Quite a fine start to a career!
The competition, run by, set the challenge of creating a short animated film - in any format from CGI to stop-motion animation - on the theme of 'success against the odds'.
Aardman judged the numerous entries by considering creativity, technical competency and how well the animation fitted with the given theme.
Congratulations to Matt Rogers and all the other contestants!

The inspiration for my animation came from when I was watching my brother run the London marathon. Whilst watching, I saw wheelchair athletes rush past. This became the basis for my animation. I decided to set the animation in the build up for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
I am most looking forward to the workshop and witnessing what goes on behind the scenes at Aardman. Hopefully it will inspire my own animations and better myself as an animator.
