“William is a bit of a dreamer.” That’s what Will’s teachers often wrote on his reports. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be an animator. He describes his own story so well, that I’ll let him speak for himself here: “After a degree in animation at Edinburgh College of Art, Will joined Aardman Animations as a trainee assistant animator on Wallace & Gromit's Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Since then he has worked on features, commercials and TV shows including The Pirates, Creature Comforts and Shaun the Sheep. He has written and directed three independent short films and is currently Animation Director on Nick Park’s latest feature film Early Man in Bristol. Will lives in South Gloucestershire, England with his talented wife and two children.” Links: Will Becher: will_becher, willbecher.co.uk Eve Coy: @evescoy, http://evecoy.blogspot.co.uk/ Aardman Animation: http://www.aardman.com/ Early Man Movie: @EarlyManmovie If you're curious about Will's work, here's a list...it's not exhaustive, though! :) Early Man (animation director) (filming) 2015Wolves and Dogs: Howls for Full Moon (animator) 2009-2014Shaun the Sheep (TV Series short) (animator - 45 episodes) - Fruit and Nuts (2014) ...
