I'm a student at the Art Institute in Minneapolis, MN and I wanted to know if anyone knew how I could possibly contact an animator who has worked with stop motion. I've looked at a number of Aardman sites for key animators but had no luck thus far. So if I could get some feedback with this I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

im a stop motion animater

what have you worked on?

Hi lukke
If you are looking for a key animator to interview, have a look at http://www.stopmotionanimation.com/ you will find quite a few in the forum. Infact Anthony Scott who started the site (back in 1999) has worked on numerous stop motion projects within the industry.
If you only wanted to interview someone from Aardmans, there is one person that was an assistant Animator on W & G the curse of the were-rabbit that contributes quite a lot,
I believe there has been others.
Good luck hope this helps

if you could send a message to quitpokin@hotmail.com i could send back that interview questions if that sounds alright with the two of you who volunteered..

Interview me too!

i'm a stop motion animator too! (and i can play the piano!)

I couldn't play the piano even if my life depended on it.

its easy once you know how

I once tried and I couldn't play a stupid tune and I was yelling in frustration after fifteen minutes.

the way to play it is to have patience.

Well, I kinda like to be patient. I play guitar and I enjoy that but I've never kind of been good at the piano!

i play trumpet

i play the piano to i have been playing it for 4 years.

get urself onto myspace there are alot of aardman animators and model makers who have profiles on there. make friends with them and im sure they will happily give u an interview.
they have helped me out in the past so am sure they wont mind.
