Artist Tim Matthews' work embodies the joy of stop-motion heuristic learning. Matthews admires low-budget ingenuity and likes stop-motion to be a little "ragged around the edges." You'll see influences such as (and homages to) Oliver Postgate and Terry Gilliam in his work.
When asked to describe his style, Matthews likened his work to "slightly more elaborate day-dream doodles around the themes of (my) lyrics. I try to devise surreal, dynamic visuals which are challenging to create but hopefully end up easy on the attention span."
In AWAY, Matthews explores a variety of stop-motion styles to animate another of his original songs.
Sharing a sentiment with all Stop Motion Planet fans, Matthews says he finds stop-motion "very Zen, creatively rewarding and (I'm) simply in love with the medium. My humble goal is to keep pushing myself to develop, improve and hopefully entertain anybody else who wants to watch along the way."
Keep it up, Tim!

Squirrel Island creator Astrid Goldsmith's presentation on "Alternative Methods of Animation Film Production" speaks to the soul of the traditional stop-motion animator. Goldmsith is engaging and candid as she examines her working process from storyboarding to animating and editing outside of a traditional modern studio set-up; the importance of collaboration; and finding alternative sources of funding and distribution.
If you haven't yet seen Squirrel Island, be sure to check out Goldmsith's Kickstarter success story that was seven years in the making. It's a stop-motion sci-fi action thriller about squirrel apartheid. "When a lone renegade grey squirrel and a hunted acorn find themselves trapped on a hostile and mysterious red squirrel island, they uncover a horrifying plot that threatens their future." It was shot on 16mm with a 1969 Bolex in Astrid's garage in Folkestone. Since completion in 2016, it has won several awards, was BAFTA long-listed and has been shortlisted for best animated film at many international film festivals.

Designer/Animator dina Amin from Cairo, Egypt recently shared the latest in her imaginative and provocative Tinker Friday series with Stop Motion Planet.
"Tinker Friday is a series of stop motion animations I started on Instagram in 2016," says Amin. "As a product designer I loved creating products but I hated how most of the things we produce end up being thrown away, so I accidentally started this series where I take a random 'thrown away' product apart, on Fridays, animate it and show people what's inside it in an unusual way. I made over 30 videos since then and this is how I taught myself stop motion animation.
"Hope you enjoy watching the things I see inside my head...and inside my dolls head!"
