Coop Touski Animation

Coop Touski Animation is a Québec City worker cooperative focused on stop-motion and 2D animation. The studio develops original properties while also providing specialized production and subcontracting support for film, television, performing arts, digital platforms, and commissioned projects.

Its work spans the full animation process, from ideation, screenwriting, visual development, storyboards, animatics, and production design through to fabrication, animation, compositing, sound, and final delivery. The cooperative's production model combines physical stop-motion craft with digital 2D workflows, enabling it to work across auteur shorts, youth series, stage projections, promotional work, pilots, and cinematic interstitials.

Creative and technical practice

• Stop-motion and puppetry: Puppet and armature fabrication, miniature set building, costumes, props, multi-plane capture, and digital compositing.
• 2D animation: Character rigging, digital cut-out animation, bitmap and vector workflows, and hand-drawn animation.
• Post-production: 2D visual effects, chroma-key cleanup, rig removal, digital lighting integration, motion graphics, sound design, and original scoring.
• Live and multimedia work: Animated projection content for theatre, puppetry productions, museums, and exhibition installations.

The studio uses Moho Animation, Toon Boom Harmony, TVPaint, and Dragonframe within its 2D and stop-motion pipelines. As a worker-owned cooperative, it is managed by active member-owners who share creative risks, specialized equipment, and production expertise.

Coop Touski Animation's credited work includes the stop-motion documentary short Voies de passage (Passageways), animated projections for the stage work Chacun cherche son chapeau, the youth series Les tout doux, and the internally developed project Culinaire sans Préliminaire. The cooperative is active in Québec's independent animation sector and participates in international market activity, including Telefilm Canada delegations at MIFA in Annecy.
