Nick Park was born on the 6th December 1958 and is an English film maker of stop motion animation best known as the creator of Wallace & Gromit and Shaun The Sheep. He was born on Brookfield park in Preston in Lancashire, England and grew up on Greenlands Estate, Preston and later moved to Walmer Bridge where his mother still resides. In 1985, he joined the staff of Aardman Animations in Bristol, where he worked as an animator on commercial products (including the video for Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer, where he worked on the dance scene involving oven-ready chickens). He also had a part in animating the Pee-wee's Playhouse which featured Paul Reubens. Along with all this, he had finally completed A Grand Day Out, and with that in post-production, he made Creature Comforts as his contribution to a series of shorts called "Lip Synch". Creature Comforts matched animated zoo animals with a soundtrack of people talking about their homes. The two films were nominated for a host of awards.
(Nick Park.)Nick Park is the creator of the well known clay animation Wallace & Gromit. Wallace & Gromit are the main characters in a British series consisting of four animated short films and a feature length film by Nick Park of Aardman Animations. The characters are made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay animation.
Wallace, an absent minded inventor living in Wigan, Lancashire, is a cheese enthusiast who is especially fond of Wensleydale. His companion, Gromit, is an anthropomorphic intelligent dog. Wallace is voiced by veteran actor Peter Sallis, Gromit remains silent, communicating only through facial expressions and body language.
The two characters appear in the monthly BeanoMAX comic and daily in The Sun. They are also heavily featured in 'Aardmag', the free online magazine that is unofficial but supported by Aardman Animations.
