Eastend Western continue their adventures in replacement animation bringing four brand-new stop-motion scenes to life for Wealthsimple. Each set within a meticulously crafted, richly textured miniature world, these tiny films were made to celebrate the launch of something big.

From a gorpcore crew camping lakeside, to a bustling city corner alive with effortless urban charm, each vignette celebrates moments of connection and delight.

Made with replacement animation, a stop-motion technique in which every frame uses a different, unique puppet, the films feature charmingly designed characters with an appearance grounded in realism and a tactile, handmade quality that make each miniature world feel alive.
