Stop motion & product animation
Little worlds built around your product, with handmade sets, practical effects and frame-by-frame animation. Everything starts with the real thing and ends somewhere wonderfully unexpected.

What I make
Pick your kind of play
From one tiny movement to a whole handmade world, each option starts with your real product.
Stop motion animation
from $500You mean like Rudolph? Sort of. Your real product moves through a set one tiny step at a time, creating something playful, tactile and delightfully unreal.
Think of a Live Photo on your phone: one small, satisfying movement in ten frames or fewer. More playful than a still, without the full production of stop motion.
Product photography
from $500Bright, carefully styled images that keep every eye on the thing you are selling. Shot in the studio, or on-site when your space is part of the story.
Full brand refresh
$1,000Photography and animation made together, so a new launch or a well-loved brand gets one colorful, consistent world.
The studio is one person
I'm Marissa, and I make products come out to play
Every effect happens for real in my Pensacola studio. I build the set, place the product, move it a little, take a picture and do it all again until a few hundred photographs become a few seconds of motion.
plfx is Palafox, the street that runs through downtown Pensacola. It is pronounced pal-a-fox, not spelled out. The studio is here, but the little worlds travel well.
How it works
How a little world gets made
A simple three-step trip from your idea to the finished work.
Choose the adventure
Tell me about your product, who needs to notice it and where the finished work will appear. Pick a package, or ask for a custom quote if you have a bigger idea.
Send in the star
The real product comes to my Pensacola studio, so we can work together wherever your brand is based. If your own space belongs in the story, I can come to you instead.
Watch its world appear
I build the set, make every effect happen for real and move the product frame by frame. You get the finished photographs and animation ready to use.
