i ws thinking the other day what got me into animation mine was in middle school with digie blues then that night i went and bought the dvd curse of the ware rabbit. what got you into animation?

Hi i used digi blue at my juniours lol. Nick park inspires me and my animation i got started into animations after seeing curseof the wear rabbit before that i used to do flip book animations but now i do plasticine and flash. At my school just took I.T course and it covers flash animation

after seeing most of aardmans films i disided to give it a try myself...

i think i always had a fascination about animation and when i was about eight i got a book on it and a little kit. It seemed a bit hard. About three four years later my dad showed me a website about stop motion animation and how you can make your own animation like the characters in adverts.

me too. when i was little i was always watching creature comforts!!

I saw this thing called cre8 on discovery then got into w&g then did my own ones

I never cared much for animation until I saw W&G and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, as that's when I was introduced to animating with clay. Animation by drawing doesn't interest me at all; I seem to like sculpture and 3 dimensional art a lot more. I doubt I would have made any models, though, if it wasn't for this forum, with all the inspiration, friendly help and useful tips.

5 words- Aardman Made Me DO it!

I dont make films,I watch animation,like Aardman things.I saw the new aardman advert the other day,good job lad.

We got a new dv camera years ago and I read the manual (for some reason) and found out that I could make animations with it. I then found out how to do it on the computer (after a few years) and a couple of years later, here I am

Hi Chocachoc, I'm glad you stumbled on that manual

I got into animation by a competition, it was that the whole town had to make an video or animation, in the schools you made groups and I made one with two of my freinds, we had a few paper sets and it went well until in the middle of filming when we went home from school, the next time we came back there was plasticine all in the webcam making it cloudy, it went well though and was fun to make, then this wesite came and that made me get Cracking Animation to make me want to make lots, I have been into animation making for two years now, and I have liked animation all my life.

do you think cracking nimation is a good book i do it's really usefull

seeing the wrong trousers for the first time got me into animation and that was ages ago. i alrady had a software in which you could make cartoons in. i made millions of cartoons on that and then the next step was claymation,and i'm working on a film now

Crackingtoast, what are you working on?

i started at playschool using clay, then discovered W&G and nick park and that was it, i was hooked

At our play school i remember making pots and butterflies out of clay, i think we still have a few of them somewhere.

i used clay and plasticine in nursery (playschool) making blob people and so on

i watched the nightmare before christmas on christmas day, and then in the evening watched the making of. coincidently i'd had a camera that christmas and some editing software. I put 2+2 together and made my first little animation, i still have it today.

im not much of an animater im more of a writer. ever since i was born ive had a fasination with books.when i was 5 years old i wrote my first short story and ever since ive been writng short stories.im only starting my first feature length book now.
