Sloan Motion Pictures

Sloan Motion Pictures is an independent boutique animation studio and production banner based in Toronto, Canada. Founded in 2015 by animator and director Stephen “Steve” Sloan, it serves as a creative hub for original 2D animation, commercial projects, web series and animation instruction.

The studio’s work centres on digital character animation, with capabilities spanning character design, storyboarding, rigging, asset development and animation direction. Its production services extend from individual character assets to series development and production, alongside workflow consulting and technical instruction. Toon Boom Harmony is a particular focus of its character rigging and educational work.

Its independent output includes animated web comedy, commercial character work and collaborations combining animation with live performance. These projects connect the studio’s character animation practice with adult comedy, digital entertainment and institutional communications.

Independent production and collaboration

The banner operates through Sloan’s own creative practice and project-based collaborators. Its activities include developing original material, producing animation for external organisations and sharing production knowledge through demonstrations and instructional videos. This combination gives its work both a production and an educational dimension.

Sloan also maintains a separate production career at Look Mom! Productions. His broadcast and streaming work through that company belongs to that operator’s production history and provides context for his experience alongside his independent practice.
