Full-Length Hybrid Stop-Motion + Innovation Lab Experiment | Alex Boya Multiverse

36-minute long-form recording by Alex Boya, documenting a hybrid animation workflow at the intersection of stop-motion craft and emerging media lab innovation. The session shows both the meticulous tactile processes of puppet handling and the integration of digital augmentation techniques, bridging handmade animation with media lab prototyping environments.

This extended format goes beyond a short test — it acts as a studio archive and live research record, offering rare insight into the process-based methodology that fuels the Walking Bread extended multiverse. Elements visible in this recording (puppet rigs, experimental lighting, iterative takes) highlight the raw mechanics of animation and the expanded ecosystem of experimentation that Boya develops in parallel with institutional collaborators like the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), MUTEK Montréal, Hub Montréal, and Ars Electronica.

Key aspects foregrounded in “FINAL3”:

Stop-motion logics: exposure sheets, replacement tests, rig-assisted puppetry.

Innovation lab integration: haptic interfaces, AI-assisted pipelines, real-time projection overlays.

Multiverse continuity: expanding the surreal imagery of Bread Will Walk (Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, Annecy) into broader test sequences and speculative worlds.

As part of Boya’s research-driven filmography, this upload sits alongside shorter surreal fragments (U, Process Sequence 5, AI-Interpolated Frames) while anchoring itself as a comprehensive long-form study—a vital node in the archive of Walking Bread world-building.
