Lone Room Studio announces that the animated stop motion short film For the Moment is going on indefinite hiatus. There have been issues with lack of clarity on visuals and story across the years. The artist and animator Roo Nelo will switch focus to smaller scale projects that he has been developing on the side.

Early teaser for the opening shot of For the Moment. This was during one of the scrapped versions of the script. Stop motion puppets The Traveler and The Beast are flying amongst clouds on set.

A little update on Instagram regarding my stop motion short film For the Moment.

Loved this article. Any chance you’d know the first time needle felting was used in stop motion? It seems to have exploded in popularity in recent years but I’ve always wondered who tried it first.

A bit late for #IndieAnimationDay, but I posted the full demo tracks for an early version of For the Moment. These original songs were used as inspiration while fleshing out the script. youtu.be/maco-H552Ew

Hi #IndieAnimationDay. I’m creating a stop motion short film titled For the Moment. If you like calming iyashikei anime with a bit of fantasy, feel free to follow the project. Below is a lighting test shot from an early version of the film. #stopmotion #shortfilm #supportindieanimation #indie_anime

Various colors of wool for needle felting stop motion puppets. #art #puppet #woolfelt #indieanimation #shortfilm

All the wool arrived, so I can finally start the puppet fabrication process. I’ll record it for the YouTube channel if anyone is curious how needle felt puppets are made for short films. #stopmotion #animation #needlefelting

There’s a warmth that needle felt stop motion puppets have. The team at See Creature used it to the fullest and knocked it out of the park with this one. #stopmotion #animation #needlefelting #art

I’m so incredibly drawn to animation that takes its time like this.

Cleaning and repairing armatures for the short film. These ball and socket armatures are for the main characters The Traveler and The Beast. I’ve been chipping away at their redesigns and hope to reveal them soon. #stopmotion #animation #indieanimation #art #shortfilm

A rough run and camera movement test with The Traveler puppet. This was the first test for the props as well.

The time consuming process of animating a blink in stop motion. In this old test of The Traveler, eyelids of different shapes were used in replacement animation to simulate a blink. #indieanimation #indie_anime #stopmotion #shortfilm

Thank you for the kind words! ☺️

Thank you for the support!

It’s #IndieAnimationDay. I’m solo developing a stop motion short film called For the Moment. This is a BTS shot for an old scene test. If you like iyashikei anime mixed with a bit of adventure, feel free to follow the film’s progress. #stopmotion #shortfilm #supportindieanimation #indie_anime

It’s Indie Animation Day. I’m working on a stop motion animation short film called For the Moment. It’s a slice of life adventure across floating islands in the sky. Here’s very early art compared to a test shot from the opening sequence. #indieanimationday #stopmotion #shortfilm

It always feels good whenever Animation Obsessive shows love to stop motion.

This is a very old run cycle test of The Beast. It was my first time animating a quadruped. The puppet had short legs at the time, which I lengthened later on. #stopmotion #animation #indieanimation
