Taymations is the moniker used by Taylor Wells, a Chicago based Stop-Motion Animator. My animations are often comedic and dark, and are heavily inspired by 90’s cartoons. I specialize in Claymation, body animation and sound design and love combining mediums and techniques.

A commission for @squanchgames hilariously addicting game “Trover Saves the Universe.” . Really proud of this one! If you’ve played the game this may make a lot more sense (play it!) but I hope you still find it funny. . This was a joy to make and a big challenge for me. Creating the puppets, sets, props, etc was a feat in itself and I want to thank @yvymorales for helping me through the whole process. . Have you played it? What’s your favorite part of this animation? . . #troversavestheuniverse #trover #ps4 #vr #squanch #squanchgames #squanchy #jackfrost #easteregg #gameeastereggs #oddheader #stopmotion #stopmo #claymation #claymations #stopmotionanimation #framebyframeanimation #animatorsofinstagram #stopframeanimation #stopframe #stopmotionlovers #stopmotion_community #ilovestopmotion #characteranimation #dragonframe . @stopmolovers @stopmotion_community @stopmotionerds @squanchgames @trovergame
