Merlin Crossingham

Director, Aardman Animations

Making a stop motion feature film is a physical process with hundreds of talented artists, crafts people and technicians taking the project from an idea on the page to finished film. Merlin will delve into how he collaborated with the crew and artists on Wallace and Gromit Vengeance Most Fowl to let them bring the best of themselves and their creativity while maintaining his vision for the film. Merlin will also lift the lid on his experience directing world famous characters, the expectations and pressures that come with that and his journey through animation that got him there.
