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.

The new stock footage:
  • veo
  • sora
  • runway
  • kling
  • luma
  • pika

Obsessed with the content Lori created for our new product launches. Everything was clean, engaging to watch, and performed very well for us on TikTok and ads. One of the videos got 1.9M views on TikTok.

Christy Gurganus Head of Social Media · Casely
“

My team and I were routinely blown away by the high-quality execution of her work. I would encourage any brand looking to make dynamic content to reach out, she is a rock star.

Zach Basten Creative Director · Chomps
“

Lori is nothing short of magical. She has the uncanny ability to capture the creative essence of a project, playfully explore multiple approaches with lots of heart and zero ego, and then execute the whole thing with grit and grace.

Drop a brief
How fast can you turn this around?
Five business days on Starter, two weeks on Social Pack, four weeks on Campaign. Rush available on the first two for a fee.
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.
Who owns the footage?
You do. Full buyout, no usage caps, no expiration. Use it on paid, organic, web, email, retail displays, anywhere.
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.
Can you do animation or CGI instead?
No. Stop motion is the only thing we do. For 2D animation, 3D animation, or CGI product renders, we refer to partner studios we trust.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. We white-label for agencies who want a stop motion partner without building the studio in-house.
