Nick Park
Through his passion for stop motion and modelling clay, we have come to love his silent (but wise) dog and well-meaning owner.
Wallace and Gromit are Nick Park’s most famous creations, but what more do we know about this Preston born Oscar winner?
He would use his mother’s home movie camera to record his early films; he studied animation at the National Film and Television School in Buckinghamshire; and joined Aardman Animations in the mid-80s.
Over the last few decades, Nick Park has gained critical acclaim for feature films, Chicken Run and Early Man. So, as we await the latest Wallace and Gromit offering this Christmas, Mark Coles has donned the RIGHT trousers to take a closer look at the multi-award winning animator.
