STOP MOTION
Evan Koehne
Art Director
& Art Dept Manager
With over a decade of experience in Stop Motion Art Departments, I am an expert in Set Builds, Model Making and Set Dressing. As an Art Director, I love nothing more than the challange of bringing a miniature world to life. There is something so charming about a miniature world and tiny puppets creating the illusion of another world, one frame at a time. I consider myself lucky that I have made a career by being part of this inredible art form since 2013.
FEATURED PROJECTS
Sandy’s Country Christmas
As the Art Department Manager for Spongebob & Sandy’s Country Christmas, I had the incredible opportunity to shape the visual direction of this whimsical holiday special. Collaborating closely with our talented Production Designer, I supervised the builders to create a vibrant and enchanting world that truly captured the holiday spirit. Each meticulously crafted set and character brought our vision to life, blending delightful artistry with the beloved charm of Spongebob and Sandy, and ensuring that every frame radiated warmth and joy for audiences to enjoy during the festive season.
Shape Island
Join the delightful adventures on Shape Island, where three charming shapes—Circle, Square, and Triangle—explore friendship and creativity in a vibrant world. Each episode is a journey filled with colorful lessons, imaginative play, and the joy of discovering that differences make friendships even more special.
Marcel the Shell
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On is an enchanting exploration of identity and connection, following the endearing journey of a little shell seeking his place in the world. This stop motion film invites audiences to witness Marcel’s charming adventures as he navigates life’s big questions through a uniquely tiny lens.
Art Direction
& Art Department Management
As a stop motion art director, I embrace the enchanting fusion of storytelling and visual artistry, bringing my unique vision to life in projects like The Patrick Star Show and the avant-garde opera by Philip Glass. My approach weaves together whimsical narratives and innovative techniques, inviting audiences to explore richly crafted worlds brimming with humor and emotion.
Miniature Builds
Set Builds, Model-Making, Prop Fabrication
Set Builds, Miniature Models, and Set Dressing: the skills of an artist in stop motion art department! I’ve developed my many skills, hand-crafting minature worlds with care and precision.
Set Dressing
The art of composing set and props to camera for a compelling visual image is what the skills of a set dresser brings to the table. In the unique wolrd of stop motion, one inch to the left or right can make all the difference!
