Stop Motion from Screen Novelties

Mark Caballero, Seamus Walsh, and Chris Finnegan, the three founders of Screen Novelties, take audiences on a unique journey through their work, accompanied by clips that showcase how the history of stop motion has shaped their style from the very beginning. With humor, irreverence, and deep love for the craft, they reveal what inspires them and how they’ve built one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary animation.

Far from digital perfectionism, their lo-fi/cartoon approach revives the handmade, playful essence of stop motion. This talk is both a celebration of the monsters and puppets that have accompanied them and an invitation to see the craft through a different lens: imperfect, creative, and always fun.
