STUDIO
AN INDEPENDENT EUROPEAN
STOP MOTION ART STUDIO.
WoodenMood is creatively led by Patricia Ortiz Martínez, a stop-motion filmmaker and creative director with a multidisciplinary background in directing, cinematography, art direction and production design.
The studio grew from years of experience developing characters, sets and physical environments for stop-motion productions across Europe. This combination of creative direction and practical making shapes WoodenMood's approach to every project: understanding the story first, then giving it a coherent physical form.
Since its foundation, WoodenMood has collaborated with filmmakers, animation studios and creative partners on international productions across Europe. The studio has contributed to films presented at the Berlinale, awarded by the Czech Film and Television Academy, and nominated for the European Film Awards.
Each collaboration is shaped by the needs of the project, combining a clear artistic vision with the patience, precision and production expertise that stop-motion animation demands.
