Affordable Frame Grabber
Stop-motion animators with Mac computers....if you haven't already, you MUST check out FrameThief as a full-featured alternative to the pricey Lunchbox. I've been using it on my film and love it!
This is a giant billboard right up the street from where we are making Robot Chicken. Kind of an amazing time for stop-motion right now! This building usually has the latest romantic comedy or action thriller pasted on it.
You have to check out this link to see what may be the most intricate and beautiful armature I've ever seen. It is being sold as a limited edition posable sculpture.
I have been working professionally in stop-motion animation since 1994, after getting my first taste as an intern on The Nightmare Before Christmas. Since then I have worked on commercials, TV series and feature films. I am currently a co-producer and director at Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. My personal work is fueled by a love of 70’s and 80’s science fiction and a desire to create dynamic characters and richly-detailed settings.
