Read Interview
Hello, I'm Alistair! I grew up being obsessed with Wallace & Gromit and making silly things. Did animation at Uni, then formed a one man stop-motion studio. Over the last few years I've been moving more into directing projects ,mainly stop-motion animated adverts and music videos. I dream in plasticine. Had the pleasure of working with such brands/artists as Nickelodeon, Louis Vuitton, Chet Faker and Salomon.
