I love magnetic replacement mouths! Very sad this project is almost done @birute.sodeikaite #stopmotion #animation

Animating a puppet sewing using a bent pin to get at those little fingers. This animation was one of my favourite shots I animated but it didn’t end up in the final cut! @clydehenryproductions @compulsiongames #stopmotion #animation #southofmidnight

From this summer working with @clydehenryproductions @compulsiongames . I took this video to document the maze of lights and flags I had to pass through to get to set to animate. Thanks to @les_vues_ for that.

animating 🦬 for @birute.sodeikaite

I thought I animated my last shot on this film a 14 months ago when I left on maternity leave but here we are again! Back animating my favourite character for his final shots. Feeling very grateful stop motion is such a slow process and I get to finish off this film with @clydehenryproductions @onf_nfb

Woohoo! #vimeostaffpick
