Huw Jones

Mae gofyn bod yna ddrws agored i’r diwydiant i bobl o gefndiroedd amrywiol, ac mae angen rhoi cyfle i’r rhai sydd yn y diwydiant ar hyn o bryd i uwchraddio eu sgiliau’n gyson.

Mae Cyfle wedi bod yn weithgar ym mhob un o’r meysydd hyn, gan dderbyn clod uchel a chyson am safon yr hyfforddiant mae’n ei ddarparu a’i drefnu. Yn bwysicach na dim, mae yna gydnabyddiaeth fod hyfforddiant Cyfle yn berthnasol iawn i’r byd gwaith a bod safon yr hyfforddeion sy’n dilyn y cyrsiau yn gyson uchel. Unwaith eto, mae’n braf nodi’r canran uchel o’r rhai fu ar gyrsiau newydd-ddyfodiaid Cyfle sy’n llwyddo i gael gwaith yn y diwydiant yn dilyn eu cwrs.

Yn 2009 fe fydd y drefn o ariannu hyfforddiant gan y diwydiant yng Nghymru yn newid, gyda chyfraniadau ariannol aelodau TAC ac S4C bellach yn cael eu cyfeirio at y Fframwaith Hyfforddi o dan adain Skillset Cymru. Fe fydd yna her newydd i Cyfle, wrth i nifer o’r swyddogaethau y bu’n gyfrifol amdanynt yn y gorffennol gael eu gweithredu gan Skillset Cymru a Thasglu’r Fframwaith. Swyddogaeth Cyfle o hyn allan fydd darparu hyfforddiant i gyfarfod â gofynion y diwydiant, gan gynnig am gyllid ar gyfer ei gynlluniau trwy system dender. Bydd adeiladu ar y berthynas gydweithredol dda gyda Skillset Cymru yn bwysig, fel hefyd y bydd y gwaith o adnabod gofynion cwmnïau unigol, gan anelu at greu atebion hyfforddi ymarferol a chost effeithiol i sefydliadau sydd â disgwyliadau sy’n medru amrywio llawer. Fe fydd dealltwriaeth arbennig Cyfle o’r angen sydd yng Nghymru am dalent sy’n medru gweithio drwy’r Gymraeg a’r Saesneg, yn sylfaen bwysig i’r gweithgareddau yma.

Mae’r llwyddiant i greu gwarged ariannol bychan yn 2008 yn galonogol er mwyn wynebu her y dyfodol yn hyderus ac fe hoffwn ddiolch i Iona a’r tîm am flwyddyn o weithredu egnïol ac effeithiol ac i Fwrdd yr Ymddiriedolwyr am eu cefnogaeth gyson.

There has to be an open door into the industry for people of diverse backgrounds, and those already in the industry need to be given the chance to update and enrich their skills regularly.

Cyfle has been active in all these fields, receiving high praise for the quality of the training it provides and arranges. Most importantly, there is widespread recognition that Cyfle training is highly relevant to the world of work and that the quality of its trainees is consistently high. Once again, it’s good to be able to note the very high proportion of those following Cyfle new entrants courses who succeeded in gaining employment in the industry at the end of their courses.

2009 is the year when the mechanism by which the industry in Wales funds training will change, with the financial contributions made by TAC members and S4C now being channelled to the Training Framework under the auspices of Skillset Cymru. For Cyfle there will be new challenges, as several of the core functions for which it has traditionally been responsible now transfer to Skillset Cymru and the Framework Taskforce. Cyfle’s role henceforth will be to provide training which meets industry needs, bidding for funding for its schemes through a tender process. It will be important to build on the excellent relationship with Skillset Cymru as well as to continue to identify the needs of individual companies, with the aim of creating practical and effective training solutions for organisations which may have a wide range of expectations and priorities. Cyfle’s particular understanding of the importance in Wales of talent which can work through Welsh and English will underpin these activities.

The success in delivering a small financial surplus in 2008 is a heartening basis from which to face the challenge of the future with confidence and I would like to thank Iona and her team for a year of energetic and efficient operation and the Board of Trustees for their consistent support.

