Help Relaunch Stop Motion Magazine
We’re bringing back regular issues, subscriber-only tools, and expanded festival coverage.
Stop motion is hand-made, human-led storytelling. Supporting SMM helps preserve a craft that resists the “instant, machine-made” content wave—while embracing technology only as a tool, not a replacement for artists.

Why This Matters
For 15+ years, SMM has covered the artists, studios, and festivals that keep stop motion alive. Today, when AI can generate footage in seconds, stop motion stands for human craft and intention—frame by frame. This fundraiser powers regular digital issues, new subscriber tools, and deeper global coverage that preserves and amplifies this artform.
