00:00It's like being inside the Aardman brain, being in here, right at the kind of creative industrial centre, seeing how
00:09things work.
00:11So I think there's a lot of characters that will appeal to all ages, from the very young to the
00:18very old.
00:19That's right, it's kind of a bit overwhelming really, because I'm used to seeing, you know, we're used to seeing
00:24our characters kind of this big,
00:26or Feathers McGraw this big, and Morph, you know, who's about that big.
00:31To see them so big, you know, on the screen, it's like you've gone to sleep and had too much
00:40cheese, and it's all coming back.
00:46I wouldn't say a nightmare, but a fantastic dream.
00:50The 67-year-old joined the award-winning Aardman Animations Project Studio in the 1980s,
00:56where he has created many beloved stop-motion animations, including Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep and Creature Comforts.
01:05Nick Park's comments came ahead of the premiere of Larger Than Life,
01:10which is a 360-degree immersive projection to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the animation studios.
01:20I must say, from what I've seen so far, it is like being in the very nerve centre of the
01:26studio.
01:27Of all the creativity, all the planning of films, the making of models, the set designs, how we create the
01:36characters,
01:37how we construct the films together, come up with ideas, you know, so it's a real immersive experience, really.
01:46But it's, you know, it's projected on all sides, all around you, and the sound is incredible,
01:51and there's a, you know, there's a narrative that takes you through it all.
01:55And we make films for ourselves, really, but we also make films for the child that we keep alive within
02:03us.
02:03So it's for adults, it's for children of all ages, basically.
02:09Yeah, I mean, I used to think, well, we're filmmakers, really, and animation happens to be our technique,
02:15which is kind of true, but I think there's something about the clay, there's something intrinsic about it,
02:21which also brings the humour and the charm along with it.
02:51So I think there's something that needs to be our touchstone.
02:57What's the history of the film called the first one and that I have seen before?
02:59There is a film called The Chiragel Ones Burner.
03:00It's a film called The Chiragel Ones Burner.
