Go behind the scenes on the set of Creature Comforts.
Nick Park’s Creature Comforts took the classic documentary style and applied it to the lives of wild animals and pets, matching a cast of clay characters with human voices to charming effect. Originating from Nick’s 1989 Academy Award®-winning short film, Creature Comforts was unique for using unscripted vox-pop interviews with the British public in a stop motion series that has become an Aardman classic.
The success of the short film led to two TV series, which broadcast on ITV, and an iconic series of commercials for the Electricity Board’s ‘Heat Electric’ campaign. Creature Comforts also went across the pond to the USA where the unique format was used once again to tell real-life stories from people in America. The claymation characters portray very human traits and contemplate absurdities of the universe such as, ""Do bald eagles ever feel self-conscious?"" and ""What makes pigs feel sexy?""

Very interesting, but there are some parts where it's really hard to hear the narration because the music is too loud.

Man this is amazing. I was having a bit of a hard time adjusting to the new world and all these fast moving pictures that we see everywhere nowadays, and you have brought me so much joy in these past few days that I've been watching all the episodes. I got so jealous but then I admire you guys so much! Thank you so much for the effort. You did an amazing job.

The voice breakdown guys job is so simple and yet probably so hard to master. I didnt even consider this being a job but it makes so much more sense to have one. Also the guy who talks about he has 0 vlue wgat the man looks like other than him being a ginger tom. So thats what he is and i think thats such a cool concept because youre not hindered by what they look like so you cant force how he looks onto the characyer, you get to interpret it all on your own what the guy looks like. Which is super neat to me

Such a shame that a documentary which extolls a series which shone through its use of human voices, should include such awful sound mixing that it's own human voice is drowned out. Did the editor watch the finished piece before it was posted?

Was this actually made by Aardman Animation or someone linked to them? The voiceovers seem way off, with the narration being way too quiet in relation to the music playing in the background, especially at the beginning. Anyway, great idea to interview people and then use that as a natural conversation for animals.

@Javin007 2 ай бұрын

Who the hell edited this? It's like they actively didn't want you to watch it. Numerous places the music is so loud the narrator can't be understood at all. At the 4:36 mark, they even have 3 people talking simultaneously at the same volume. I had to turn it off then.
