Art Director- Art directors are those who oversea the production of anything from models to set creation. This would be considered one of the hardest jobs in Aardman Studios as since all the set and Characters are made by hand, there's so much to oversea.

Sculptures-  Sculptures are the ones who sculpt and make the individual pieces for what piece that have been tasked with creating usually there many sculptures working at the same on Aardman Production so the job is lessoned however, Every single movement must be sculpted out into its own single piece so that itself is a hard job.















Animator- This is the person who shoots each frame that goes into the end product, and every model that is created is positioned into each frame shot by shot then taken down and replace with the next frame. They would do this so that when its all been shot they replay into one continuous shot with no jumping shots.
