Ffresh 2012 Shortlist
Our students have achieved five shortlisted pieces in four categories at this years Ffresh Festival Awards. This is the second year running that Trinity Saint David have been placed third in the total number of finalists shortlisted for the awards.
The shortlisted entries are:
Interactive Media Category
Chris Carbin - Moustown 3D Game
Judges comments: “Mousetown is a point and click adventure game which has interesting characters, dialogue and environments. The presentation throughout was good and I particularly liked the set design. Overall this game showed a good level of game development skills.”
Postgraduate Fiction Category
Chris Marsh - The Passing of Mother Prudence film
Judge's comments: “Loved the David Lynch esque horror. Really creepy. Would have loved more narrative. The distorted sound was rather brilliant. Fantastic sense of drama and horror of what’s in the cupboard.”
Experimental Category
Liam Leeson - Kryptonite film
Judges comments: “This film has a creative drive and pace, and is experimental in terms of its free, eclectic narration. The use of time and space is resulting in an intriguing moving image that clearly conveys the desire to fly and its limitations. The use of locations in the film adds to a sense of urge to move, and the rhythm of the film strengthens this. Both the camera work and editing deserves a mention for a thriving pace and visual intrigue. The pace of the film takes the viewer onto a journey throughout, and leaves an impression of an unsettling feeling.”
Welsh Media Category
Susanna Bowen - Degeneration Disk Disease film
Judge's comments: “A documentary about Wayne Morgan from Pontyberem who suffers from a spinal condition. The programme follows Wayne as he prepares physically and mentally for the challenges of the British Cycling Championship.
It was clear from the off that the producer had gained the absolute trust of Wayne and his family. Their contributions are natural and full of emotion. The story is presented with a natural clear-sightedness and there are worthwhile contributions also from members of the wider community. The program conveys a sense of the strong community spirit in the Gwendraeth Valley.”
The following were also submitted into the Ffresh: Student Moving Image Festival Of Wales for consideration in the 2012 awards.
