Head Gear Animation will be partnering with Stop Motion Dept for this project.
We have a long history of working together! Head Gear & Stop Motion Dept specialize in Stop Motion Animation and Claymation.
‘We like to create things. Building models, puppets and sets using all kinds of materials and then nudging them, frame-by-frame in front of a camera makes us a happy stop motion animation studio. We bring humour, charm and warmth to all of our projects.‘
When you work with Head Gear/Stop Motion Dept, we walk you through the entire process from start to finish and make sure everyone is having a lot of fun along the way.
