FALMOUTH REVIEW

COVER STORY ON SET WITH FAITH GLENISTER

Being part of the Barbie phenomenon is a big deal for anyone working in film. For Falmouth graduate Faith Glenister, who secured a key camera crew role, her dreams don’t stop there.

It was while she was shooting a second-year student film that Faith experienced a serendipitous moment on set – when cast and crew created the magic that made her think ‘we’re actually filmmaking now’. Fastforward a decade and the Film BA graduate found herself at the Barbie crew screening in London’s Leicester Square, with her name on the credits as assistant to Rodrigo Prieto, the film’s Director of Photography (DoP).

Working with Rodrigo and Barbie director Greta Gerwig is a spectacular high point in a journey that began at Falmouth’s School of Film & Television. “I had minimal experience when I started at Falmouth, but I was 100% shaped here,” says Faith, who kickstarted her career on student-crewed films and through the University’s Sound/Image Cinema Lab. “The course embedded a real love of the theory, understanding and production of film and it was incredibly broad, so I could have a go at everything and explore different sectors of the industry. I realised I preferred being with the camera, on the technical side, but I had to figure out how to get there.”

FINDING FOCUS

After roles as a production assistant and an in-house videographer, Faith completed an internship with camera rental house VMI and worked with ARRI Rental. She then secured a trainee position on House of the Dragon, where she shared her goals with camera

FAITH'S TOP 5 TIPS FOR FILMMAKERS

operator Aga Szeliga. “When Aga did a day of lens testing with Rodrigo and he said he was looking for an assistant, I had an interview,” she says. “That’s how I got Barbie. As assistant DoP I did lighting diagrams and script breakdowns, sat in on storyboard meetings with Greta and acted as a point of contact so Rodrigo could concentrate on the creative side. It was a great experience.

“I’ve since stepped up to loading, working as a B-camera loader on Venom 3 in Spain, so I’ll spend some time doing this and hopefully start camera operating on short films. Ultimately, I’d love to operate on a fantasy film with interesting sets and art design. Like Barbie, there’s nothing better than walking onto set and feeling as if you’ve been transported.”

“You’re always learning, the kit is always changing and there’s so much that’s new and exciting to understand.”

Faith on working in film

1. WATCH FILMS from various genres, eras and cultures to broaden your cinematic understanding, analysing how filmmakers use storytelling techniques, cinematography, editing, sound design and other elements to convey messages and evoke emotions.

2. DIVE INTO THEORY AND HISTORY to grasp the evolution and significance of cinema. You’ll develop a more critical eye and an appreciation for the art of filmmaking.

@faithglenister

3. GET HANDS-ON with practical filmmaking experiences to hone your skills, develop your craft and find your creative voice.

4. WORK TOGETHER AND EMBRACE CRITICISM, to learn and grow from shared experiences. Collaborative filmmaking enhances the quality of your work and fosters a sense of community and camaraderie.

5. BE PERSISTENT and stay motivated, resilient and dedicated, despite the challenges you may face. Keep pushing yourself creatively to achieve your goals in the world of film.

Whatever your preferred role, whether that’s behind the camera, working in post production or being scared senseless at the cinema, be inspired by Falmouth’s latest achievements in film and television…

ENYS MEN

Likened by Rolling Stone’s aptly named senior editor David Fear to “The Shining, on a remote island off the southern coast of England”, Enys Men ranked among the site’s top 10 best horror movies of 2023. The bone-chilling tale, shot entirely on grainy 16mm stock, was written, directed and composed by Falmouth’s Distinguished Professor of Film Practice Mark Jenkin – whose BAFTA-winning BAIT was hailed as “a modern masterpiece” by leading UK critic Mark Kermode.

UNDERBELLY

Film BA graduate Edie Moles claimed both the Best Film and Best New Talent awards at last year’s BFI Future Film Festival for her short film Underbelly, which follows apprentice butcher Norman as he tries to support his sister through her severe postpartum depression – with devastating consequences. The jury described the film as “deeply affecting and engaging, with an impeccable sense of space and character.”

MIDDLE WATCH

This haunting short animation, a BAFTA nominee last year, was created by Falmouth’s animation and visual effects staff, students and alumni, alongside industry professionals. Partly funded by the University’s School of Film & Television, Middle Watch is set towards the end of World War II and follows the labours of a Royal Navy sailor whose delicate state of mind is challenged by an extraordinary encounter.

THE SEVERED SUN

Centred around a mysterious death and the ensuing witch hunt in an isolated religious community, The Severed Sun promises a spine-tingling cinematic experience. Falmouth lecturer Dean Puckett’s production provided valuable filmmaking opportunities for students from a variety of creative courses – including our Costume Design for Film & Television BA and Prosthetic Effects MA. It hits the film festivals this year.

EASTENDERS

Students on our Post Production & Visual Effects BA secured work experience with both the BBC and Warner Bros. August Goff (above) and Tia Mullins spent time with the BBC’s flagship soap Eastenders, where they were immersed in the post-production environment alongside editors, colourists and dubbing mixers. Course lecturer Kelly Norris-Hughes, a regular post-production specialist within the industry, secured the placements.

KELP!

Named best UK short documentary at global sustainability film festival Big Syn in 2023, KELP! was crewed almost entirely by students, graduates and staff from Falmouth’s Marine & Natural History Photography BA. The film, directed by graduate Caylon La Mantia and lecturer Anna Roberts, focuses on the marine plant regarded as an emerging super-solution due to its ability to absorb carbon, replace plastics and regenerate the ocean and its wildlife.

