02 Meet Lori Stop motion lead · Bada Digital

Meet Lori. Our stop motion wizard.

I've always been a storyteller. I grew up making videos with my older brother on a giant family camcorder, sang and danced in musical after musical, and studied theatre and communications at Northwestern.

Now I spend my days intricately moving objects across a screen and taking hundreds of photos to make a single video. I made my first stop motion on a webcam, and I've been hooked ever since.

Stop motion artist, digital content strategist, teacher, and former actor and sign language interpreter, clear communication and powerful storytelling are at the heart of what I do.

So, what kind of story do you want to tell?

04 Why Hand-Shot The argument

The feed is full.
Standing out is the whole job.

AI video tools have made it free to produce social content that looks fine and gets ignored. Audiences filter it out the same way they filtered out stock footage a decade ago.

  • sora
  • runway
  • kling

09 FAQ Eight questions we hear most

Questions we get a lot.

Don't see your question? Reach out and you'll have an answer the same business day.

Reach out
How fast can you turn this around?
Two weeks on Starter, four weeks on Social Pack. Campaign timelines depend on scope and we'll spec them on the call. Rush is sometimes available for an additional fee, ask us on the discovery call.
What products work best in stop motion?
Anything you can put on a table. Food, beverages, beauty, supplements, apparel, packaged goods, small electronics, toys, tools, soft goods. We've also shot ingredients, hands, swatches, and abstract setups for service brands.
Do I bring the concept, or do you?
Either way. Most clients bring a brief and a product and we develop the concept. If you have a fully baked storyboard, we execute it directly.
What does the revision process look like?
Stop motion is built one frame at a time, so once we shoot, the cost of changing anything is high. That's why revisions are limited once the shoot starts.

To make sure that's a feature and not a problem, we get everything locked and verified together before the camera turns on: concept, storyboard, shot list, props, lighting, every detail. By the time we shoot, you've already approved exactly what's going to be on screen.

How does usage and licensing work?
Organic usage is yours for life. Use the footage on your website, organic social, email, in-store displays, presentations, anywhere you're not putting paid media behind it. No caps, no expiration.

For paid advertising, every package includes a 2-year ad license that covers Meta, TikTok, YouTube, programmatic, and any other paid channel. Renewals after that are straightforward and typically a fraction of the original scope.

Where do I ship the product?
Our studio is in-house, USA. We send a shipping address after the discovery call. Fragile, perishable, or high-value items get handled separately on the call.
How is this different from a regular video agency?
Stop motion is its own craft. Live-action shops outsource it. We do it in-house, every day, on a purpose-built tabletop studio. Faster turnaround, lower cost, and a finished product that actually looks like stop motion instead of stop-motion-adjacent.
Do you do animation, motion graphics, or CGI too?
Yes. 2D animation, motion graphics, explainer videos, and CGI product renders are all in-house. Stop motion is what we're known for, but tell us on the call what you're trying to make and we'll spec the right approach.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. We white-label for agencies who want a stop motion partner without building the studio in-house.
