In prep for making my final year film, I’ve spent the past year watching tons of stop motion short films. Thought I’d post daily to a thread highlighting some of my favourite’s. Trying to stay sane in these very trying times. Feel free to share & post yours too!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

I’ll be at @mcranimation all week. Shoot me a message if you want to catch up!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@TimAnimation @josephwallaceuk @DelavalFilm Really great to work with you and so many other great animators and crew on this project! Very happy the world is getting to see it now!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@josephwallaceuk @pixlpa Haha, it will next get easier, especially for adverts. Im now seeing cameras being developed with square sensors that will adapt to the different aspects without reducing quality.

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

That’s my tickets to @mcranimation bought! Looks like a really exciting year! #MAF2022

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@See_Creature Yeah, so many possibilities!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

Late night playing around in my studio!
Motion control green screen and DMX lighting. Opens up so many possibilities!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

I love DragonFrame, such an incredible bit of software

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

Had a great time a couple of weeks ago down in London for the British animation awards!
Fantastic to have been part of the team nominated for ‘Wild Card’ award for “Squib” @one_6th
Thanks to Helen, Kieron and the whole @BAAwards team for a wonderful night.
See you in two years!

Also in the morning helped out some students by having a quick improv workshop on lighting/cinematography to help on their stop motion projects. Really fun day!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

Had a great time on Friday @25fpsstaffs @staffsuni Giving a guest lecture to the Masters & BA students about what I’ve been up to since graduating, setting up a studio, being freelance, finding & dealing with clients and general advice for students.

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

It’s great seeing my studio in action at the end of last year for a series of posts for LinkedIn.
Really fun project to animate & light, I even tried my hand at motion graphics when editing!

#HackBreak Make your lunch break a meeting that would be unprofessional to miss.

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@See_Creature Haha. I haven’t got that. When buying some of that parts there was a key ignition switch that appeared in suggestions. did cross my mind to add it in.
It is a proper Peli case so can be locked and is waterproof and fairly indestructible when transporting.

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

Just finished building my new 6 axis DragonFrame Motion Control Peli case. Can’t wait to have some fun with this!

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@See_Creature Yeah that’s on my list too!
On the last big project I was wiring things up on set which was all a nightmare time wise.

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@See_Creature Thanks designed to be be practical but also designed it to look cool. I do keep flipping the flight switches as its satisfying. You can't see it in the photo but the fan holes are shaped like apertures.

[Jonathan Garvey @Jonathan_Garvey]

@Theadamwat Thanks Adam, very much a wholesome moment!