THe evening underlined THe CommiTmenT To Training sHown by Cyfle’s HisToriC funders – s4C, TaC, THe welsH assembly governmenT, skillseT and skillseT Cymru, and THe ConTribuTion of individuals wiTHin THe indusTry as Trainers, members of sTeering groups and Training CommiTTees. THe oTHer CruCial ComponenT, of Course, is Cyfle’s own sTaff, wHo embraCed THe CHallenges of 2008 wiTH passion, enTHusiasm, and a loT of Hard work.

Prif thema gweithgareddau craidd Cyfle yn 2008 oedd ein cynlluniau arloesol i ddarparu hyfforddiant aml-lwyfan ac i ddatblygu hyfforddiant mewn meysydd blaenoriaeth newydd:- Ymddiriedaeth a Chydymffurfiaeth; Amddiffyn Plant; Ymarfer Proffesiynol mewn Animeiddio Digidol ac Arweinyddiaeth a Rheolaeth. Cyflwynwyd hefyd gyrsiau newydd ar gyfer cynhyrchwyr ffilm a chwrs oedd yn hwyluso mynediad pobl anabl i’r diwydiant. Llwyddwyd hefyd i gynyddu’n darpariaeth ar gyfer pobl lawrydd ac i barhau i gynnig hyfforddiant trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg.

Bydd y cyfnod o 2009 ymlaen yn creu sialensiau pellach. Bydd y dulliau traddodiadol o ariannu’n newid mewn hinsawdd economaidd ansicr, ac wrth i’r diwydiant ddod i delerau â realaeth newidiadau cyflym y byd digidol.

Mae yna bwyslais sy’n cynyddu’n gyflym ar ddatblygiad proffesiynol parhaus, yn arbennig felly mewn meysydd megis technoleg ddigidol, syniadau creadigol, a sgiliau busnes a rheolaeth. Rydym hefyd yn nodi angen cyflogwyr am welliant yn y sgiliau sylfaenol sydd gan y gweithlu yn ein diwydiant ni, fel mewn sawl diwydiant arall. Maes arall pwysig i’w ddatblygu yw’r un sy’n cael ei adnabod fel “llythrennedd yn y cyfryngau” - arf hanfodol i alluogi unigolion a chymunedau i ddatblygu sgiliau ar gyfer bywyd a gwaith yn yr oes ddigidol. I gloi, rydym yn cymeradwyo ymrwymiad Llywodraeth y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol i’r iaith Gymraeg ac edrychwn ymlaen at ymwneud yn gadarnhaol gyda’i Strategaeth ar gyfer Addysg Trwy Gyfrwng y Gymraeg a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar.

Mae angen i Cyfle fod yn greadigol, arloesol, â’i nod yn glir wrth ymateb i’r sialensiau a’r cyfleoedd hyn. Fe wnawn hyn trwy weithio’n agos gyda Skillset Cymru a’i Fframwaith Tasglu Hyfforddi a thrwy gynnal ein perthynas gref gyda’r cwmnïau annibynnol a’r darlledwyr yng Nghymru. Fe gydweithiwn gyda sectorau addysg uwch a phellach yng Nghymru a datblygu ein rhaglenni estyn allan i gymunedau. Byddwn yn bwrw ymlaen yn egnïol i ddatblygu’n rhaglenni hyfforddiant aml-lwyfan arloesol, sy’n canolbwyntio ar anghenion y diwydiant, a gyda golwg ar y farchnad fyd-eang yn ogystal â’r farchnad leol, ac fe fyddwn yn sicrhau y bydd staff Cyfle ei hun yn cael y cyfle i ddatblygu eu sgiliau hwythau er mwyn ateb y gofynion hyn.

The key themes of Cyfle’s core activities in 2008 were our innovative multi-platform training provision, the development of training in new priority areas such as Trust and Compliance, Child Protection, Professional Practice in Digital Animation and Leadership and Management, as well as new courses for emerging film producers and the targeting of disabled people into the industry. We were also able to increase our provision for freelancers and continue to offer training through the medium of Welsh.

2009 and onwards produces further challenges, as traditional funding processes change, against a background of an unstable economic climate, and an industry that is coming to terms with the realities of a fast changing digital world.

