Stop Motion Production
Frame-by-frame animation for your Colombian production.
Stop-motion animation brings puppets and objects to life by photographing them frame by frame, with tiny adjustments between exposures. Colombia has a growing animation sector powered by Proimágenes Colombia and a creative community in Bogotá and Medellín whose craft has delivered internationally-festival-circuit shorts and features rooted in Colombian folklore and contemporary visual culture.
We connect you with stop-motion specialists, fabricators, and the stage facilities needed for this demanding craft. Our team coordinates soundstages at TIS Studios, RCN Studios, and Caracol Studios, Dragonframe-equipped capture rigs, and experienced animators. Qualifying productions can access the Colombia Film Law incentive of up to 40% and the CINA tax credit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What stop motion techniques do you offer in Colombia?
We offer all major stop motion techniques including puppet animation with armature-based characters, claymation, object animation, and mixed media. Colombian animators bring experience from the country's growing feature and short-form animation sector.
Can you build puppets and sets locally?
Yes, we work with skilled Colombian fabricators in Bogotá and Medellín who build professional stop motion puppets with metal armatures, silicone or foam bodies, and replacement faces. Sets are built at local studio stages with competitive Latin American rates.
What incentives apply to stop motion production in Colombia?
Qualifying projects can access the Colombia Film Law incentive of up to 40% and the 35% CINA tax credit, administered through Proimágenes Colombia. These incentives cover fabrication, stage time, and post-production for certified foreign projects.
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 Colombian facilities including LAMUVI Films, Colour Studio, and Enjoy Digital—Bogotá and Medellín post houses with competitive pricing and international workflow experience.
