What does it really take to develop an animated feature in today’s UK industry?
With more studios and filmmakers exploring feature-length storytelling than ever before, this session offers two candid case studies on the long road from idea to screen. From development funding to pitching, markets, co-productions and the realities of getting a project off the ground.
First we’ll be joined by managing director and producer Camillia Deakin. Camilla will share how Lupus Films’ latest feature Kensuke’s Kingdom
adapted Michael Morpurgo’s beloved novel into an award-winning animated feature, co-produced with Welsh talent.
Then BAFTA-winning filmmaker Will Anderson will lift the lid on developing an independent animated documentary feature – sharing lessons from his own projects and the realities of trying to get a feature off the ground as an independent filmmaker.
Beth sydd wir ei angen i ddatblygu ffilm nodwedd animeiddiedig ym Mhrydain?
Gyda mwy o stiwdios a gwneuthurwyr ffilmiau yn archwilio dulliau adrodd straeon hyd nodwedd nag erioed, mae'r sesiwn yma’n cynnig dwy astudiaeth achos gonest o’r daith hir o'r syniad i'r sgrin – o gyllid datblygu i gyflwyno syniad, marchnadoedd, cyd-gynyrchiadau, straeon ffurf hir a phopeth rhyngddynt.
I ddechrau bydd y rheolwr gyfarwyddwr a'r cynhyrchydd Camillia Deakin yn ymuno â ni. Bydd Camilla’n rhannu sut gwnaeth ffilm ddiweddaraf stiwdio Lupus Films, Kensuke’s Kingdom, addasu nofel annwyl Michael Morpurgo yn ffilm animeiddiedig lwyddiannus a enillodd wobr Emmy, wedi’i chyd-gynhyrchu â doniau o Gymru.
Yna bydd Will Anderson, gwneuthurwr ffilmiau sydd wedi ennill gwobr BAFTA, yn rhannu ei hanes o ddatblygu ffilm ddogfen animeiddiedig annibynnol – gan rannu gwersi o’i brosiectau ei hunan a realiti ceisio cychwyn ffilm fel gwneuthurwr ffilmiau annibynnol.
