And why Nick park I hear you say. Because when most of you were not even a twinkle in you mum and dads I was watching Wallace and Gromit grand day out. Back in the day when you could still watch Wallace and Gromit on the BBC. This Nick Park started back when he was at the National film and television school but later finish working on it part time while working for aardman.
Creature comforts a project for lip synch. 5 minute films commissioned by channel 4 to explore real characters mixed with there voices. Creature comforts has been called one of the greatest animated films of all time.
The characters of Wallace and Gromit are amazingly animated with Wallace being a craze English inventor who love cheese. You wont see that in anything else as is just so British. And Gromit with no dialogue but beautifully animated showing so much emotion with just his eye, eye brow and arms.
Nick Park is a great fan of beano drawing from it for some of his inspiration like in the wrong trousers, with the winding street that Wallace walks around into the distance. The clay animation which Nick park has traditionally used isn't the easiest to animate, and Wallace and Gromit have come a long way since those early day.
Even though Aardman were an imagining animation company with the likes of morph I would say that with Nick Park they Wouldn't have been as successful. Without Nick Park they could still be around in today market but wouldn't have been so well know throughout the world. Nick Park is also a great example of what you can achieve with a little imagination and a lot of hard work.
