We are a full-service stop-motion production studio with an in-house pipeline spanning fabrication, animation, and direction.
From puppets and sets to final animation, everything is built and executed under one roof.
Trusted by brands including Burberry, BBC, Deliveroo, Hasbro, Virgin Media, TEKLA, DICE, E-ON, LIDL and more.
CASE STUDIES
Call Of Duty
Stop Motion & Virtual Production
We developed a hybrid workflow combining stop motion with real-time CGI references, importing environments into Dragonframe to guide lighting, composition, and camera work during green screen shoots. This allowed us to pre-visualise every frame in-camera, significantly reducing the need for post-production beyond minimal rig removal.
Colour grading was completed alongside production, enabling delivery within one working day of the shoot. The system also allowed clients to adjust background orientation before filming, reducing cost and increasing creative flexibility.
Virgin Media
Live action puppeteering
We delivered full end-to-end production including art direction, set building, puppets, props, and miniature environments. Our team also designed and 3D printed scaled hero product models to integrate Virgin Media’s products seamlessly into multiple scenes.
Alongside stop motion animation, we handled live-action filming with talent, puppet performance, de-rigging, and colour grading, keeping the entire pipeline in-house from build through to final delivery.
TEKLA
Full stop motion campaign and website integration
We worked with paper craft director Anaïs Herd-Smith to develop a complex stop motion campaign combining traditional craft with precision animation techniques. Each movement was carefully planned and printed frame-by-frame, with characters scaled dynamically in relation to camera motion to maintain visual consistency throughout.
Alongside the main film, we created a suite of social media assets including short-form animations and looping GIFs of the character dog, designed for seamless integration across Tekla’s digital platforms and website.
Laufey
Stop motion animation
Working closely with the artist, we developed and delivered a fully in-house stop motion music video, from initial concept and storyboarding through to design, fabrication, animation, and final cut.
Produced under a tight timeline and limited budget, the project demonstrates our ability to deliver high production value efficiently. The final film achieved global reach, including a Times Square feature and over 4.7M views.
Scale Model Studios
Scale Model Studios is a London-based stop motion animation studio delivering high-end work for brands, agencies, and creative partners.
We specialise in craft-led animation with a full in-house pipeline, taking projects from concept through design, build, shoot, and post-production. This integrated approach allows us to move efficiently while maintaining creative consistency at every stage.
Our team includes a roster of directors, animators, and model makers, bringing together a wide range of styles and approaches. Whether the brief calls for tactile storytelling, product-focused work, or experimental visuals, we build teams around the needs of each project.

What we make
Our work spans commercial campaigns, branded content, and creative projects. We approach each brief with a balance of technical precision and hands-on making, ensuring the final result feels both polished and tangible.
How we work
We collaborate closely with agencies and clients to develop ideas that translate effectively into stop motion. From early concept development through to final delivery, we focus on:
Clear communication and realistic timelines
Efficient production processes
Problem-solving at every stage of the build and shoot
Because everything is handled in-house, we can adapt quickly and keep projects on track without compromising the craft.
