Mini Animation Stage

Introducing the Mini Animation Stage – Compact Stop Motion Made Easy

At Animation Supplies, many of our products have been born out of direct collaboration with animators and the Mini Animation Stage is no exception. Following a bespoke request from one of our customers, we developed this smaller version of our popular Professional Animation Stage, designed specifically for stop motion animators working with limited space.

A Space-Saving Stop Motion Stage

Measuring 320mm x 320mm x 143mm, the Mini Animation Stage is just over a quarter of the size of our Professional Stage, making it ideal for home studios, classrooms, or compact animation setups. Despite its smaller footprint, it delivers the same quality and stability trusted by professionals worldwide.

Built to Last

Crafted from 18mm Birch Ply, the stage combines strength and practicality. Like all our stages, it’s engineered to withstand the demands of stop motion production, whether you’re creating short experiments, professional test shots, or full productions on a smaller scale.

Perforated Steel for Perfect Tie-Downs

The perforated galvanised steel top (300mm x 300mm) features 5mm holes, making it fully compatible with both Magnetic Tie-Downs and Threaded Tie-Downs.

In fact, perforated steel is especially effective for magnetic tie-downs. Unlike solid steel, perforated steel allows magnets to retain far more of their strength, ensuring your puppets and props remain stable throughout every frame of your animation.

Perfect for Beginners and Professionals

Whether you’re:

• A beginner animator setting up your first stop motion stage at home

• A professional animator looking for a portable solution

• Or a teacher seeking a compact setup for student workshops

The Mini Animation Stage provides a reliable, space-saving alternative without compromising on quality.

Born From Customer Collaboration

This product was developed in response to a bespoke customer request and we’re delighted to now make it available to animators everywhere. It’s another example of how our close connection with the stop motion community continues to shape and inspire our product range.

The Mini Animation Stage proves that small can be powerful. With its durable birch ply frame, perforated galvanised steel top, and compact design, it’s the perfect solution for animators who want professional results in a limited space.
