Stop Motion Animation
Stop-Motion Director | Puppet Animation Mentor | Art Director
I’m an Animation Director specializing in stop-motion, puppet animation, character design, and art direction. Since 2020, I’ve led Babui Tomar Kureghor – Invisual Studio, directing acclaimed music videos such as All Is Full, New, Shironamhin – Keno, and the Studio Tokai – Bliss campaign.
My work bridges concept and craft, transforming handmade materials into cinematic storytelling. From sculpting and set design to frame-by-frame animation, I strive to turn ideas into emotion — one frame at a time.
As a Stop-Motion instructor, I now share that creative process with emerging artists, teaching them how to combine traditional craftsmanship with storytelling discipline and professional production techniques. My passion lies in building worlds by hand and inspiring others to do the same.
