Embracing the idea that I could shape my own path led me to establish Loud Cloud Animation Studio in Oklahoma City. Here, I’ve built a life where I can do work that matters to me, surrounded by a supportive community of talented artists. My success isn’t about fitting into an industry mold; it’s about living authentically and pursuing my passion.

Operating out of Oklahoma City means we enjoy some serious advantages, starting with the cost of living. Let’s be real—there’s no way we could afford a space like this in LA or Oregon. The savings on rent alone allow us to invest more in what matters most: creativity, innovation, and our people. Lower overhead means we can offer competitive pricing to our clients without sacrificing quality. It also means we can pour more resources into refining our craft, ensuring that every frame we create is as polished and unique as the last.

One of the coolest things about stop-motion is that it creates a deeper emotional connection. Our characters aren’t just pixels; they’re physical creations you can hold (though please don’t—those puppets are fragile!). This physicality adds a level of realism that’s hard to match with digital animation, making each story more engaging and memorable.
