Testimonials

"Shaun the Sheep the Movie was a great challenge due to the dozens of extra characters required to populate the city. On Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit the model making team built background characters with a mixture of ball and socket and wire limbs - but the wire often snapped under the pressure. Lot's has changed in the 10 years since, and I was really impressed when I first got my hands on one of Julian's armatures. In the operating theatre sequence, I worked with a number of characters built with Julian's custom made armatures. They were easy to tension/rig and offered the range of movement required, from bold and broad to very subtle. I'd happily work with them again."
