Cracking Movie Lad! The Making of Wallace and Gromit

16 May 08

Tristan Oliver demonstrates the secrets of Aardman’s animated success at a special BAFTA Families event.

Supported by The Farm Group.

From The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and Chicken Run to The Curse of the Wererabbit, Director of Photography Tristan Oliver has shot all of Aardman’s best loved stop frame animations.

In an interactive morning workshop designed especially for children aged between and 11, Tristan explained how these classic films were made. Using clips, real models from the films, drawings and stories he brought the art of animation to life.
