What lurks in the shadows at ShadowMachine! 👻 by @shadowmachine_official

s p r i n g t i m e by @shadowmachine_official

We’ve had some chef’s kiss moments with the puppets brought to life by local animation wizards ShadowMachine. From Tiny Chef’s “sho sho” charm to Pinocchio’s wide-eyed wonder, these scene-stealers have stopped travelers in their tracks.

They’re packing up now for their next adventure, but we’ll miss them dearly… or as Tiny Chef would say, “deawwy.” 💚

The PDX Art Program is already working on the next exhibition. We promise it’ll bring some smiles to your travel day. by @shadowmachine_official

They aren’t really sitting on chairs 🤫 @peacock tv’s #InTheKnow ⭐️ #stopmotionmagic

You’ve seen the incredible puppets catching eyes in the Concourse Connector, but here’s a fun fact: it takes 24 individually crafted faces to create just one second of film! 🎞️ Georgina, Director of Character Fabrication at Portland’s own ShadowMachine (@shadowmachine_official), gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how they brought Guillermo del Toro’s @pinocchiomovie to life.

From Pinocchio’s expressive features to Geppetto’s intricate design, every detail highlights the artistry of stop-motion animation. Next time you’re at PDX, take a closer look at the North and South display cases—they’re here through Summer 2025 and absolutely worth slowing down for. by @shadowmachine_official

such a delight to catch up with some old faces from home, visiting us at ShadowMachine this evening 💖 go watch Memoir of a Snail - either out now or coming soon to a theatre near you (Aus/US folks) 🐌

It takes a lot of time and love —and friends!— to make Cheffy’s yard as beautiful as the dishes he and Olly and their fabulous friends cook up inside his studio stump home on @thetinychefshow 💚

Super duper shoutout to his main garden-tender @laurasavageringland, to landscapers @caitlinpashalek, @samcobb78, @matthallartpdx, and @insideout_umbrella, and to team-leader @sam___levy!! by @shadowmachine_official
