On a complete and utter whim , I entered into the Project Yellow Light scholarship competition that is all about bringing young voices, creativity, and safe driving into one brilliant blender and sloshing out something quite amazing, with gooey gooey goodness and heart at the center of it all.With the help of some paper cut-out animation on a multi-plane, I managed to snag the College level Advertisement spot, which was aired on over 1,000 television networks across the U.S.

Fun little personal project that tries to answer the question 11 year old me once asked: Did Ramones actually hire a sheep to do the backing vocals on “I Wanna Be Sedated”?[entire puppet, set, and props all made by me (as well as voiced by yours truly) using scraps and old clay I had lying around]

My first fully-fledged short and additional final project for Aardman Academy’s Stop Motion 2 Course.[more details on the process/context in the video’s description on YT]
Semi-personal project made for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio animation contest, hosted in 2023 to drum up excitement for the film’s debut. Mr. Del Toro posed a very simple question: “What does Pinocchio mean to you?”I know he meant it in a more formatting/medium sense,
but I couldn't ignore the gears starting to turn!

RESUME
ABOUT / CONTACT
Ollo!The name’s Matilda (she/her), but my friends call me Tilly. Currently based in Italy and on the cusp of college, though I tend to go wherever the work takes me.I have been fortunate enough to have traveled and absorbed every continent except Antarctica over the course of my upbringing and it has shown me the good, bad, and the very ugly we are capable of, which in turn bleeds into my work. I am not afraid to put in the hours, get my hands grimy, and work as a team to make something beautiful, impactful, to scare the comfortable.I am “simply” a walking, talking museum of everyone and everything I have ever loved, a product of one badass single mom and too many DVD movies, and stop-motion just so happens to be one of the many ways I display it all.Sometimes I think the only way at the end of the day.
