I absolutely love creating stop-motion animation films using my handmade needle-felted models.
The process is incredibly satisfying as each character is carefully crafted from wool, giving them a soft, tactile quality that feels personal and unique.
The slow, meticulous process of posing the felted figures frame by frame brings the animation to life, allowing me to see the characters move in a way that's almost magical.
There’s something special about the hands-on nature of the work—every tiny adjustment feels like a step closer to creating something real and full of emotion. The tactile connection to the models makes the whole experience feel like a true collaboration between art and technique, and it's always rewarding to watch the finished film come together, knowing that each moment was made with my own hands.
The Choice - | Stop Motion Animated Film / Music Video
Each of us have choices to make in life, and I’ve always found it fascinating how just one small decision can alter our path completely!
I hope you enjoy this animation short about a little mouse and his choice that made such a difference. Ultimately learning that its ‘who’ rather than ‘what’ is in our lives that really matters.I created this animated short - including all the props and characters used in it - from scratch. I am the scriptwriter, director, videographer and singer songwriter behind this music video / film.
Thank you for watching and being part of this special adventure - Rachel 🌸
