wudwurks, A HUGE, WARM WELCOME TO OUR COMMUNITY!

You are not alone! You don't have to be a young kid to appreciate W&G...and the work that goes into them

I've loved them for years and always will!

hi wudworks, welcome!!! still plastercine!!! i think you will find on avarage the models are about 10 inches in height, so i think that probably answers your sets question, jordan will have the answers!!!!!!!

Welcome, wudworks! Welcome to our large community! Yes, I love Wallace and Gromit for many years. You don't have to be a kid! Once again, a very warm welcome!

i can yes thanks cinders:

hi wudwurks, to answer your set question:

when making human characters (adults) make them 8-10 inches high or 20-25cm high.

a set can be any size you want it to be alsong as you have the space

say you want a room set make sure the walls are higher than the characters , so when filming the camera has a gap between the top of the characters head and a higher wall behind it , but make sure you camera doesnt see the top of the wall.

anymore questions just ask

thanks everyone,,,,for the kind welcome and replies...are wallace and gromit still done with clay and stop motion filming or do they use 3d animation programs on things now??

Still Clay, Definitly!!!

Every frame is done in plasticine by hand! That's what gives the films so much life...
'Flushed Away' was computer animated and you can immediately tell the difference when you compare it with W&G.

yes you can tell the difference between the two a warm welcome to the community wud works

Rastophulus is right. It is so easy to tell the difference.

Welcome wudworks!!!!

hello

Welcome!

hi wudworks! Welcome to the wonderful world of and !!! No need to ashamed to be hooked on W&G at any age. Some of us have been fans for years, others more recent. The good thing is that we're all a community that understands the quirkiness of being hooked on the craziness of and !
