Its been awhile since we’ve gotten up some studio pictures and considering the progress we’ve made, its about time.
We’ve all been working on a few different projects, one of which is a new ‘identity branding’ for our collective. We were feeling our blog header didn’t show enough about who we are, so a night was spent creating letters in playdough and sculpey and then next animating what they made in the studio.
Sketches and plans before animation.
And then the mess that remained after.
David is currently working to finish the post production of the animation and Rob is collecting sounds, so stay tuned for an unveil of the new “Our Motion is Stop” identity soon.
While half the team was working on that, the other kept working on The Machine. After Kirsten finished up constructing a mini house for the first part of the animation (we can’t show you everything!), she moved onto one of the elements of the machine. Stayed tuned for a post from her, explaining a little more about the craft (and childhood memories) that goes into making each piece.

And, AND (yes there’s more) Nicole wants to get another post up later this week with a start to finish progression of one of the elements that is going into the machine. You’ll witness what it takes to bring a sketch to life and all the weird pieces that go into each.
Sneak peek: A glass panel for one of the elements. I'll show you how I made it later this week.
Hair curlers turned metalic gears.
Make sure to add us on twitter (ourmotionisstop) so you can keep up to date with our day to day adventures. Here is a few more images from around the studio. And as always, if your reading, let us know what you think.

During animation! Its a long process, if you couldn't tell by their faces.
A really, really long process (Kirsten's sewing skills in the background).
