STEAL THE NAUGHTY LIST - Stop Motion Movie - behind the scenes creating an avalanche

One of our biggest challenge has been creating a series of shots that involve our characters running from an avalanche. Building the set and animating the characters has been a lot of fun, but figuring out how to make the avalanche itself was a real puzzle. At first we tried just moving around batting but it didn’t look right. Ultimately Avery helped figure out a system of tubes covered in cotton rotating in different directions. This amount of action and moving parts really slows down production but we’re really pleased with how charming and fun and a little dangerous it looks. #stopmotion #stopmotionstudio #animationstudio #avalanche #snowman #actionmovie #handmadeisbetter #homeschool #stealthenaughtylist
