On every last Saturday of each month in 2025, we invite the public and individuals interested in stop-motion and the animation process to attend our Animation Jams. Each month a different professional animator will be on site at MOSMA HQ working on a short piece of animation and we want to invite you to meet the animators, other stop-motion industry professionals, ask questions and network.
Join us as we explore ideas, materials, discuss and focus on all things stop-motion animation.
THIS MONTH’S GUEST ANIMATOR: BEN MIGNOLA
My name is Ben Mignola and I am a stop-motion animator currently based in Portland, OR. I grew up in San Francisco in the early 2000's and was heavily inspired by the stop motion movies of the time. I began teaching myself how to animate when I was 7 and that passion has grown into a full time career over the past 5 years.

We’re building a home for stop motion.
Welcome to the Museum of Stop Motion Animation,
a place of education and wonder.
We dream of a space that connects the history of stop motion to its role in today’s film industry.
Make this dream a reality.
With your support, we will honor stop motion’s history through exhibition and education.
