Yasmina El Khatib

I am a stop-motion fabricator and animator with a strong interest in surrealism and horror.

I love making things and experimenting with materials and mediums to create interesting characters and atmospheres.

Masquerade of the Dead

Plasticine puppets I made during my quest to improve my costume making skills. Inspired by Iron Maiden's "Dance of Death", I created this Victorian skeletal couple to turn into puppets.

Mirror Mirror

Still from my short film Mirror Mirror. The film (and this shot in particular) was inspired by Magritte's "Not to be Reproduced" (1937).

Still from Mirror Mirror

Still from my horror short film Mirror Mirror, which I did everything but the music for. I wanted to challenge myself and experience every stage of making a stop-motion short film.

The Spiders

One of three 3D printed spider puppets I made for Mirror Mirror.

Arnaud

A snail-man hybrid character I created to further experiment with puppet and costume making. Made with latex painted foam.

Magik Curtain

A scene from the collaborative short film Magik Curtain which I co-directed, made props and costumes for, as well as made and animated Dante, the puppet on the right.
