About the Studio
We craft animation with soul:
Stop motion, illustrated visuals, and smart integrations of cutting-edge AI.
Every project gets our full attention, blending sharp creativity, humor, and emotional intelligence.
We partner with our clients from the first spark of an idea
to the final frame – building concepts, cracking briefs, and bringing stories to life.
Every technique is carefully chosen
to serve the story, the brand, and the goal:
creating videos that don’t just look amazing,
but truly connect and deliver.
On a personal note
I’m Liran Kapel, animation director, designer, creator, and proud mom of two. Growing up in California, I fell in love with the magic of filmmaking while studying editing and cinematography.
My graduation film, Nyosha is a fully handcrafted stop-motion project about my grandmother’s survival during the Holocaust. It was screened at over 60 festivals and won 10 awards.
Since then, I’ve created award-winning films, including a salt-crafted short in Norway and a project featured at Cannes in 2021.
Through these stories, I discovered the incredible power of animation to move, engage, and inspire.
In 2014, I founded Studio Kapel, where a talented team of artists brings bold ideas to life through imaginative animation.
