The first directory of stop motion artists around the globe.
This map was built strictly for the stop motion community. The goal is to connect stop-motion artists (Puppet Fabricators, Stop-motion Animators, Set Builders, Armature and Model makers) worldwide, helping discover, collaborate, and make connections while enriching their creative journey.
Maybe you’ve thought about connecting with people who share your passion, or when traveling, wished you knew where to find local shops and resources for your craft.
That’s where the Stop-Motion Artist Map comes in. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that helps you find fellow stop motion artists across the globe such as props & set builders, model makers & designers, armature & rigs makers, animators, puppet fabricators and other artists in the stop motion industry.
Beyond just a directory, it fosters collaboration, inspiration, and connects newcomers with experienced creators who can collab, mentor or even share insights.
No, there are no fees or any hidden agendas! The map is strictly for stop motion artists working within the stop motion animation industry.
To get listed: It's very easy to join the map, simply fill in the google form.
The form will allows you to pick a category you'd like to be listed as on the map, such as:
Prop & Set Builder,
Stop Motion Animator,
Armature & Rigs,
Puppet Fabricator and
Model Maker & Designer
One of the biggest perks of the map is discovering other stop-motion artists in your area. Not only that, seeing who’s nearby makes it easier to form local networks, team up on projects, and even build friendships.
What can start as a shared hobby often grows into a strong sense of community in what can otherwise feel like a solitary art form. This is where the map comes in handy. Use the Stop Motion Artist Map to discover artists nearby, connect and even collaborate on projects.
Privacy matters. The map doesn’t reveal exact home addresses. Instead, artists are pinned to general spots like landmarks, shops, or central areas within a town, city, or country, so everyone can still feel represented without compromising safety.
On the move? Don’t hesitate to reach out to local artists for tips. They often know about hidden gems, specialty craft shops, flea markets, festivals, or even creative spaces, that won’t show up online. These discoveries can add unique props and materials to your toolkit while giving you a window into the local culture. Sometimes the best finds are tucked away in small alleys or local markets.
Stop-motion can be challenging, you might need new props, dioramas, interesting sets, or fresh techniques. The map makes it easier to connect with others who can share skills or resources. Imagine teaming up: one artist has a great indoor setup, another is a post-production pro. Together, you can create something extraordinary.
Just seeing where other artists work can give you some ideas. Maybe someone in a rural area experiments with large diorama sets with local aesthetics, while another in a big city makes use of urban backdrops. By exploring these different approaches, you can push your own creative boundaries and find new directions for your work
In short, the Stop-Motion Map isn't just a list of names, it's a living, growing community. It helps you discover, connect, collaborate and get inspired while giving visibility to this unique art from worldwide. Join the map in less than 1 minute, by filling in the form.
The goal of this project is to bring Stop Motion artists and creators together from across the globe.
