A couple of days ago, I put up the first of a series of video blogs focusing on the Production team at Aardman Animations Studios looking at their brand new feature film The Pirates! In An Adventure with Scientists. The previous video looked at the lip-sync or ‘track breakdown’ by Chris Stock who must be the most patient man on the planet! Today, it’s more of an arty look with Jonny Duddle who walks us through his job as ‘Character Designer’ on the movie.
In the Vlog, Jonny tells us how a character can develop over time and how he cannot get too attached to the characters that he draws ans literally any aspect of that character can change. Yet again, Aardman show us what amazing and talented people they have working for them.
Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists is released 28th March and I think you’re going to love it!

Ever wondered how the clever people at Aardman are able to lip-sync the characters so perfectly with the animation? Well, wonder no more as we’ve been this exclusive production video log which focuses on Chris Stock who is responsible ‘track breakdown’ at the studio for their new movie, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists.
If ever you think your job is laborious, Chris’ set a new standard as he is responsible for every single syllable that you hear when you’re watching the lip-sync in the movie. As you’ll see from the brilliant Vlog below, he has to analyse a waveform and let the animators know which letter or mouth movement the character will need to say for a specific phrase and all this is done in milliseconds.
Chris must have the patience of a saint to get this done but when you see the results, it’s simply fantastic!
