Stop-Motion Studios

Our stop-motion facilities give you the space and tools to develop detailed, hands-on animation using professional workflows. Dedicated studios are equipped with purpose-built stages, Canon EOS camera bodies, Nikon lenses and Dragonframe capture software, supported by high-quality Dedolight and Rosco lighting and Manfrotto grip.
