Made for

The stories Tweenhouse tells.

Key drawings

Four things
Tweenhouse does well.

Stickman stories

A few lines.
A whole performance.

Pose a stick figure with real joints, then pick a walk, a point, a shrug or a cheer from the action library.

Faces, props and speech bubbles turn simple lines into a storyteller.

Whiteboard

Drawn by hand,
line by line.

A hand traces every drawing and word onto the board, in the order you choose.

Color floods in after the outline, and the camera glides on to the next idea.

Lip sync

Any voice.
A face to match.

Mouths shape every sound of the narration, automatically.

Blinks, glances and head turns keep characters alive between lines.

Rigs and frames

Rig it,
or draw it.

Give a character bones and it bends naturally, with feet that stay planted as it moves.

Or draw every frame, with onion skins showing the frames around you.

What's inside

A character studio in one place.
