A History of Aardman: Episode 4 - Pete and Dave Meet Nick Park!

Filmed in the Aardman cinema, Dave Sproxton talks to Mark Cosgrove about the history of Aardman, continuing with the move into television commercials, moving into bigger premises in Bristols historic harbourside and meeting Nick Park. This episode also details when Nick Park was in the very early creative stages of what would become The Wrong Trousers, with some wonderful shots from his early sketchbooks.

Look out for a new episode each month detailing the progression of Aardman from its humble origins to the large scale studio it is today. For more information, visit:

[fanatix2008]

the jaguar in the clip says he's from brazil (which speaks portuguese), but he speaks in a spanish accent, enough to make me not believe him as brazilian. lol, but great retro stuff anyway
