The characters are made from different substances, depending on what they're required to do in each shot. Model makers work at desks piled high with tools, from soldering irons to hair dryers to the omnipresent magnifying glasses and lamps so they can see what they're doing. The naked aluminum skeleton is a bit of a weird sight, like some kind of sheep-shaped Terminator.Įach stop-motion character is born in the Aardman workshops. Earlier this year, I visited Aardman studios in Bristol, England, to learn the techniques behind films like 2015's Shaun the Sheep Movie, 2000's Chicken Run and 2005's Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. When the music and sound effects are dubbed in afterward, the result is always a hilarious slapstick adventure - and new movie Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddon is no exception, complete with added references to classic sci-fi movies for older viewers.Ī Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon is in theaters now, and Netflix has picked up rights to it. Shaun and his friends are real physical models placed on physical sets and photographed over and over, with the photos combined to create the illusion of dynamic movement. The hush is because Aardman's films starring beloved characters like Shaun the Sheep and Wallace and Gromit are made using stop-motion animation. So the biggest surprise when you walk onto the set of Aardman's new Shaun the Sheep movie is the silence. When you think of a film set, you think of hustle and bustle, noise and activity. Shaun the Sheep is baa-ck in new movie Farmageddon.
