Aardman Studios
Aardman studios in Bristol is one of the most successful animation studios. Watch creative director, Merlin Crossingham, talk about the company.
Animation is a methodical and time-consuming process. You can animate on your own but if you want to make ambitious projects then, as for any film production, you need a team of people working with the same purpose and vision.
Jobs in animation are usually clearly defined and often specialised.
