The nice thing about animation is that you can realise your inventions without understanding all the hard theory.

Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.

But I think people see 'Wallace and Gromit' as something akin to an elderly couple. These two know each other so well. Nothing can split them apart.

We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.

I think we all have a Wallace and Gromit inside us. Wallace is the part that has wild plans. Gromit is the sensible side, reining you in.
