Alisa Stern

Hullo! I'm an animation artist living and working in New York City. My specialties include cut-out animation, AfterEffects, Photoshop, and stop-motion. In the past few years I've worked on many high profile projects in a variety of capacities. I designed backgrounds for Nick Jr's "The Wonder Pets," made props for the world-famous Macy's Christmas Windows, and directed a marionette puppet music video that was short-listed for a Grammy. I've also designed, animated, and created puppets for many commercial and industrial animation and video projects. Please have a look around and check out my animation and portfolio. Thanks for dropping by!

9/8/11	I updated my animation reel in preparation for my annual pilgrimage to the Ottawa International Animation Festival. See ya there!
8/11/11	I directed, designed, and animated this promo for the new Violight SLIM toothbrush, which will be available at a store near you soon! I took photos of the toothbrushes from many angles then composited and animated them in AfterEffects. The music was composed by John Pahmer.
6/8/11	I animated about half of this music video for Vetiver. I also assisted with the photo shoot all over scenic Brooklyn. The video was directed by London Squared. Check it out at the Ottawa International Animation Festival where it will be in competition in September.
8/15/10	Just wrapped this spot for Best Western after a wonderfully insane time working on it. It's a combination of hand-drawn, stop-motion and cut-outs composited in AfterEffects. It was produced for Nick@Nite.
3/14/10	"Come Back Down," the J.Viewz music video I directed with help from Peter Ahern, Matt Witham and Jeff Wallenhorst recently premiered at Spinner.com. We made all the sets and puppets from scratch in a week and a half!
