Ceramic is the best. I have so many old plates stacked with gouache from 20 years ago that's still great.

This project was a true collaborationβ€”from the powerful concept to the handcrafted executionβ€”and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible teams at Cossette, Rodeo FX, and See Creature.

From building a studio from the ground up to making work that’s both handcrafted and client-driven, I’ve learned (and relearned) that perfection is boringβ€”but authenticity sticks.

As a stop-motion director and co-founder of See Creature, I’ve spent years navigating the messy, magical intersection between art and business; Artrepreneurship!

thanks for the kind words! Needle felt is like a furry clay, it can be any material and it's animatable.

We had the pleasure of collaborating with some of the most talented artists from MontrΓ©al’s stop-motion community, and you can feel their love for the craft in every detail.

With only 2 mths to bring this tender story to life, every moment of production was intenseβ€”and beautiful. From day one, Ingrid was deeply involved in the creative process, trusting us to translate her intimate song into a visual world made of needle-felted characters, and handmade sets
