SoDaze's Strathberry craft films animate real thread, tools and hardware -- no digital generation

Dragonframe's showcase blog featured SoDaze Studios' two commissioned films for Scottish leather brand Strathberry, "Crafting the Mosaic Nano" and "Crafting the Mini Tote," which animate the brand's actual embroidery thread, gold hardware, leather-working tools (a Patacabra and an edge-painting wheel) and finished bags frame by frame, with no digital generation. Animator Alina Golovlova described the embroidery shot as the hardest: every stitch was left loose, then re-tightened by a millimetre under the fabric with tweezers, one frame at a time -- six days of work for about 1.5 seconds of the roughly 2.5-second combined runtime. A clean, recent worked example of object animation's core discipline -- treating a found or existing object as the performer instead of building a puppet -- now folded into the object-animation Wiki concept.