There is a rapidly growing emphasis on continuing professional development, particularly in areas such as digital technology, creative ideas, and business and management skills. We also note the requirement of employers for improved basic skills amongst employees within our sector as in many others, and the importance of media literacy as an essential tool to enable individuals and communities to develop life and work skills for the digital age. Finally, we applaud the Welsh Assembly Government’s commitment to the Welsh language and look forward to engaging positively with its recently published Welsh Medium Education Strategy.

Cyfle needs to be creative, innovative and highly focused in its response to these challenges and opportunities. We will do this by working closely with Skillset Cymru and its Training Framework Taskforce and by maintaining our strong relationships with the independent companies and broadcasters in Wales. We will collaborate with the Higher and Further Education sectors in Wales and develop our ‘outreach’ programmes to communities. We will forge ahead with our innovative, multi-platform training programmes, focused on industry needs, with a view to the global as well as the home market and we will ensure that Cyfle staff are given the opportunity to develop their own skills in order to meet these challenges.

Hyd: 6 misNifer: 6 o bobl

Duration: 6 months Places: 6 people

Mewn cydweithrediad â BBC Cymru, llwyddodd Cyfle i ddiwallu’r gofyn am sgiliau newydd gododd yn sgil llwyddiant Doctor Who drwy hyfforddi chwe unigolyn mewn meysydd arbenigol. Roedd pob swydd hyfforddi yn para chwe mis, gyda dyddiadau cychwyn amrywiol.

Derbyniodd yr hyfforddeion hyfforddiant ar-waith gyda thâl wrth weithio ar y gyfres enwog. Ariennir swyddi hyfforddi’r Hyfforddai Adeiladu, Golygydd dan Hyfforddiant a’r Cydlynydd Ôl-gynhyrchu dan Hyfforddiant o dan gynllun Cydraddoldeb gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru. Roedd y meysydd eraill yn cynnwys Rigiwr dan Hyfforddiant, Trefnydd Lleoliadau dan Hyfforddiant a Golygydd dan Hyfforddiant.

Ers cwblhau’r cynllun, mae un hyfforddai wedi derbyn cytundeb gan BBC Cymru ac mae un arall wedi gweithio’n llawrydd ar nifer o gynyrchiadau cyn derbyn swydd barhaol gyda Theledu Telesgop. Mae tri o’r hyfforddeion wedi cael gwaith llawrydd rheolaidd o fewn y diwydiant, gan gynnwys BBC Cymru. Mae hyfforddai arall yn dilyn gwaith o fewn y cyfryngau creadigol gan ddefnyddio’i sgiliau trosglwyddadwy mewn sectorau eraill sydd â gofynion tebyg.

In collaboration with BBC Cymru Wales, Cyfle addressed new skills requirements created by the success of Doctor Who by training six individuals in specialist posts. The duration of each post was six months, with different start dates.

The trainees received paid, on-the-job training whilst working on the award winning series. This included a Construction Trainee, a Trainee Editor, and a Post Production Co-ordinator, who were part of a Welsh Assembly Government funded Equality scheme. The other posts included a Trainee Rigger, a Locations Trainee and a Trainee Editor.

Since completing their scheme, one trainee has secured a contract with BBC Cymru Wales and another trainee worked as a freelance on various productions before securing a permanent post with Teledu Telesgop. Three of the trainees have found regular freelance work within the industry, including BBC Cymru Wales. Another trainee is pursuing work in the media industry and using their transferable skills within neighbouring sectors.

stiwdio hyfforddi animeiddio digidol digital animation training studio

meHefin 2007 —meHefin 2008

june 2007 — june 2008



Cwblhaodd chwech o hyfforddeion o Orllewin Cymru a’r Cymoedd y Stiwdio Hyfforddi Animeiddio Digidol yn 2008. Roedd y cynllun yn rhedeg mewn cydweithrediad â chwmnïau animeiddio sydd gyda chomisiynau gan S4C, sef Calon, Dinamo a Griffilms. Nod y Stiwdio oedd darparu hyfforddiant i safon y diwydiant drwy gyfuniad o hyfforddiant stiwdio a lleoliadau galwedigaethol yn lleol ac yn rhyngwladol. Roedd Bwrdd Llywio gyda chynrychiolwyr o’r diwydiant lleol, yn cwrdd bob chwe wythnos i lywio’r hyfforddiant.

