MOTION OF CHARACTERS HISTORY AND OTHER STUFF ABOUT THEM THEY CREATE A SERIES OF FACES FOR ALL OF THE CHARACTERS THAT THEY MAKE, THEY ALSO USE A HIGH FRAME RATE AS THE MOVEMENT IN THEIR FILMS IS ALMOST PERFECTLY SMOOTH, BUT BECAUSE THEY USE SUCH A HIGH FRAME RATE AND LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE CHARACTERS MOVE SMOOTHLY IT CAN TAKE THEM UP TO 5 YEARS TO COMPLETE JUST ONE FILM, BUT THE FILMS ARE OUTSTANDING AND MANY OF THE SHORT FILMS AND PROGRAMS THAT THEY HAVE PRODUCED HAVE BEEN WATCHED BY MANY A DIFFERENT GENERATION AND LOVED BY THEM ALL. AARDMAN USE MODELLING CLAY MODELS BUT THEY HAVE FEATURES THAT CAN BE REPLACED AND MOVED ABOUT. THE MODELLING CLAY USED TO CREATE THE MODELS IS MIXED IN A BUBBLE GUM MACHINE AT THE AARDMAN STUDIOS. GO TO THE NEXT LINK TO VIEW A VIDEO ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN AARDMAN MODELS AND TO GET ANIMATING ON THE SITE THE TEAM AT AARDMAN USE OVER 80 CAMERAS, AARDMAN WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO SHOT AN I MAX STOP MOTION 3D ANIMATED TEST. IN 1986 AARDMAN TEAMED UP WITH DIRECTOR STEPHEN JOHNSON AND THE BROTHERS QUAY TO CREATE A ROCK MUSIC ANIMATION VIDEO THE MUSIC VIDEO WAS CALLED SLEDGE HAMMER AND WENT ON TO COLLECT ALMOST EVERY AWARD THAT YEAR. IN 1993 AARDMAN MADE THE FILM THE WRONG TROUSERS, IT WAS AARDMANS FIRST 30 MINUET FILM AND IT WON OVER THIRTY AWARDS AND IS ACCLAIMED WORLD-WIDE. THE FILM IS NOW ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ANIMATED FILMS EVER MADE AND DUE PARTLY TO THE SMOOTHNESS OF THE MOTION OF THE CHARACTERS. IN 2005 A FIRE SWEPT THROUGH ONE OF THE STORAGE WAREHOUSE CONTAINING MODELS, PROPS AND MANY OTHER TREASURES CREATED BY THE ANIMATORS AND DESIGNERS AT AARDMAN, THIS SET THEN BACK YEARS ON SOME OF THEIR FILMS. FOR MORE INFORMATION IN TO THE HISTORY OF THE COMPANY VISIT STUDIO/HISTORY/. AARDMAN USES ARMATURES INSIDE THERE MODELS, THIS HELPS TO GIVE THERE MODELS A SMOTHER FLOW OF MOVEMENT, THE STRUCTURE ALSO HELPS TO KEEP THE MODELS UP, AARDMAN USE SKELETAL ARMATURES FOR THEIR MODELS.
