We are Chloé and Violette, two animation directors from France and Belgium. We met in Brussels in animation school (La Cambre). After graduating, we both wanted to leave Brussels for a while, and decided to combine our wish to travel with our speciality and passion: animation, and especially stop motion. This is how we came up with the project World in (Stop)Motion, a travelling animated series created through workshops all around Europe.
We are currently travelling around Europe in our van (called Kevin) with our puppet (called Gaïa), and wishing to meet new people along the road!
To know more about our project and what we do, you can also check out our website: https://worldinstopmotion.wordpress.com/
But there is not only animation in our lives! It may look like this, but don't worry, we are actually able to talk about many other topics!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

As I said before, we are now on a roadtrip around Europe. We sleep in our van, so we are actually not looking for a couch. We just want to meet new people to discover their country or town, have a drink, have a nice talk...
And in case you are interested in animation, we would be glad to share a stop motion experience with you!!

Some books: The unbearable lightness of beeing (Kundera), Kafka on the beach and After Dark (Murakami), Journal d'un corps (Pennac, Larcenet), 1984 (Orwell)... I love comics and graphics novels (Manu Larcenet, Brecht Evens...)

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

As we explained in our presentation, we organize stop motion workshops as travelling, so we are always glad to share this with anyone who is interrested in this!