Roedd wyth mis cyntaf y cynllun yn cael ei redeg yn y stiwdio hyfforddi, lle’r oedd yr hyfforddeion yn derbyn hyfforddiant arbenigol i ddefnyddio pedwar prif becyn meddalwedd animeiddio’r diwydiant: Toon Boom Studio, Flash, After Effects a Maya. Cwblhaodd yr hyfforddeion gyfanswm o chwe phrosiect unigol a phrosiect grwp yn ystod y cyfnod hwn mewn ymateb i friffiau wedi eu gosod gan y diwydiant. Dilynwyd hyn gan leoliad gwaith am fis gyda chwmni animeiddio o Wlad Thai, Imagimax Studios, ar gynllun cyfnewid diwylliannol i rannu gwybodaeth ac arferion gorau. Daeth y cynllun i ben ym Mehefin 2008, wedi i’r hyfforddeion gwblhau gwaith ar leoliad am dri mis gyda stiwdios animeiddio lleol yng Nghymru. Roedd yr hyfforddeion yn derbyn lwfans hyfforddi wythnosol trwy gydol y cynllun. Ers cwblhau’r hyfforddiant, mae dau hyfforddai wedi cael swyddi llawn amser mewn 2D gyda chwmnïau animeiddio lleol ac un arall bellach yn cynllunio gwaith animeiddio ar gyfer cwmni graffeg symudol. Mae tri o’r hyfforddeion yn gweithio ar gytundebau animeiddio llawrydd.

Six trainees from West Wales and the Valleys completed the Digital Animation Training Studio in collaboration with S4C’s commissioned animation companies Calon, Dinamo and Griffilms. The aim of the Studio was to provide industry level training through a combination of studio based learning and local and international vocational industry placements. The Studio was steered by a group of local practitioners who met every six weeks.

The initial eight months of the scheme was spent in the training studio, where trainees received expert tuition in the use of the four main animation industry software packages: Toon Boom Studio, Flash, After Effects and Maya. In total, six individual projects and a group project were completed by the trainees during this period in response to briefs set by industry. This was followed by a month long industry work placement with Thai animation company Imagimax Studios, a cultural exchange to share knowledge and best practice. A three month work placement with local animation studios in Wales concluded the scheme in June 2008. Trainees received a weekly training allowance throughout the scheme.

Since completing the training, two trainees have secured full-time work in 2D with local animation studios, one trainee now designs animations for a motion graphics company, and three trainees are busy with freelance animation contracts.

Cychwynnodd y cynllun gyda chwrs rhagarweiniol dwys am gyfnod o fis yng nghanolfan hyfforddi Cyfle, Caerdydd. Yn dilyn hyn, derbyniodd yr hyfforddeion hyfforddiant galwedigaethol ar gynyrchiadau ffilm ar hyd y DU yn ogystal â chyrsiau byrion allanol. Ar ddiwedd y cwrs, trefnwyd rhaglen gloi oedd yn cynnwys cyngor gyrfaol ar ysgrifennu CV, sgiliau marchnata a negydu a chyngor ynglyn â bod yn weithiwr llawrydd. Yr hyfforddeion hyn oedd ymhlith y cyntaf o hyfforddeion Cyfle i weithio tuag at Dystysgrif Ragarweiniol City & Guilds ar gyfer y Diwydiant Clyweled.

Ar ôl cwblhau’r cynllun hyfforddi, llwyddodd un hyfforddai i sicrhau cytundeb chwe mis gyda Tornado Films ac aeth dau ymlaen i weithio’n llawrydd ar ffilm nodwedd Skellig. Aeth y pedwerydd hyfforddai ymlaen i weithio ar ei brosiectau ei hun a cheisio am waith llawrydd.

Yng Nghyfrifiad Cyflogaeth Skillset 2006 tynnwyd sylw at dan-gynrychiolaeth unigolion o gefndiroedd croenddu a lleiafrifoedd ethnig yng ngweithlu’r cyfryngau newydd a theledu. Roedd y cynllun llawn amser hwn yn rhan o gyfres o gynlluniau mewn cydweithrediad â BBC Cymru, Boomerang, S4C a Skillset er mwyn ymrafael â’r diffyg yma.

