Creative Cardiff’s 10th Birthday
For Creative Cardiff’s 10th birthday, I created a three minute stop motion and live action film celebrating the city’s creative energy. The piece brings together the four Creative Cardiff pillars Connected, Collaborative, Creative, Cardiff through the work of four commissioned artists Liv Bartholomew, Steffan Dafydd, Beth Jones and Jessica Williams.
How it was made
The video was created using a toolbox of handmade Creative Cardiff logos in different sizes and materials. I animated and filmed them across real locations in the Cardiff Capital Region, capturing both the landscape and the creative character of the city.
All animated in found locations
All of the animation sequences were created in public spaces and found locations across the Cardiff Capital Region.
Meet the four artists
I created four mini documentaries about each artist before making the main film to understand their work and represent their practice in a way that truly reflects who they are.
Liv Bartholomew – Connected
Beth Jones – Creative
Steffan Dafydd – Collaborative
Jessica Williams – Cardiff
Social Media Videos
To help promote the mini documentaries and the project as a whole, I created shorter interview clips with each artist. In these videos, they introduce their pillar and share a glimpse into their craft, giving the audience a chance to learn more about their creative process and the work behind it.
