Aardman Internship

I have spent a very exciting 3 weeks on an internship at Aardman animations working on the 'Shaun the Sheep Movie'This has been a fantastic learning experience for me. For 2 weeks I was working as an animation assistant making replacement mouth shapes and eyelids for the Farmer and Bitzer characters. For the last week I did some animation tests with a ball and socket puppet from their previous film 'Pirates! in an adventure with Scientists' whose name was Faraday. Below you can see the test animation I made along with some photos of the process.