Dros gyfnod o 12 mis, derbyniodd pedwar Hyfforddai Cynhyrchu Aml-Lwyfan ac un Hyfforddai Camera, hyfforddiant yn canolbwyntio ar ofynion y diwydiant. Ar gyfer yr hyfforddeion aml-lwyfan, roedd hyn yn cynnwys saith wythnos o hyfforddiant mewnol gan weithio i friff pwrpasol ar gyfer Doctor Who a Torchwood. Aeth yr hyfforddeion ymlaen i ddefnyddio’u sgiliau newydd ar leoliad gydag adrannau amrywiol yn BBC Cymru a gyda chwmnïau cynhyrchu yng Nghymru. Daeth y cynllun, oedd yn darparu lwfans hyfforddi wythnosol, i ben ym mis Medi 2008.

Ar ddiwedd y cynllun, sicrhaodd dau hyfforddai gytundebau gyda BBC Cymru, mae dau yn derbyn hyfforddiant arbenigol pellach ac mae’r Hyfforddai Camera wedi bod yn gweithio’n llawrydd.

In 2006, Skillset’s Employment Census identified the need to address the under-representation of people from black or minority ethnic backgrounds within the new media and television sector. This full-time scheme was part of a series of collaborations with BBC Cymru Wales, Boomerang, S4C and Skillset which aimed to address this under-representation.

Over a period of 12 months, four Multi-Platform Production Trainees and one Camera Trainee received industry focused training. For the multi-platform trainees, this included a seven week, in-house training period, which involved industry briefs for Doctor Who and Torchwood. The trainees then went on to use their newly acquired skills on work placements with various BBC Cymru Wales departments and with selected production companies in Wales. The scheme, which provided trainees with a weekly allowance, finished in September 2008.

On completion, two trainees gained contracts with BBC Cymru Wales, two trainees went on to receive further specialised training and the Camera Trainee has been working freelance.

Labordy Hyfforddi Animeiddio Digidol oedd yn cynnig lwfans hyfforddi ar gyfer chwech o bobl broffesiynol o Orllewin Cymru a’r Cymoedd. Roedd hwn yn gynllun peilot wedi’i gynllunio er mwyn darparu hyfforddiant ar lefel uchel i animeiddwyr 3D a 2D mewn cynhyrchu gwaith digidol, gan ddefnyddio meddalwedd Flash, Maya ac After Effects yn bennaf. Roedd yr hyfforddiant yn digwydd mewn amgylchedd stiwdio ble roedd yr hyfforddeion yn cydweithio ar gysyniad creadigol, o’r sgript i’r sgrin. Roedd y diwydiant yn arwain y cynllun, gyda hyfforddwyr arbenigwyr yn darparu’r hyfforddiant, yn cynnwys Rick Villeneuve, Matt Leonard a Tim Allen. Erbyn diwedd y cynllun, cynhyrchwyd Lloer Leidr, sef animeiddiad pum munud o hyd a all gael ei gyflwyno i wyliau ffilmiau byrion, ynghyd â’r fersiwn Saesneg, Moon Pirates.

Ar ôl cwblhau’r cynllun, enillodd un hyfforddai le ar gynllun Insight Out NESTA, sef rhaglen fydd yn rhoi cymorth i gychwyn busnes animeiddio. Mae un hyfforddai bellach yn animeiddio ar gyfer y diwydiant hedfan, un arall yn creu ac yn dylunio ar gyfer stiwdio gemau a’r tri animeiddiwr sy’n weddill yn gweithio’n llawrydd gyda stiwdios lleol.

A paid, three month Digital Animation Training Lab scheme for six professionals from West Wales and the Valleys. This was a pilot scheme designed to provide advanced learning in the production of digital animation for 3D and 2D animators, primarily using Flash, Maya and After Effects software. The training took place in a learning studio environment, within which the trainees collaborated on a creative concept, from script to screen. It was led by industry and delivered by specialised tutors, including Rick Villeneuve, Matt Leonard and Tim Allen. The end result was the production of a commercially marketable five minute animated film, Moon Pirates, which also has a Welsh version, Lloer Leidr.

