The Scheme

The University of Wales, Newport Animation Department at the Skillset Screen Academy Wales are offering a one-month residency to an experienced animator/director working in any medium (2D/3D Stop motion/3D CG). This will take place between 3rd May to 4th June 2010.

You will be an inspiring creative who can work quickly and economically with students to develop an innovative time-based piece of work on a topic of your choice. You will be someone who can explore and explode the conventions of the medium of animation to produce either a narrative or non-narrative film.

• The successful director will work with a small group of students over a month long period to a complete a 30-90 seconds film with sound.

• He/She will deliver a 2 day workshop for under/post-graduate students relating to their specialism.

• He/She will deliver a public screening of his/her work at the end of the project. This will form part of the degree show activities in June 2010.

The scheme will be open to all English speaking European filmmakers, including UK nationals, and we would particularly welcome applications from filmmakers with experience in non-uk animation practice, in keeping with our broad cultural remit.

Fee
You will be paid the handsome sum of £2000 plus accommodation.
