Props and Sets for Stop-motion Animation
In the late 1990s into the 2000s, there was a renewed media interest in stop-motion animation. Fuelled by nostalgia, but enabled by developments in digital cameras and ease of editing, stop-motion required a lot of props and sets building to create the desired worlds/environments.
I worked on Disney’s Jojo’s Circus and Logo’s Rick and Steve the Happiest Gay Couple in All the World, both produced by Cuppa Coffee Studios.
