About Res Animata
Res Animata is more than an animation studio—it’s a creative hub where ideas are brought to life, one frame at a time. Their work explores meaningful themes through handcrafted storytelling, with a focus on social and personal growth.
Last year, they launched and led the Stop Motion Master’s Programme at Milan’s prestigious Scuola del Fumetto. This year-long course covered every aspect of stop-motion production—from concept design and set building to puppet-making and post-production.
The final result? Two original short films, made by students with professional support and custom soundtracks.
