“For me it’s incredibly satisfying creating work that is impressionistic and relies on illusion and suspension of disbelief. Stop motion is just the most fun medium to work in.” @josephwallacedirector about his new spot for the BBC’s The Sleeping Forecast podcast featuring Jarvis Cocker—on the blog now🎥

“As children, we’re often shaped in the image of a certain mandate—whatever that may be, to the point where we’re sometimes treated as weirdos or freaks for simply wanting to express what we carry inside and take a different path. That idea was the spark behind this short film.”— @cancanclub on the blog now

“Our focus was on the animated character performances, so we made sure our armatures and puppets were top notch to be able to deliver those performances. The puppets were smaller than usual for stop motion in order to limit the size of any sets we would have to build.” @lauratofarides about her passion project Brain Space—on the blog now

“Les Bêtes was conceived to be a zero-budget, entirely recycled film in the style of a 1930’s Ladislas Starevich animation,” director @michaelgranberry told us. “Even the stop-motion characters, all of which were originally constructed for other projects that never materialized, were repurposed after rotting away in storage for almost two decades.”—on the blog now

“I could have just snapped a pic and animated that digitally, but that would have meant I lost that nice paper texture and imperfections in the printer ink that shows it’s tactile and hand-made.” @guylarsen on his visualizer for Adam Buxton’s newest album—on the blog now

“Creating the Doris puppet has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my career. I wanted her to resemble a real octopus while also possessing subtle human traits—something in her form and presence that audiences could emotionally connect with as they followed her journey. I aimed for her surface to feel rich and tactile, realistic from a distance, yet on closer inspection reveal delicate details like lace and yarn that emphasized her handmade origins.” @mightyoakgrows gives us a behind the scenes look at their exceptional work on the new docuseries, Octopus! on @amazonprime —on the blog now

“Fabricating & lighting the rainbows practically was a major R&D challenge—we wanted them to feel magical but grounded, which is a tricky balance. And animating that goop? Brutal. It doesn’t behave well with gravity, so we had to animate fast and carefully to avoid unintentional squish or slide between frames. We also shot the logo part backwards so that the [AS] stayed pristine in the end and we ensured to nail it perfectly that way.” @10secondday on their @adultswim Skullicorn bumper with @planet_super_studios —on the blog now

“Everything in this video is either needle felted or made with sheet felt, then animated at 12 frames per second…The biggest challenge with my cooking videos is animating my hand doing all the cooking. Holding a very specific position for hours on end while using my other hand to operate Dragonframe is quite difficult.” Hmmm🤔we’ll have to try to problem solve that one for you back at the lab👨🏻‍🔬…telepathy controls? — @andreaanimates on the blog now
