About Us
Founded by wife-and-husband team Lindsay & Justin Lee, Gazelle Automations is an award-winning film production company specializing in puppets, model miniatures and animation. We’re currently in production on Go Togo, our new TV series for CBC Kids.
From humble beginnings in the back room of a pizza shop (where pizza orders were literally passing by the camera), Gazelle Automations now sees projects through from concept and fabrication to production, VFX and finishing.
Our clients and production partners include the BBC, CBC, ITV, Publicis, Shaftesbury, TVO and the University of Tokyo.

ABOUT GAZELLES
Gazelles are rather small antelopes, most standing 60–110 cm (2–3.5 ft) high at the shoulder, and are generally fawn-colored. We are unsure of their feelings about puppets.
