3) @justinrasch_official
Previously a senior animator at Blizzard Entertainment, Justin Rasch has 27 years of experience in animation. On TikTok, he shares some of the intricate animation processes that go on behind-the-scenes. Through his videos, Rasch pulls back the curtain on the world of animation, offering a behind-the-scenes peek into the artistry that drives the magic.
@justinrasch_official Got another timelapse of me animating from the @gdtreal pinocchio ….timelapse shot @ptszk … this one clearly shows how stop mo animation is not meant to be seen from different perspectives besides the camera lens. off axis outsife of the screen. #animation #magic #pinocchio #guillermodeltoro #stopmotion #justinrasch #spazzatura #shadowmachine
Using a series of timelapse videos, Rasch compels viewers with his stop-motion animation techniques, revealing the labour-intensive process that brings characters to life. These glimpses into the animation process aren’t just eye-catching; they’re also educational, providing a deeper understanding of the craft.
One of the highlights of Rasch’s TikToks is the results of his work – clay puppets that are animated with painstaking detail.
But Rasch doesn’t stop at TikTok. His strategic cross-platform approach extends to YouTube, where he shares his completed animations. By first giving his TikTok audience a taste of the process, and then directing them to the finished product on YouTube, Rasch generates a curiosity that drives viewers to explore his content further.

5) @thelandofboggs
As one of Buzzfeed’s most recognisable animation projects, The Land of Boggs blew up on the internet with their trove of lovable characters. The most recognisable would be Boggo, an introverted light blue bogg. She’s often accompanied by her extroverted orange friend, Boe.
@thelandofboggs Anything’s good with me! #boggs #animation #food
Fans of the series can expect two new videos every week, which is an impressive feat from the animation team. The brightly coloured characters from The Land of Boggs were designed to be drawn quickly while staying recognisable. Beyond having easily distinguishable designs, it was also important that the characters have distinct personalities that viewers can relate to.
Because of their simple designs, the animation team was able to focus on animating elaborate movements to make the videos more entertaining.
If you want quick light-hearted videos about friendship and other feel-good vibes, tune in to Land of Boggs!

De Martrin’s other videos also feature his experimentation with visual effects and computer-generated imagery (CGI). While De Martrin’s TikTok feels like a testing ground of sorts, his realistic animation is an impressive testament to his skill as a 3D entertainer.
7) @weirdhelga

Fun fact – Weird Helga’s creator, Lizz Hickey was also the one who designed the Boggs! Hickey created Weird Helga as a form of affirmation and reassurance to her viewers that life is indeed very weird. With over 6 million followers on TikTok, this creative decision has certainly paid off.
