a background, but never get in touch with the clay.
