OLD-FASHIONED FUN
While Tink Tank Animate is full 
of high-end production gear and 
equipment — pens that can draw 
on screens, a recording studio 
with instruments, an infinity 
stage for filming, a theater and a 
stop-motion studio — Dorenfeld 
says there’s zero intimidation.
In fact, the studio’s name 
is derived from the art of 
“tinkering,” or simply playing 
around.
“We don’t want anyone to 
think, ‘Oh, I can’t go there,’” 
Dorenfeld says. “We want you to 
feel like you’re tinkering, so that 
you come here, and you feel that 
it’s fun.”
Throughout the year, Tink 
Tank Animate also hosts creative 
workshops where students create 
a full body of work from story 
to edit. 
Previous themes have included 
short-form children’s content (in 
penguin and duck themes) and 

long- to short-form content for 
any age group that taps into AI 
to help complete large tasks and 
even larger ideas.
Most recently, Tink Tank 
Animate also filed to become 
a 501(c)(3) charitable 
organization, the next step 
in the studio’s evolution and 
commitment to the community.
Dorenfeld says it’s a major 
milestone for the 6-year-old 
business, as the designation will 
allow it to fundraise and apply 
for grants to service even more 
families and individuals across 
Michigan and nationwide.
“I wanted to be able to build 
something up where we can open 
our doors to a large population,” 
Dorenfeld says of the studio’s 
grand vision. “This should allow 
us to expand massively.”
