I’m back at Aardman this year, delighted to be 5 months into their Pokemon TV series. With it now being a full year since Wallace & Gromit was released, I’ve been digging through some moments I came across during my time on the film. An Aardman production is a thing of beauty, it’s detailed and unique and vast but also, I’m learning, really challenging. It’s a sprint and a marathon all in one and it feels like a pleasure to once again call it work. #stopmotion #animation #film #lighting #lightingcamera

New Article - “Baked to perfection- the cinematography of the Great British Bake Off trailer.” Once there was nothing… and then there was The Great British Bake Off. The Great British Bake Off 2025 has reached its conclusion for another year. 12 contestants have laughed, cried and baked till the bitter end, to reach the final of the nation’s beloved baking show. But this isn’t where it started. First…there was the trailer. A mesmerising mixture of mediums that connects the dawn of the galaxy, to the swirls in a meringue. From glass ovens to a stop motion pastry snail, Cinematographer Daniel Morgan talks to stopmotioncinmatographer.com about how he went about combining such different elements, and creating a stop motion world that felt completely in sync with both the close up of an eye, and the ingredients of a cake.

Bit of Bake Off BTS, directed by @isabelamelia.garrett at @blink_ink A bonkers little mix of mediums and chaos that all came together beautifully. A real joy to help piece together and shoot. Thank you to my good pal @darrenladburydop for looking after the Tent shot for me. 🤌🏼 Used the @thelightbridge mirrors a fair bit to get the details where it was needed. 👌🏼 Met a load of new pals on this one, a real pleasure to work with you all. #cinematography #stopmotion #behindthescenes #directorofphotography #animation #bts #filmlighting #filmmaking #stopmotionanimation #bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff

The Great British Bake Off! A delightful few days capturing a small slice of British culture. A concoction of mediums; stop-motion, super slow motion, time-lapse lighting rigs, live-action miniatures, multi-plane animation, cake stunts, the inside of Paul Hollywood's eye and a phallic snail to top it all off. Nothing excites me more than receiving a treatment from @isabelamelia.garrett , thanks for having me. 🥰 Director: @isabelamelia.garrett Production Company: @blink_ink Executive Producer: Bart Yates Head of Production: @alexhalley Producer: @molly_turner Production Assistant: @calum.otoole Executive Creative Director: @david_wigglesworth_ Director of 4Creative: Miketta Lane Head of Production: Charlie Bettice Creative Director: Lex Down Executive Producer: Jason Delahunty Senior Producer: Lauren Michael Production Coordinator: Amelia Croom Creative: Sofie Saietz Creative: Simone Weilborg 1st AD: Sandy Liddle DOP: @danielrm_dop DOP (Paul Hollywood shoot): @darrenladburydop Focus Puller: Michael Hannides Focus Puller (Paul Hollywood shoot): @etaishomri 2nd AC: @tonash1 2nd AC: @george_warrennn DIT: Giulio Strata Playback: @remtraff Gaffer: Aldo Camilleri Spark: Tim O'Connell Stop Motion Animator: @tobiasfouracre Stop Motion Animator: David McShane Stop Motion Rigger: Andy Spradbury Runner: @chairmanbuu Runner: Tilly Sullivan Storyboard Artist: Ed Smith Character Design: Luca Schenato Character Design: Andrew Brookes Concept Artist: Clément Danveau Showstopper Design: Daisy Collingridge 2D Animation: Nelly Michenaud // Studio Orca Production Designer: @bf_studios Art Department: @anitavere Art Department: @connorchungart Art Department: Emma Niemis Art Department: Beattie Hartley49 Art Department: Issy Gilding50 Art Department: Ben Cote Home Economist: Elaine Ngan Baker: Lauren Duncan Studio Location: @claphamrdstudio Venue Managers: @lauraxpuig @daisygarside Editor: @laurence_halstead_edits VFX Supervisor: Rob Ward Compositor:@stevmcn Composer: @mr_seymour_milton Sound Designer: @_inesadriana_ #cinematography #stopmotion #directorofphotography #bakeoff #gbbo #stopmotionanimation #multiplane #animation #paulhollywood #blinkink #dop

“A Dying World” premiered at this year’s @annecyfestival , this was a project I found a lot of joy in lighting. I took a mini break from W+G to return to London and light a few of these key scenes. I remember feeling lucky to be juggling two wildly different projects. @laurentsai has dreamed up a stunning and atmospheric world that was a real pleasure to light. Her work within this world pans a few mediums, all of which are really impressive and great to be working within. Find out more over on @unreal.is.me Huge thanks to @rosco_labs for donating a selection of their LED panels, they were key in helping us shape the subtle and moody color tones the film asked for. Combined with some lovely, mad sets by @vaguemonkey and a really unique puppet duo from @archfilmstudio , animated by @tobiasfouracre and produced at @linguini.studio by @galactic.nicolas & Jenny Shaughnessy. This project really had a beautiful little film family on it. We made a short video showing how we adapted the Rosco Dash into our setup — link in bio if you’re curious. #StopMotion #Cinematography #LightingDesign #IndieAnimation #Annecy2025 #Rosco #BehindTheScenes #ShortFilm #LaurenTsai #Aardman #LinguiniStudios

Loved every minute of my time on @shaunthesheep Season 7. It’s out now on @bbciplayer and it was crafted by the most wholesome crew. Honoured to have joined them, and a big thank you to Charles Copping for having me. #ShaunTheSheep #AardmanAnimations #StopMotion #StopMotionAnimation #LightingDesign #CameraWork #BehindTheScenes #OnSet #LightingAndCamera #SetLighting #AnimationLighting #Cinematography #VisualStorytelling #MiniatureSet #PracticalEffects #TVProduction #AnimationSeries #FilmCrew #MadeWithLove #UKAnimation #BTS

Well, it’s been Oscar-nominated, became the most-watched program of 2024, and is officially the most-watched animated show since records began. Plus… it’s still certified 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. 🤟🏻 It’s amazing to see all the heart and genius poured into this film getting the recognition it deserves. A massive pleasure to witness. Here’s another scene I was excited to light, featuring the farmer from #shaunthesheep #WallaceAndGromit #AardmanAnimations #Cinematography #Filmmaking #StopMotion #Animation #BehindTheScenes #FilmProduction #DirectorOfPhotography #SetLife

A few more favs here… My inner child was very excited to shoot Gromit on his bike, tearing it up through the city. The detail and scale of these sets made these shots a real joy to light up. A bit of Wallace at the piano and of course, a killer chase scene where Wallace ends up water skying through a toilet tent and into Farmers trailer 😬🐑.
