About The Archive
In Summer 2025, Pratt Institute’s School of Digital Arts and Animation and the Pratt Institute, Brooklyn Library presented the second biennial exhibition, Stop-Mo Show, highlighting works created by students, artists, and makers connected to Robert Lyons’s stop-motion courses.
Stop-mo Capsule extends that exhibition into a digital archive. It brings together selected short films, puppets, props, sketches, scripts, planning materials, 2D hand-drawn animation, editing references, and other process records to show how the works are imagined, built, and brought to life.
