This week on the podcast I chat to Director and Animator Will Becher.  Will is a Director and Creative at Aardman Animation in Bristol, he joined the animation team on Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit, becoming one of Aardman's youngest ever feature film animators.   

Will has since worked on series, commercials and features as lead character animator. He also directed the feature film 'Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddom'. I talked to Will about how he got to work on these amazing projects, what it is like directing stop motion animation and we chatted about the Aardman academy.
