Trikk 17

Trikk 17 are an award winning animation company in Hamburg, Germany who specialise in all areas of animation, but they started out as a stop motion company in 2001. They work with a broad range of animation, including stop-motion, cel animation, cut-out animation, CGI and live action puppets. They produce commissioned work as well as original content for TV, cinema, internet and mobile devices, and have a wide range of national and international partners. 
I really like their stop motion work, their characters move really well and they are really good at telling a story. I think all their work is beautiful and well thought out and their style of puppets is similar to what I like/ would like to make.
