Carmen B. Mason | Stop Motion Animator & Junior Director - Bonus Episode

The resurgence of #animation can’t be ignored. As we enjoy the incredible work coming to our screens we stop, big pun, to share more about #Stopmotion with an incredible artist in the field - Carmen Bromfield Mason. She has an impressive catalogue of work that includes Shaun the Sheep and Early Man. As a Junior Director working at #AardmanAnimation she’s perfectly placed to give us advice. We caught up with her to chat and get lessons on her approach to getting her foot in the door, hear her views on the state of the stop-motion industry and future opportunities. She explained about the level of detail and dedication involved in bringing characters to life, the impact #VR could have on the entire #workflow and if she partly owns Aardman (as a large stake of it has been handed over to employees). She also reflected on the low numbers of #diverse candidates entering the space, provided us with words of wisdom and much more. Listen and learn. It’s another two-parter. This is the 2nd, bonus, part.
