City Council - Regular Meeting

Meet Max Lopez and Cami Kwan, co-founders of Apartment D Films, a stop-motion animation studio based right here in Burbank. Known for handcrafted animation, their work has reached audiences worldwide. You may have seen it in Ruff Ruff Danger Dogs, Nickelodeon's Middlemost Post, and The New Adventures of The Blue Mist. In stop-motion, every movement is captured frame by frame. Apartment D designs and builds all the models by hand, then brings the animations to life one frame at a time. And what once started in a small apartment near Alameda and Victory has grown into a full studio. Today, this team brings over 30 years of combined experience, reaching millions of viewers online. They've gone on to work with studios like Nickelodeon and Warner Brothers, contributing to projects across TV, film, and digital media. Their most recent project, Paper Daughter, tells the story of a Chinese-American immigrant and is already gaining recognition across the industry. Follow their journey at Apartment D Films and learn more about why Burbank continues to be a leader in the industry. Who should we spotlight next? Let us know in the comments.
