Hi, I'm Alberto Hernández Mérida, a stop-motion animator based in Budapest, Hungary.
Hi, I’m Alberto Hernández Mérida, a stop-motion animator based in Budapest, Hungary. I specialize in stop-motion animation and take on roles from animator and director to editor and puppet/builder, delivering work for feature films, short films, TV segments, and music videos.
I collaborate across teams to craft vivid, tactile worlds, from puppets and props to lighting and camera work. My projects include freelance Upwork work since 2016, a feature film contribution for Taucher/El Buzo (Austria, 2018), TV segments like Prime’s Miskina Season 2 (2024), and the SYFY Network logo idents (2019–2023).
The Fixer is a mixed media short film, told by a little girl, that portraits the resilience of woman. I create the stop-motion scenes, which are a big part of the film. I design, build, animate and did the post production of all the stop-motion.

Commissioned by SYFY network to create an homage animation based on Troy. In this short animation I got inspired by greek/roman vases and went to give that texture to the background. The horse and warriors design are inspired by the ones of the film, with slight modifications. The use of light shows the transitions of mood, from day to night and to the battle moment. #animator #advert
