If you respect the audience enough, they can take onboard many things.

We can do things that we never could before. Stop-motion lets you build tiny little worlds, and computers make that world even more believable.

As I get on and films take four years to complete, I tend to have a hankering for very short projects so you can move on to the next idea. It's the ideas I'm interested in. What comes out of your head.

Get out and make films. There are so many cameras now to suit any budget, so there are no excuses.

It's very hard to adapt something. You end up changing it too much to make a good movie out of it. I prefer to work with things that are custom made for my kind of animation.

With some CGI, I think the brain slightly perceives that things aren't real. There's no gravity, the light's not quite real, the shadows aren't quite real.
