hi i love aardman its my life and i want to be a animater when im older im making my own film called mouse trap im working on it now im building a house for it but dont know how to make one could you give me a link on how to make a house for animation

what sort of house connor. i could help you as my films in progress

connor i have made loads of model houses you can use carboard boxes then go o the tinternet and get wall paper pictures.good luck

ive built lots of really good sets for my films

Cool will you put your work on the internet when it is finished? I'd really like to watch the results!

I would love too work in Animation too, if you do become one I would like to work! i do like making stuff too!

I haven't every really made any models. I do some sewing and beadwork sometimes, though. It's getting colder out so I was thinking of making a Feathers McGraw tea/coffee cosy. Him, or a Gromit with his new chef hat. It would be my first W&G Creation.

sounds like a cracking idea - I look forward to seeing a picture of it in our creations gallery!

i made these cheese scons with my gran last week and there really nice.
1)heat the oven to 220 degres C or gas mark 7 and grease and flour a metal baking sheet.
2)sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and rub in the butter so that it looks like breadcrumbs.add the grated cheese
3)in a small bowl mix the milk and egg together with a fork and then add this to the flour and butter and grated cheese.
4)after a bit of mixing(time to get your fingers messy)the mixture should form a nice dough.
5)tip out the dough onto a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin so that it is about 2cm thick.the take a round shaped cutter and cut out the scones(the mag says six from the mixture but i got 9)
6)place the uncooked scones on the baking sheet,brush the top of each with a little bit of milk and put on a dusting of parmesan cheese.
7)put the baking sheet carefully into the middle of the oven-remember it will be very hot-and leave for 15-20 mins or until they have risen slightly and are a lovely golden colour.
using oven gloves take the tray out of the oven and leave your scones to cool.

ingredients-
150g self_raising flour
25g butter
1 teaspoon of baking powder
3 tablespoons of milk
75g of grated cheese
1 large egg
a little exra milk
a dusting of gratd cheddar

Well I Might Make A Felt Picture Of Wallace

Hello, i am new at the world of animation. I am from Portugal, the land where José Mourinho came from, and Cristiano ronaldo to .
I would like to hear some opinions about my 3 mini films i have done recently. I will link the site in youtube so you can see the films. They don't have anything about wallace and gromit, so i am not really sure if i can post them here. As i said the films were my first ones so they are not so good because i need to take lots of photos, and they have some problems with the light, my hands appear on the first one...many things happened.
Well if any of you is interested on it please go to:

(Sorry for my inglish, trying to learn so it goes better)
Thank you

I've been cross-stitching lately. I've wanted to cross-stitch some W+G stuff, but I don't want to get in trouble for copyright rules.

Anyone know anything about copyright?

Hi vicster821, as long as you are doing a personal project (and not selling any W&G things that you make) you shouldn't have any problems. If you take a photo of your finished creation you could also enter it in our competition! http://wallaceandgromit.com/creations/
