The Fox and the Film

Little Fox Films hails from Bangalore, India, but their stop motion videos are making their mark internationally, even though they’ve only been in business for just over a month.

The stop motion and film studio is made up of three film superstars in their early twenties – Nihal Anand (director and animator), Joanna Davala (artist and animator) and Josh Victor (business and finance) – but they have enough stop motion passion to fuel a much larger company. Their portfolio includes wedding invites, commercials, music videos and whatever else they can get their hands on, as long as they can use iStopMotion to help them get the job done.

“So far, we’ve only used iStopMotion for our projects,” says Nihal. “I started using it when I did a 3-day stop motion course in London two years ago. They used the software there, and I realized how easy it made the entire process. To just start out, I felt iStopMotion was very reasonably priced and had all the features I needed to make amazing films.”

And so far, the films have been amazing. The Little Fox team has worked on a small cooking series, a music video and a dream sequence for a Russian children’s theater production, along with some cool promos for the studio itself.

Their go-to camera is a Canon 5D Mark II, and iStopMotion’s new DSLR live preview compatibility has been essential to their workflow.

“It’s something we can’t work without,” Nihal says. “The camera works really well with the software and allows us to make some really high-quality stop motion. We had a few small issues getting it to work smoothly in the beginning, but the Boinx team was prompt in their response to all our questions and we got it running for all our projects!”

Little Fox Films is currently working on a commercial video for a discount coupon book, which they’ve thoroughly enjoyed, and they’re planning a small Christmas video of their own. As for other future projects, they’re willing to go as far outside of the box as they need to.

“The best thing about stop motion is bringing inanimate things to life,” Nihal says. “It’s just like magic.”
