It’s not a secret that the Wallace & Gromit guys, aka Aardman Animations, have a wicked sense of humour.

This time, they’ve used their wickedness to (perhaps) blow off steam about the very tedious client conference call – the one that goes around and around in its own little loop and never gets anywhere.

Visualise This is a series of animation clips that make fun of the comments in one of those conference calls. It’s engaging because we’ve all been there. And that’s a very good thing for Aardman, which gets to show off its capabilities to a rapt and smiling audience.

Those capabilities cover CGI, live action, 2-D, stop motion and effects work.
