Welcome to Animation Supplies

The All-New Animation Supplies Website is Live!

At Animation Supplies, we know that stop-motion is an art of the tiny details. Whether it’s the tiny adjustment of a finger or the subtle blend of a custom clay color, every choice you make ends up on the screen.

That’s why we are incredibly excited to announce that we have completely redesigned and launched the all-new Animation Supplies website. Our goal wasn’t just to make it look better, we wanted to build a site that helps you make better decisions for your productions.

The new Animation Supplies website where you'll find all your Stop Motion Animation needs

Visualise with 3D Product Models

We know that when you’re creating a stop motion character, you need products that you can trust. Static photos don’t always tell the whole story when making a decision of what to buy.  To help, we’ve introduced 3D models for our range of stop-motion armatures, ball and socket joint components, rigging systems and stages.

  • Rotate 360°: See our ball-and-socket joints from every angle.

  • See in your space: Use a phone or tablet to view virtual scale models on your set.

Introducing Chroma Clay

The launch of the new site also marks the official arrival of Chroma Clay, our professional-grade, UK-made plasticine that animators have been asking for.

With the closure of the Newplast factory, we saw a need for a high-quality, reliable alternative. Chroma Clay is our answer. It’s a wax-based, fully meltable modelling clay that holds fine detail between frames and performs beautifully under LED studio lights. You can now browse the full range of vibrant, consistent colors and stock up for your next production.

Built for the Community

From our new Mini Animation Stages to our ProPlus Armatures, our products are often the result of direct conversations with you. This new website is an extension of that collaboration. It’s faster, more user-friendly, and packed with more technical information to support your creative journey.

Whether you are a student filming your first stop motion film or a professional studio prepping a feature, we invite you to come in, look around, and explore our tools in a whole new dimension.
