"Obviously I can understand why people would want to try and experiment [with it], but at the moment it's too easy to create rubbish... there's a veil of blandness that seems to cover everything. And that's where the artist comes in to make it something more individual and more unique."
"The danger of it is that while some animators and artists have spent years painstakingly creating with blood, sweat and tears, others can press a button and say they're an artist."
"The best thing for us to do is experiment. To be clear, I don't mean that the next Wallace & Gromit movie will be AI. Don't worry on that score."
Nick Park and Peter Lord, producers of Wallace & Gromit, caution against excessive dependence on artificial intelligence in animation. While the team has historically used technology to enhance their clay animation work, Park expresses concern that animators increasingly rely too heavily on AI, which he believes produces bland, generic results. He argues that true artistry requires human effort and individual vision to create unique work. Lord acknowledges AI's dramatic potential impact but reassures audiences that the next Wallace & Gromit film will not be AI-generated. Aardman Animations plans to experiment with AI cautiously while maintaining their commitment to traditional craftsmanship and creative excellence.
