Dan discovered his love for animation at twelve, creating his first stop-motion film. He trained at the Bristol School of Animation before joining Aardman Animations, where he worked on Wallace and Gromit The Curse of the Were Rabbit. Those formative years shaped his creative approach, combining strong character performance with a deep respect for the handmade process.
