TOYS animations

First Friends on MARS

We started this project a year ago when Tolo Toys showed me they new First Friends series.
Mars theme is widely discussed and I found a lot of materials of exploration of "red planet". Besides that I'm a big fan of Space X Mars project so it was very interesting to go deeper in facts, photos and history and theory of Mars exploration to make it more real in my movies.

CITY series

New series is here - First Friends CITY. We continued to work on First Friend animations for Tolo Toys. So for 2 months I animated 3 stories about City citizens.
Here is how they were made.

PROJECT SUMMARY

It was a great time I spend doing stop motion. Not easy, sometimes hard... especially due to my passion to discover and to develop techniques and materials. Each movie I made with new tricks, new materials, new gear... upgrading my skills every time.

And I'm glad to draw the finish line here looking back at where I started and what I end up with.

THANK YOU TEAM

Anna Makovnikova and all guys from Tolo Toys for giving us freedom to create what we love.
