A stop motion animation studio based in beautiful Chattanooga, Tennessee
Hi everyone!
I’m excited to announce a new music video that’s currently in the works!
The workshop is collaborating with Sean Lucy on one of his songs.
Check him out! @doojielucy
We will be making a music video for the tune Cinnamon Toast Crunch from his album Daddy’s Jawline (streaming everywhere). 
We’re a few months into pre-production now…
Stay tuned!!!
We had a wonderful time at the library’s Maker’s Day event this past weekend. I’m so grateful that the library let us set up a table and do our thing. We set the table up so people walking by could animate! Folks were animating cars, pumpkins, pawns and even small pink flamingos.
It was a blast! We had over 30 different takes! All ages too with the youngest being around 5 I’d guess? There were so many people and so many different mediums of work. The sense of community was really nice. So many creative people all in a single place that nurtures creativity and learning…
I had a triggered moment (or maybe I should say glimmered) where I thought back about the time I spent in the library as a child in school. It was a refuge. Bullies didn’t hang out in the library. CS Lewis and Lewis Carroll did.
I concatenated some of the animations from the event into a single video. That’s what you see here. Check it out!!!
The face people make when they click play and see what they’ve just been animating come to life is priceless and electrifying. It’s an expression of wonder and joy. What a wonderful day. Support your library!!!!
Yay!
I’m really excited to announce that we will have a table at the Maker’s Day event this coming Saturday at The Chattanooga Public Library !

We will be building/working on puppets for an upcoming music video all day at our table including building armatures and head sculpting. Come say hi!
We will also be hosting a basic animation workshop. More details to come on that!
Come check it out if you’re out and about!

This Saturday, September 23rd!
I’m very excited and humbled to have a showcase at the Chattanooga Library. This will be a behind the scenes type event where you can see puppets and sets as well as lots of other behind the scenes stuff. We’ll be talking about our process as well as answering any questions!
Everything begins at 4pm. The Bohannons will also be playing at 5pm! What a fun event!
It is FREE too!
I feel very fortunate that the library has asked me to do this. I can’t wait to share how we make these things with you!

IT’S OUT
Official video for Night Construction by The Bohannons. I had the pleasure and good fortune of directing, shooting and animating it. I’ve been a fan of @thebohannons for years so it was quite the honor. I’m really excited to share this!

Thank you to @one_bridges, @sir_christopher_of_house_nash and @thisissweetbeth for set production, fabrication and color skills. Thank you @snagglemouth for creating the incredible puppets! The video would not be what it is without each of these people.
Be looking out for BTS coming soon!

I’m thrilled to announce that some of the Workshop’s animation was shown back on December 9th at the Immersion Gallery which recently opened in Chattanooga on the corner of 3rd and Broad. The post is a little late due to having site problems… I’m honored to have been included with a group of such talented artists. What a blast.
