Yamination are an award winning animation company, specialising in stop-motion animation; moulding tradition, craft and innovation, that brings all things in-animate, to life, covering all aspects of design and production within its walls, thriving on creativity and ingenuity. Oh, and plasticine. lots and lots of plasticine.

Taking its name from yam yam, a term referring to ‘black country’ folk and their crazily cryptic vernacular, the studios are in fact the embodiment of said, crazy; a collective of clinical craftsfolk, aka. the yam fam, with (multi-award winning director, producer and yam yam) founder Drew Roper and (Native Norwegian design guru) Juliet Carmen Teksnes, at the helm.

Since its creation in 2009, Yamination has been prolific fabricating, developing and producing an array of shorts, pilots, TV commercials and promos across a multitude of genres and platforms for clients that include Disney, Coca-Cola, Greenpeace, and Roald Dahl, to name but a few.

We are tinkerers, problem-solvers, storytellers, imagineers, artists, fabricators, seamstresses, sculptors, painters, technicians, electricians, carpenters, cinematographers, editors, attention to detailers, biscuit eaters, but above all else, lovers of our creative craft.
