WHAT IS A.F.A.M. ?

Action Figure Action Movie or A.F.A.M. is the stop motion web series that imagines big budget action films as if they were starring action figures. Partly inspired by Robot Chicken, A.F.A.M. is less of a sketch comedy show and more of an homage to hard hitting, high octane, action movies.

Created by Lon Lopez and Rob Wilson, A.F.A.M., uses painstaking traditional stop motion animation with some digital overlays and the process can be long and arduous. Not only do Lopez and Wilson create original characters from modified store bought figures, they also create all the custom dioramas and set pieces.
