Stop Motion and Puppet Making work and work experience

From research and contacting stop motion animators and puppet makers such as Russell Peet (Cumbria), Anna Ginsburg (Edinburgh), Claire Lamond (Edinburgh), Rachael Olga Lloyd (London), Holi Ilex (Cumbria), Bob Lee and others I have learnt I may have a better chance of gaining experience buy contacting independent animators and giving a hand with their projects. This may be because I haven't heard back from many Stop Motion studios.

Stop Motion Animation in The Netherlands

Niels Hoebers is a dutch stop motion animator
I enjoy this film in particular as it explores imagination and his use of puppetry is incredible. At one point exposing the full armature, breaking the barrier between audience and creator.
