Peter and David, who had only recently established Aardman, mentioned they were on the lookout for an animator to come and help with various projects, and Nick ended up visiting Bristol for 2 summers to help them mostly with their work for BBC TV. At the time Nick was making his graduation film, which was to become the much loved "A Grand Day Out". Nick invited Aardman's Peter Lord and David Sproxton to the National Film and Television School as guest speakers, having seen their animated films and Morph on television. However, the labour-intensive nature of creating an animation in this way meant that Nick’s film wasn’t complete when he finished his film course. Nick created a bald inventor and his intelligent dog assistant for his graduation project, and used traditional stop-motion techniques to bring his characters to life.
