This week on the podcast I chat to Director and Animator Will Becher. Will is a Director and Creative at Aardman Animation in Bristol, he joined the animation team on Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit, becoming one of Aardman's youngest ever feature film animators.

Will has since worked on series, commercials and features as lead character animator. He also directed the feature film 'Shaun the Sheep: Farmageddom'.
