Stop Motion Production
Frame-by-frame animation for your Peruvian production.
Stop-motion animation creates the illusion of movement by photographing physical puppets or objects frame by frame, with tiny adjustments between exposures. Peru's animation community has grown steadily around Lima, with commercial, feature, and short-form creative projects fed by VFX and animation specialists like Makaco and Maneki Studio and supported by PromPerú and MinCultura.
We connect you with stop-motion specialists, puppet fabricators, and production services across Peru. Our team coordinates stage space with Lima-based partners including APU Productions and GoPeruFilms, Dragonframe-equipped capture rigs, and experienced animators, drawing on the same talent pool behind Peru's commercials, independent features, and Ibermedia-supported co-productions.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What stop motion techniques do you offer in Peru?
We offer all major stop motion techniques including puppet animation with armature-based characters, claymation, object animation, and mixed media approaches. Peruvian fabricators and animators bring craft built in Lima's advertising and animation sector.
Can you build puppets and sets locally?
Yes, we work with skilled Peruvian fabricators who build professional stop motion puppets with metal armatures, silicone or foam bodies, and replacement faces. Sets are built to scale with the same craftsmanship behind Lima's commercial and independent feature animation work.
What resolution can you capture?
We capture at 4K and above using high-resolution Canon or Sony mirrorless stills cameras with Dragonframe software. This gives you broadcast-grade detail for any Peruvian or international delivery format.
How long does stop motion production take?
Stop motion is time-intensive—typically 1-5 seconds of finished animation per day depending on complexity. A 30-second commercial might take several weeks of animation, plus pre-production and post.
Can you do motion control for stop motion?
Yes, we can integrate motion control rigs for camera movement, allowing smooth dollies, pans, and crane moves while maintaining frame-by-frame animation. This creates dynamic shots impossible with static cameras.
What about post-production for stop motion?
Post-production includes rig removal, compositing, and color grading at Lima facilities including Makaco, Maneki Studio, and Gamma Post House, whose VFX and character-animation teams handle advertising and cinema finishing with cloud-based workflows.
