Standby
Standby is a stop-motion short film about Amelia, an astronaut stranded after a failed space mission, drifting alone through outer space until a mysterious light suddenly awakens a part of herself long left behind.
About
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.
