About us
Thinking fast, being flexible and always having a good attitude.
Hi, we're See Creature.
We live and breathe animation.
We’re Sylvie & Dale, a husband and wife team who met working in stop motion television series. We fell in love with each other and with animation. We founded See Creature in 2011 with the belief that anything can be animated.
We love stop motion because it infuses the animation with a human quality, making it feel more alive and genuine. The subtle nuances and slight imperfections in each frame contribute to the overall warmth and humanity that we all need.
But what’s most important for us is choosing the right medium for the right message. We embrace mixing the hand-crafted, traditional animation techniques with the latest digital technologies and software.
Whether it's abstract concepts, narrative ideas, personal projects, advertising, or museum pieces; we are here to provide the unique visuals your project needs through a wholesome work experience.
Animation is a team sport and we pride ourselves on creating healthy productions where communication, clarity, and trust allow the creative process to flow.
Driven to foster the local and international stop motion community we started See Learn Academy in 2020, an online education platform.
"We loved their work, the way they run things and their easy 'can-do' approach. These are good people, who really care about their work."
"The team at See Creature displays a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. They approach their projects with enthusiasm and a solution mindset, consistently maintaining a positive and collaborative atmosphere."
What else do we do?
SPEAKING
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share our passion and knowledge through speaking engagements. We wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of these events, as they provide a platform to inspire, educate, and empower others in the animation industry.
Guided by John F. Kennedy's timeless quote, "A rising tide raises all boats," we are driven to contribute to the collective growth and success of our industry. By articulating complex concepts with enthusiasm and sharing valuable insights, we aim to equip others with the tools they need to excel in their animation endeavours.
Whether we speak together or individually, our dynamic presentations are infused with energy and a genuine desire to benefit others. We have spoken at numerous events such as: Siggraph, TAAFI, AutoDesk, Concordia University, Montreal in Motion, and multiple film festivals such as Annecy. Together, let's elevate the entire animation community.
JURY
Making a film is challenging. It requires a deep emotional connection, sharing unique personal perspectives, ideas, and stories. Each film deserves to be evaluated on its own merits, setting aside personal preferences and biases.
Having worked in the industry for over 20 years, we have gained invaluable experience across a wide range of projects from feature films to shorts, advertisements to series, documentaries to music videos. This has given us a comprehensive understanding of different genres, styles, techniques and the value of story. Being part of a jury is an incredible opportunity to give back to the industry and help aspiring filmmakers grow.
We genuinely believe that being on a jury allows us to bring our passion, expertise, and open-mindedness to the table. We look forward to discovering exceptional films, engaging in insightful discussions, and celebrating the creativity and dedication of filmmakers.
