I’ve been animating professionally for over 30 years, with credits including ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, alongside CG cinematics for Blizzard’s Overwatch, World of Warcraft, and Hearthstone. Today, I run Stunt Puppet Pictures, creating stop-motion shorts.

This course brings together everything I wish someone had shown me on day one. I’ll guide you from setting up your camera and lights to creating movement, showing weight, and bringing personality to your characters through hands-on exercises.

The course is yours to keep! You’ll have lifetime access to the lessons, so you can watch them as many times as you like and return to the exercises as your skills grow. There’s no recurring subscription fee.

Registration is currently closed. Follow me on social media for updates about future enrollment opportunities and more stop-motion inspiration.

Yes! You don’t need any previous animation experience. We’ll start with your setup, tools, and Dragonframe basics, then explore timing, spacing, and movement through simple exercises. Step by step, you’ll progress from animating a bouncing ball to character poses, walks, jumps, and expressive performances.

Absolutely. Watch the lessons on your mobile phone, laptop, or tablet whenever it suits you. Take your time with each exercise, replay demonstrations, and build your animation skills around your own schedule.
