Filmmaker's stop-motion success

Kidderminster-born, Black Country stalwart Nick J Townsend has picked up awards for his incredible music videos, including film festivals galore for his claymation creation 'Unpopular'.

Over the years, he's turned Hartlebury Common in to Bondi Beach and turned Stourbridge town centre in to a zombie apocalypse.

In his first-ever foray into the kind of animation you see in Wallace & Gromit or Shaun The Sheep, he's already picking up awards from international judges.

Nick shares with Nina how he wanted to make something far more authentic than what AI could turn out. He says that he's been surprised by the reaction home and abroad.
