Skatedog Films produce animation for all platforms.
We are passionately committed to the art of stop motion animation, and are working continually to improve and refine our output. We draw from many animation influences, but the stop motion greats are our biggest inspiration.
We have worked with numerous commercial clients and are developing our own individual brand of animated content.
We produce Stop-Motion animation, Computer Animation and Line (Hand drawn) animation for commercial and broadcast projects. We are also experienced in all stages of animated production, from inception, pre-visualisation, pipeline management, compositing and editing.
We deliver on time, on budget and throw in the special magic dust for free.
We will pour passion into your project, and work obsessively on every piece until it is exactly right.
Skatedog launched our first 'short' film last year, the 23 minute adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic tale- 'The Happy Prince'- to an enthusiastic audience, and much praise.
We are currently working on commercial projects, and have several new film projects emerging from development.
We have recently reviewed all aspects of our production pipeline and upgraded equipment, software and hardware to enable maximum quality on all projects.
We are also moving into a purpose designed studio imminently- this will offer us greater technical freedom, and opportunities to work on larger scale projects.
John continues to teach stop motion at Morley College, Waterloo, London twice a week- if interested please go to the Morley College website and search for stop motion animation here:
John has also taught stop motion to many young people and adults, from Junior schools, to BTEC students, and currently adults- enabling them to develop their own projects- this continues to be an important aspect of the Skatedog Films project- we believe that animation generally and stop motion particularly is a powerfully transformative and empowering experience, and we have seen it help with the engagement and well being of many students. We have clips of student work that we helped develop available on the showreel page.
We are developing a supportive animation community in London and further afield for students and addicts of this art form.
Please feel free to browse around, take a look at our current projects and previous work.
