THE STOP MOTION ANIMATION HOW TO PAGE
/IMAGINE with Jen Series
The Story:
Jen is a sassy and comical stop motion film maker who lives in a tiny isolated studio. She toils away every day working on her films, wonders if she can succeed as a film maker.
The series will consist of Jen's daily experiences creating her films, as well as different segments. The segments will reveal stop motion and clay animation history, interview real stop motion film makers and she will have different surprise guests stop in too.
Jen lives alone with her jumping spider sidekick Hop. Hop likes to keep the flies in check that annoy her while she works, plus he's a practical joker. Hop especially likes to scare her and tease her as Jen can get a little too into her work at times.
The Film Series
Starting in Spring of 2023, Marc began building Jen and her stop motion studio into a real world animated series. The first episode will be out sometime later this year and several short stories are already written.
Marc has decided to use Dahlia V. for voice acting, she's really a great actress and already did a recording for the first episode!

Marc will still be releasing all the behind the scenes videos for the project on the new dedicated YouTube channel two weeks after they are made. You can also ask questions about the project in our Discord that is set up for the project here.
Real World Chatbot:
I made Jen into two sophisticated chat bots to help animators.What can she do? If you want to create a story together, or ask her what is in her studio, she can explain what she's been working on.
Find Jen on her Convai page by clicking here. This is a more technical bot that can help you with technical stop motion questions.
If you have a Character.ai account, you can talk to a separate bot of Jen by clicking here. Her Character.ai personality is a lot more fun to talk to, but wasn't trained on lots of how-to info. Let me know your thoughts if you give them a try. I plan to work more on them after the first film is released.
