Super excited for the AMA this week with the legendary VFX / Stop Motion Wizard Kevin Parry.
Kevin Parry is a stop-motion animator, visual effects artist, and filmmaker best known for his playful, mind-bending video illusions that blend practical craft with digital wizardry. Starting his career in feature animation, Kevin worked as an animator at LAIKA on acclaimed films including Kubo and the Two Strings, The Boxtrolls, and Missing Link, where he honed his instinct for movement, timing, and physical storytelling.
After transitioning from studio animation to independent filmmaking, Kevin began creating short-form visual tricks with clever perspective gags, seamless transformations, and practical illusions executed with stop-motion precision. His unique blend of handmade effects and subtle VFX quickly gained massive attention online, earning him millions of followers across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Kevin’s work sits at the intersection of technical skill and whimsical creativity. He meticulously plans each illusion with storyboards, practical rigs, and animation tests, then ties it all together with minimal but precise compositing. The result is a signature style that feels tactile, surprising, and delightfully low-tech—even when powered by expert craftsmanship.
In addition to his personal projects, Kevin collaborates with major brands to create inventive ads, tutorials, and promotional films that capture his signature sense of play. Through behind-the-scenes breakdowns, he also shares process insights that inspire aspiring animators, VFX artists, and anyone curious about the magic behind the camera.
Today, Kevin Parry is recognized as one of the most inventive voices in modern stop-motion and VFX—an artist who turns everyday moments into imaginative, physics-defying visual stories loved by audiences around the world.
