Listen "Morph and More ~ Handmade Animation in a World of AI, with Aardman's Peter Lord"
Episode Synopsis
On this December "cold"full moon we have a visit from a new friend, who recently visited us in Stromness: the creator of Morph, Creature Comforts, Wallace and Gromit and many more animation favorites. Please do forgive the less-than-perfect sound quality in the first half hour. We did our best, recording from a distance on a dreich night with interference from the rumbling ferry across the street. Such is life on a northerly island, but this chat was worth persisting with. We hope you agree! If you're inspired to do so, you can buy us a dram on Ko-fi, with our hearty thanks: https://ko-fi.com/orkneyology Tonight, Tom Muir and Peter Lord have a talk about these things and much more:Early days with good friend David Sproxton, and a fondness for plasticine - schoolboys on a kitchen tableRay Harryhausen inspirationsMorph in Orkney and elsewhere: almost 50 years, and forever youngA new career in advertising: fun and lucrative!Enter Nick Park, "brilliant and stubborn" geniusThe return of the evil penguinAcademy AwardsWar StoryFilming Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer video ... amongst decaying fish and chickensChicken Run, plasticine on the big screen: The Great Escape ... with chickensWallace and Gromit - when Gromit had a mouth!Curse of the WarerabbitHandmade, human animation in a world of AIAnd last but not least, Shaun the Sheep, who has "many more stories to tell".