After finishing the scheme, one trainee successfully secured a winning place on the NESTA Insight Out Scheme, a programme to assist in setting up an animation business. One trainee now animates for a company working in the aviation industry, another trainee creates and designs for a gaming studio and the remaining three animators are working freelance with local studios.

Cynllun 10 mis, llawn amser ar gyfer pedwar o gynhyrchwyr addawol mewn cydweithrediad â Boom Films, sef cerbyd ffilm Grwp Boomerang. Yn ystod y cynllun, cafodd y pedwar hyfforddai gyfle i ddatblygu eu syniadau eu hunain, mynychu dosbarthiadau meistr arbenigol a chymryd rhan mewn rhaglen Dysgu ac Addysgu.

Ers cwblhau’r cynllun ym mis Tachwedd 2008, mae un hyfforddai wedi gorffen saethu ei ffilm ac mae hyfforddai arall wedi bod yn gweithio ar ffilm ficro. Mae hyfforddai arall yn datblygu ei ffilm nodwedd ei hun ac wedi sicrhau lle ar raglen hyfforddi broffesiynol uwch tra mae hyfforddai arall yn canolbwyntio ar ei gwaith ysgrifennu a hefyd yn defnyddio’i sgiliau trosglwyddadwy o fewn y diwydiant teledu yng Nghymru.

A 10 month, full time training scheme for emerging producers, in collaboration with Boom Films, the film arm of the Boomerang Group. During the scheme, four trainees had the opportunity to develop their own ideas, attend specialised master classes and take part in a Learning and Teaching programme. They were also involved in various production activities and attended the Cannes Film Festival.

The scheme has provided all four individuals with skills that will allow them to produce their own work as well as the work of others. Since completing the scheme in November 2008, one trainee has finished shooting their first film, one has been working on a micro movie and another is developing their own feature film, having secured a place on an advanced professional development programme. Another trainee is concentrating on writing and using their transferable skills to work in Wales’s TV industry.

TaCHwedd 2008 —CHwefror 2009

november 2008 —february 2009



Roedd yr ail Labordy wedi’i selio ar lwyddiant y Labordy Hyfforddi Animeiddio Digidol cyntaf. Gan gynnig lwfans hyfforddi, cynyddwyd hyd yr ail Labordy i bedwar mis, ac roedd wedi’i gynllunio unwaith eto ar gyfer bobl broffesiynol, y tro hwn o Gymru gyfan. Ymwneud y diwydiant â’r cwrs oedd prif ffocws yr hyfforddiant unwaith yn rhagor ac fe’i darparwyd mewn amgylchedd stiwdio hyfforddi. Roedd y tiwtoriaid arbenigol yn cynnwys Matt Leonard a Dom Stevens, gyda Rick Villeneuve yn mentora rheolaeth y prosiect. Un datblygiad yn y cynllun oedd gweithio i friff gan gleient, sef Autism Cymru. Cyd-weithiodd yr hyfforddeion ar y prosiect hwn gan ddefnyddio Maya i gynhyrchu ffilm fer fydd yn helpu i gynyddu ymwybyddiaeth o Awtistiaeth yng Nghymru.

Ar gwblhau’r hyfforddiant, mae un hyfforddai yn gweithio’n llawrydd ar gysyniadau celf ar gyfer prosiectau teledu ac mae hyfforddai arall yn datblygu ei ffilm animeiddio ei hun. Mae un hyfforddai wedi cychwyn ar waith animeiddio 2D ar gyfer prosiect cyfryngau newydd ac mae tri o’r animeiddwyr yn gweithio’n llawrydd ar amryw o brosiectau CGI.

The second Lab was based on the success of the first Digital Animation Training Lab scheme. Providing a weekly training allowance, the second Lab was extended to four months and was again designed for professionals, this time from across Wales. Industry involvement was again the main focus of the training which was provided in a learning studio environment. Specialised tutors included Matt Leonard and Dom Stevens, whilst project management mentoring was supplied by Rick Villeneuve. A development in the scheme was an industry client brief from Autism Cymru. This was a project which the trainees collaborated on to produce a short film using Maya that will aid in the awareness of Autism in Wales.

On completion of the training, one trainee is working freelance on concept artwork for TV projects and another trainee is developing their own animated short film project. One trainee has started work in 2D animation for a new media project and three animators are working freelance on various projects in CGI.
