Dan Richards

Dan Richards, A+C Studios’ stop-motion animation director was 12 years old when he made his first stop motion animation. Little more than a decade later, he graduated from the prestigious Bristol School of Animation, going straight to work at Aardman Animations on the animated film Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. After the film wrapped, Dan decided to set up on his own. A+C Studios was born! Dan still works closely on every project; leading the storytelling process from conception, scripting and storyboarding, model making through to animation and of course to the final cut.  A+C Studios
