Ibrahim Albuainain is a Qatari writer, art director, and filmmaker whose passion for art began in childhood, driven by a curiosity to understand the magic behind cartoon animation and stop-motion. Over the years, he dedicated extensive research and hands on experimentation to creating animatable puppets and handcrafted worlds. He is best known for his stop-motion film The Last Drop of Oil (2012), which screened at several international festivals, including the Family Film Festival in Hollywood, and won an award at the Ras Al Khaimah Film Festival. Ibrahim is a grantee of the Doha Film Institute for both his 3D animated film Smile You Deserve It and his stop-motion animated film Civilization of Equality, the latter screened in more than 15 film festivals around the world, including at the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film.

Barcelona, Spain

I'm a stop motion fabrication artist specializing in set construction, prop making, miniature model fabrication, and production design for stop motion and mixed-media animation. With a background in sculpture, graphic design, and an MA in Stop Motion Animation from BAU (Barcelona), I combine traditional hand-crafting techniques with precise material handling, surface treatment, and miniature lighting workflows. My core expertise lies in building scale-accurate environments, structural set pieces, functional props, and detailed models optimized for animation. I work across the full fabrication pipeline: concept development, technical drawings, material research, prototyping, fabrication, finishing, rig integration, and on-set problem solving. I’m experienced with Dragonframe-based setups, camera layout for miniatures, and collaborating closely with cinematography, rigging, and animation teams.

I'm a stop-motion animator and the founder of The StopMo World. My work focuses on character performance, storytelling, and handcrafted animation. With experience in both advertising and independent creative projects, I have a strong understanding of the entire stop-motion production process and specialize in animation, creative development, and post-production. I also work extensively with rotoscopy and enjoy creating both commercial and experimental projects that blend traditional craft with contemporary visual storytelling.
