V&A - Inside Aardman

Ray Harryhausen, legendary stop motion animator, brought mythological monsters to life with groundbreaking artistry. His eerie, imaginative films like Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans remain Halloween favorites. Celebrate his legacy this Halloween by revisiting his hand-crafted cinematic magic. Truly awe-inspiring.

While animators bring characters to life frame by frame, animation editors are the quiet architects shaping the story behind the scenes. In animation, editing starts before a single frame is drawn, using storyboards, animatics, and sound to build the foundation of the film. From timing and pacing to continuity and collaboration, the editor ensures every scene flows seamlessly. If you're detail-oriented, creative, and passionate about storytelling, animation editing could be your perfect role in the production pipeline.

Original Aardman puppets, props and artworks are heading to auction to mark the studio's 50th anniversary. You could own a piece of British stop-motion history!
