Welcome to
Frame by Frame!
We have currently closed submissions for our upcoming workshop series scheduled for August. We look forward to sharing the amazing results soon to come!
Who Are We
Frame by Frame is a Toronto-based organization with a passion for stop motion animation. Stop motion animation is a versatile medium that blends various art forms to foster creative expression. Our mission is to make this unique art-form accessible to participants of all abilities, offering flexible and adaptive programming.
Workshop Series
This August, we are initiating a community-based collaborative project, inviting five emerging to mid-career artists from the Disabled community to explore the potential of stop motion animation. Each participant will be paired with a professional animator for this exploration. Prior experience in stop motion is not a prerequisite, just your passion for art.
Join our series of four workshops on Tuesday evenings - August 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd, 2023, from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
NOTE: The application is now closed.
Each participant will receive an honorarium of $400 for their participation in the series.
The first session will be online, and the next three will be in-person at the Tangled Arts gallery in the 401 Richmond building.
Please apply by July 20th @11:59pm. Applicants will be notified by
July 24th.
NOTE: The application is now closed.

Cristal Buemi
Cristal is a Puerto Rican Canadian Latinx multimedia artist. Although, stop motion animation really has her heart. Her work is nature and texture based, while pushing frame-by-frame boundaries by exploring the materiality and inherent beauty found in the minutia. In her spare time, you can find Cristal usually outside in the sun gathering found materials while listening to reggaeton.
Kyla Atlas
Kyla is a stop motion animator and director. She is owner of See You On The Moon, a Toronto based stop motion production company.
