During the last few years, I have been Experimenting with STRATA-CUT.

I believe that by creating a community around the technique we will be able to make this art grow.

In this video, I expose the reasons why we have to do so, and I also tell you the story of how the first 4 Strata-Cut artists met.

We are growing this, One Slice at a Time.

Strata-cut is a Sub-gender of Claymation, Clay animation or Stop Motion. In this talk, we speak about the future of the Strata-cut and How fundamental it is ...

(7/13)🇬🇧Today I start to show you my Medieval Project. One of the biggest we ever made. From 2022, It took us up to 6 months to complete.
————.Mycoloth—-The Lorekeeper Project.——————
Just to clarify: This was a project with 12 animations.
12 Loops.
We did 8 Loops in Stop Motion and 4 of them with 2D Animation.
This animation you are watching is one of those 8 animations, This one is “Mycoloth”.
The song for that one talks about a character infected by a mushroom. A fantasy monster that we wanted to express with a morphing.
(I mostly improvised this animation on set with a bunch of clay and the animatic and final monster made by )
I like the results but I have to admit I realized the animation happens too fast. Sometimes I wish to be able to re-make this one with a slower rhythm and longer morphing.
I believe it deserves more work.
This first animation was made at my parent’s home, my very first studio.
During that year, we had moved to 3 different Studios.
The first 2 animations were made at my parent’s home, The 6 in-between (+A Pull&Bear Project and the “I am a Ball Winter”) were made in a Rented Garage and the last 2 animations (Lich Bane & Bog Creature) were recorded on “Cala Crancs” (My Uncle’s house)
It was crazy to move the studio so many times in 2022, but I have to admit It was a very exciting year. Every time we moved, our studio was bigger and the feeling of growth too.
Sometimes I miss that feeling. That Caos, Happiness and Desperation you feel when growing.

Do you know where the word “Morphing” really comes from?

Oh, yes.

(4/13) I like to create Sexy Reels of my animations.—-This is not a Re-Post.—- This is a Re-Edit of the XBOX project 1 (The Strata-cut I did for them)
We call “Sexy Reel” to those videos that are Re-edits or Edits with Making of footage where the intention of the edit is to show many things in a very short time.
And Making it “Sexy” or “Cool”.
That pushes the algorithm if people feel the sexiness.
Can you feel it?

(3/13) Yesterday I told you about my most successful animation ever.
This animation was published 2 weeks earlier.
Before the “I am a Ball” hit 17 Million, this one hit half Million.
We were so excited back then.
That was my first animation with
In fact, we created this animation as an excuse for Aitor to learn how to do a Stop-motion Character.
This was his first Stopmo puppet ever.

——-.3.-The “Aurora - A Cure for Me” Animation (Personal Project).———

We did this animation back in 2021 when this song was released.
I just discovered Aurora on a Sunday because of a YouTube recommendation.
I wasn’t sure If I liked it at the beginning.
I don’t know… I will play one more song.
After a Whole day listening to his music, I was sure.
I was in love with his music.
I was… Obsessed.
And few days after she released that Song: “A Cure For Me”
It was amazing, and the music video had a very clear artistic direction.
I immediately imagine a stopmo puppet with that mask.
We had to do it. And did so.
The day we published the animation I asked my audience to tag in the comments.
They helped me a lot, but she never saw it.
I still dreaming of doing a Music Video for Aurora.
The animation was published on Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube Shorts.
Nothing more.

Except that… ONE YEAR Later, the song became viral on TikTok.
One YEAR LATER!!
And somehow people came to YouTube and found my video.
It had just a few thousand views on YouTube shorts and one day, suddenly, It had one million views.
I remember a Hater saying: “All this effort only for a TikTok song?”
Well, one year before, it wasn’t just a TikTok song.
It was my favourite song.
PD: The people tagged on the YouTube comments too, And I think that is beautiful.
——-.Feel free to tag her on this post too.—-

(2/13) This is the most successful animation I ever did. Every time I post it it gets more viral. This is his STORY:

—-2.-The “I am a Ball” Animation (Personal Project).——
Model maker assistant:

One day, I had a dream with this script.
Somehow, this idea came to my mind.
I can’t describe how.
But it came to my mind and I knew I would do it.
Even when I explained it to people, they laughed.
But I had a “Problem”; People on Tiktok were making fun of my “Spanish Accent”. (Or as they said my “Spañolete accent” or “Spanglish”)
So I decided to ask a British friend to record that voice for me.
This guy was Luca.
The singer of the
This guy was a very charismatic friend from the UK.
To give you an idea, Luca was a guy with long hair, a beard, and always with a smile on his face.
And a pretty girl by his side.
Normally the most pretty one.
He is also the guy in the “Spinning” dick animation. (Scroll down to find it)
I don’t know if he has that big “package”, but I know he used to get naked on shows.
He is a very emotional person, as you can imagine.
His band was going to record a new album, and Luca recorded the vocals in that Studio.
He made different takes, but somehow that one was the funniest.
Also, all the guys from the band laugh at the end of the record.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a guy saying “It sounds like a Chicken”
After I published it for the first time, It hit 17 Million Views on Tiktok back in 2021.
After that, I had my first deal with a Big Brand.
That year I animated for Pull and Bear and Amazon Prime.
All because I had a dream.
Do you have dreams too?

(1/13)-I have more Followers now than I could imagine 3 years ago.---To all my new people, I would like to Re-Post some of my Favourite works--- 1.- The Trippy Treats Project.--
Client:
Music by
This project is almost one year old. When I took that project, I was alone.
I mean, Aitor wasn't working with me anymore.
And I was alone at my studio on my Ouncle's Garage.
It was cold and I felt quite lonely that time.
But this project gave me the chance to experiment.
To feel good working alone again and doing what I wanted.
I did Stratcuts, I did new character designs, and I did morphings.
And Definitely, I did everything I wanted to do.
I love the results even If it didn't go viral.
Sometimes a work is only special to you.
And that's ok.
Sometimes a day is important in your life only for you.
And that's ok.

Este proyecto tiene casi un año. Cuando tomé ese proyecto, estaba solo.
Quiero decir, Aitor ya no trabajaba conmigo.
Y estaba solo en mi estudio en el garaje de mi tío.
Hacía frío y me sentía bastante solo en ese momento.
Pero este proyecto me dio la oportunidad de experimentar.
Sentirme bien trabajando solo nuevamente y haciendo lo que quería.
Hice cortes estratégicos, diseñé nuevos personajes y hice morphings.
Y definitivamente, hice todo lo que quería hacer.
Amo los resultados, incluso si no se volvió viral.
A veces, una obra solo es especial para ti.
Y está bien.
A veces, un día es importante en tu vida solo para ti.
Y está bien.
