Hire the best stop motion animators

A Stop Motion Animator is a practical artist who creates the illusion of movement by physically manipulating real-world objects frame-by-frame. Responsibilities include:

• Fabricating puppets and building posable wire armatures.
• Lighting miniature physical sets.
• Moving subjects in microscopic increments while capturing photographs.

Animators use physical crafts and capture software. Key tools include:

• Dragonframe (The industry standard capture software).
• Canon/Nikon DSLRs for high-resolution image capture.
• Adobe After Effects for rig removal and compositing.
• Clay/Silicone Fabrication techniques.

While a Stop Motion Animator physically moves tangible puppets on a real set using practical lighting, a 3D Animator digitally poses virtual rigs inside a computer software environment.
