Our Director's Manual shows you how to give your tazz characters facial expressions

Animation is all about moving your actors in small steps around your set and taking photographs of them for each movement.

It could be drawings, but using plasticine and our ANIMATAZZ EASY-ACTION figure, you can get animating your own characters in no time at all and you don’t need to be a good drawer.

I’ll Tell me Ma

Children from Belfast turned this traditional Belfast skipping song into a short animated movie.
