Huge animation fan Dominic got in touch with Blue Peter to tell us all about his amazing stop-frame animations. We were so impressed with his passion and work that we decided to give him a special surprise and made him our latest BP VIP (that’s Blue Peter Very Important Person)! We sent Dominic and Joel on an exciting access all areas visit to the set of the new Wallace and Gromit movie, Vengeance Most Foul. Dominic was sent on a behind the scenes tour of the Oscar Award winning Aardman Studios who created the legendary Wallace and Gromit.
