A bunch of stop motion animation movies’ characters

Stop motion has a look you don’t forget. You see cloth weave. You notice chipped paint. You catch little fingerprints in clay. It feels made, not rendered. That’s the pull of stop motion animation movies. Each shot is built in real space, lit like a film set, then moved a hair at a time. It’s […]

Shadow Labyrinth’s official wallpaper

Pac-Man did not turn 45 by playing it safe.

Animators working on 5D animation projects

A normal movie asks you to watch. A 5D experience dares your body to keep up. Your seat jolts as a spaceship drops. Air hits your face as a dragon flies past. Mist pops during a river scene. A scent cue lands at the exact second a bakery door swings open. In some setups, you […]
