A timelapse view of animator @animationbyakash Akash Jones animating the Mother running to the waters edge at a pivotal moment in the stop-Motion short film “The Other Ones”, produced by @taqqutproductions at Stop Motion Department studios. For the large exteriors of this film, only partial full-size sets were used, and the background was extended by compositors using photographed assets and photogrammetry of our miniature sets.

Taqqut Productions and Stop Motion Department are proud to present 'The Other Ones', a haunting story of family, memory, spirituality, and the things we inherit from those who came before us.
In this exclusive teaser, director and writer Jamesie Fournier takes us behind the scenes of the film, and shares a glimpse into the story and its themes.
'The Other Ones' premieres this week at @ottawa.animationfestival

Sheridan summer interns have been buzzy making bugs for the first episode of Bumpadoo Season 2! From @terryibele’s designs, they fabricated their own characters under guidance of puppet supervisor @stop_mo_mea, then animated their bugs! Thanks to these three, we’ve got our first 3 shots in the can, and most importantly, crossed off on the big board.
Thanks to @seash3llsss, @trivin.o, and @jazzorii for joining us this summer! Catch Bumpadoo Season 2 to see these bugs in action.
Stay tuned for more updates this summer as production ramps up! Thanks to our funders @CMF, @OntarioCreates @rocketfundcanada, @tvokids, @veritefilms.ca

Bumpadoo Season 2 is launched! Our starting crew is working away on new puppets, sets and all kinds of goodies for a fresh new season, and more crew will be joining us at the studio over the next few weeks.
Especially grateful to have our Sheridan co-opers working on some special puppets for episode one. Thanks to @seash3llsss, @trivin.o, and @jazzorii for joining us this summer!
Stay tuned for more updates this summer as production ramps up! Thanks to our funders @CMF, @OntarioCreates @rocketfundcanada, @tvokids, @veritefilms.ca
