ABOUT MEAnimation as a CareerJack Nop began professionally animating in 2015, and is continuing working in both CG and stop-motion animation. He graduated CalArts in the Experimental Animation program in 2022, and won several awards for his stop-motion film "Absolution, Parsin", including the Ray Harryhausen Award as pictured.
As an artist, I hope to spread a community style that encourages kindness, helpfulness, and friendly collaboration by creating all kinds of animations, pictures, and stories for children and adults alike. As an animator, I wish to be part of pushing the boundaries of stop-motion and CG, to see their integration into more media, such as television, advertising, and films. I want to share my love for the craft with others, and I want to have fun doing it.

Behind the Scenes
Start to finish, animation takes a wide set of skills, including writing, storyboarding, fabrication, modeling, puppetry, lighting, cinematography, VFX, and many many more. Among all of these, however, animation stands out as my favorite part in both CG and stop-motion. It's where I've put years of my life into developing, and it's where I get the most excitement from the challenges I face. The whole process of producing an animation is important, but animating is where I thrive.
