Welcome to Animation Supplies

We recently completed an exciting commission to create a custom stop motion armature for the wonderfully quirky characters of Ruby Ruth Dolls. Known for their unique and playful designs, Ruby Ruth Dolls are now stepping into the world of animation and we’re thrilled to help bring them to life.

One of the key features of these characters is their large, expressive eyes, so the brief required them to be fully movable for maximum animation potential. This bespoke design ensures the armature not only supports smooth, precise movement but also captures the distinctive personality of each doll.

The result? A custom-built stop motion puppet armature that’s bursting with character before the animation even begins. We can’t wait to see these dolls on screen, animated with all the charm and expression that Ruby Ruth Dolls are famous for.

If you’re looking for a bespoke armature design for your own stop motion project, our team can craft solutions tailored to your puppet’s needs, from special movement mechanisms to unique proportions and features.
