Animation Bridge

Aimed at the UK's top animators, 'Animation Bridge' was a training programme designed and delivered in partnership with Aardman and Dreamworks (US). The project helped highly skilled practitioners in traditional animation transfer their skills to the digital world of CGI (computer generated imaging), significantly improving the UK industry's ability to compete in global markets.

Comprising a 12-week 'Stop Frame to CGI' course at Aardman and masterclasses in Bristol, Bournemouth and London, the impact of 'Animation Bridge' is clear: seven highly skilled stop frame animators are now able to create CG animation to feature film standard and ninety-two delegates to the masterclasses gained considerable insight into the principles of skills transfer from stop frame to CGI.

'The key to the success of Animation Bridge was animators training animators and if we were to run future courses, we would use that model as a template'

Steve Pegram, Aardman
