Catalogue: Community sweep (Cartoon Brew, Aardman/AWN/Annecy leads, r/StopMotion, escribiendocine, Stop Motion Magazine studio directory) surfaced nine leads -- Insectario, Wildwood, Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, Let's Go Timmy!, the Aardman x Pokemon project, Into the Forest, Please, Cartoon Physics, and I Am Frankelda -- and all nine were already fully credited in the catalogue from prior runs, so chain-enrichment found no gaps to fill. Studio-works mining added one new work: Mighty Oak's short 'Henrietta Finds a Nest' (2024, dir. Hannah McNally), with 19 crew credits (writers, producers, animators, sound) sourced from the film's official site. Loud Cloud Animation Studio and Knuckles Animation Studio were rechecked and confirmed to have no new stop-motion narrative work in scope (commercial/branded content and a 2D-animation installation, respectively). A general batch pass over 10 obscure TMDB-import stub shorts (Crossed Destinies, Windowgazer, Apple Boy, etc.) found no verifiable director/studio facts for any of them -- left as 'Research needed' per the no-invent-data rule. · Wiki: Crochet and yarn as a puppet skin material, Camera and animator access on miniature sets, Camera movement in stop motion, Depth of field in miniature cinematography, Forced perspective for miniature sets, Lens breathing in stop-motion cinematography, Lighting miniatures: motivation, movement and continuity
