Criw Creu - Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru

I was thrilled to be offered the opportunity to work with National Theatre Wales on ‘Criw Creu’, a new national project with support from Urdd Gobaith Cymru and Literature Wales, offering access to the arts for young people across Wales. I also thoroughly enjoyed creating the logo, bringing all the important elements of the project together.

After conducting workshops with three different secondary schools, I then went onto create a unique animation based on those sessions, and around a song they had previously created with Wales’ Children’s Poet Laureate, Casi Wyn.

I was so excited to share the finished products, as they’re all brimming with colour, and are unique to contemporary young Welsh Voices!

Enjoy the animation for Ysgol Tryfan, called ‘Cân y Dref’

Blotdeuwedd - COP26

This is certainly the biggest project of 2021 for me, being commissioned by Future Generations Commissioner for Wales to create a short film that would be shown at COP26 in Glasgow.

I was tasked with incorporating the magical snippets of animation throughout the film, emphasising on the etherial journey of Blot-deuwedd and the little girl who sees her when no one else can. It’s a heartwarming story of the hope and change the next generation will bring to our world through caring for ourselves and each other.

It was a privilege to work with an amazing crew, from narrative, script writer and director Iola Ynyr, to amazing actors such as Ceri Lloyd and Iwan Fôn, and of course the wonderful children and staff of Ysgol Rhosgadfan. Beautifully filmed by Steve Kingston and costume designer Lois Prys with her magic eyes, accompanied by stunning music throughout by Osian Gwynedd, and meticulously finished by editor Sam Rhys.
