Christmas Comes to Athy College


Great excitement as past pupil Seamus Malone, famous for his work on Chicken Run, Wallace and Grommit, Shaun the Sheep, gave a lecture and workshop on animation to a capacity crowd in the college on Thursday night. Seamus received an Emmy for his direction of Shaun the Sheep last year and gave the audience a great insight into how animation really works.
Aardman Studios where Seamus works are just about to release their latest movie "Arthur Christmas" and Seamus gave a background tour of its creation.
