CV
Lucy has been making animated
films since the age of 14. She studied computer programming way back in 1989,
but then went to Newport Film School to study animation craft where she made
two 16mm films about big puppets, and plants. She then started freelance
work making animated title sequences for TV before going to the National
Film and TV School in 1994. She made three 35mm films, her graduation film
BIRD BECOMES BIRD being made in Yekaterinburg , Russia , where she learned
a huge amount from the artists there. It subsequently won the Golden Hugo
in 1997, was short listed for the student Academy Awards Nominations, British
Animation Awards, and won other awards around the globe too.
She is now a digital convert, and makes
interactive programmes for CD-ROM and the web, as well as short
films using all sorts of digital ways and means. WAITING for
S4C won a special mention at A Corto in ‘03, THE GATES
OF HEAVEN won the Jose Abel prize at Cinanima in ‘05.
Committed to both making and screening short
films, she participates in competitive festivals all over the world,
helps organize the Same
Difference Film Festival shorts programme, and the British Animation
Awards web site.
