Behind the scenes at Aardman Animations
Step behind the scenes at one of the most inspiring creative spaces on the planet
Loved and respected around the globe for their characterful creations, Aardman animations has long been our city's most respected studios. Their positivity and collective superpowers have beamed out from their HQ in the centre of the city for all to see. But rarely does the public get to see the magic that goes on behind the scenes at this creative powerhouse.
Join us, and the legendary Gavin Strange aka Jam Factory, on a full access behind the scenes tour of the studios, and meet all the incredible creations including Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, Morph, Chicken Run, Pirates and so many more.
Gavin takes us through the creative corridors and shows us where all these wonderful stories have been conjured up and brought to life. Many of which have formed parts of our childhood. Gavin talks to us as he reflects on how working within the gravitational pull of such amazingly creative folk, drives his passion for the art form.
A truly inspiring character in the world of animation and video himself, Gavin exudes the values of Aardman. Open, creative, collaborative and spirited. We have been lucky enough to work with Gavin for an article in our magazine Original Features where he showed us his positively pink den of inspiration.