CRAP IDEA CREATES WAVES IN THE WATER INDUSTRY

Sometimes a big issue needs a bold approach. Jake Smith tackled the messy business of UK water pollution head-on when he created ‘The Floater’, a surfboard made of sewage – a genius idea that helped the charity Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) galvanise public pressure on the government and water companies.

Jake, a Creative Advertising BA graduate, was with London agency Mr President when he masterminded the campaign. “The day we got the brief, I saw on ITV that there was a big sewage dump near my hometown of Porthtowan in Cornwall,” he recalls. “I began to dig into sewage pollution and was surprised that no other agency had done something in response. I struggled to think of any recent creative work or content that specifically tackled sewage in oceans, yet it affects so many things.”

To make the board, Jake teamed up with product engineer Niall Jones, a graduate of Falmouth's Sustainable Product Design BA and founder of Benthos Surf Company. The pair collected raw sewage from local beaches and experimented with resin to fashion a powerful campaign tool, before persuading 11-time European surf champion Ben Skinner to ride The Floater in the launch film. “The board is outrageous and unexpected, but the idea is so simple that people get it straight away,” says Jake.

FALMOUTH GRADUATE PUTS THE TECH INTO TEXTILES

The extraordinary work of recent Textile Design BA graduate Beth Somerville is turning heads in the industry. Beth was named overall winner of New Designers 2023 for her innovative designs with hand and digital embroidery, beading, print and weaving, and as one of only six students selected for the Chanel and King’s Foundation Métiers’ d’Art Fellowship, she’s now enjoying a 24-week intensive training course in the field of embroidery for haute couture.

“It’s an honour to be part of this project, working alongside such a talented group of embroiderers,” says Beth, who recently returned to the course base at the Highgrove Estate in Gloucestershire after a week with the ateliers at Le19M in Paris. “The Fellowship will teach me industry-ready tambour embroidery, which will diversify my skill set and add value to my work in digital embroidery.

“The potential to unite traditional craft techniques with contemporary design and technology really excites me,” adds Beth, whose pieces Stigma Stamen and Mountain Fold saw her triumph over an entry of 3,000 graduates at New Designers. She also took the Wilcom individual student’s prize, with accompanying software, which enabled her to push the boundaries of digital embroidery to create a stunning bolero jacket with Falmouth fashion student Holly Crockford.

ROLE MODEL

The man who made Morph was a special guest at Falmouth University this spring. We caught up with Peter Lord, co-founder of the Academy Award-winning Aardman Animations studio, about his legendary clay characters and a lifetime in the industry.

You’ve been making stop-motion animation since creating Morph nearly 50 years ago. What’s the appeal of the process?

There’s everything to love about it. The technique is fundamentally the same as it was around 120 years ago, but people still value it – those who make it and those who watch it. It’s an interesting time because CGI (computer-generated imagery) is so dominant now, but stop-motion remains a physical operation with artists telling great stories and craftspeople working with their hands, hearts and heads. In amongst the whirlwind of changing technology, I hope that hand-made animation stays at the heart of what we do.

What’s your secret for bringing characters to life?

Timing is incredibly important. And the eyes – so much is done between the top of the brow and the shape of the eyes, the way they look and the speed they focus. We use voices; one strand of our career has always been documentary soundtracks.

You’ve got a voice that’s real and not scripted, but it’s being performed by a lump of plasticine. That’s the funny thing; you wouldn’t think it would, but it works terribly well.

How does creating an animated box-office hit compare with shooting a more conventional film?

Clay characters are the most agreeable actors you could possibly work with. It’s hard to find fault with them, as they do exactly what you tell them!

Making any movie is very collaborative. We’re not quite operating on that scale with animation, but we have action sets and as a director you might be working with a big crew, maybe 300 or so people. It’s an amazing process, from the scripts through to the puppet-making, rigging, lighting and editing. It’s a great place to be.

On a mythical tech-free desert island, what couldn’t you live without?

A pencil – such a simple thing, so cheap, but with a pencil you can draw like a dream. To me, drawing is such a big part of stop-motion animation. It’s the same with plasticine, something simple and not high-tech – in fact, no tech at all. But if you’re good enough at sculpting, you can make something wonderful.

Next generation: Peter, a Falmouth University honorary fellow, meets some of our budding animators.

DRAWING ATTENTION

From thousands of entries across 95 countries, Falmouth Drawing BA graduate Katie Hewson reached the shortlist for Archisource’s Drawing of the Year 2023. Katie’s detailed image was also featured in the Ideas Pocketbook 2023, an architecture book designed as a tool to ignite creativity and provide inspiration across an array of different drawing types and styles.

A striking image by Michelle Sank, a photographer and tutor on Falmouth’s Photography MA (Online) course, was the Portraiture winner at the Sony World Photography Awards – heading one of 10 categories from a global entry of around 395,000 images. Zenande, Sinawe, Zinathi and Buhle at Sea Point Pavilion, Cape Town, South Africa formed part of Michelle’s ongoing series Ballade, a poetic homage to her birthplace. “I was once again drawn to these spaces, where little seems to have changed in terms of structure and recreation but there’s now a celebration of cultural and social diversity,” says Michelle.

Piccadilly Circus – one of the biggest billboards in the world – was illuminated on New Year's Eve with the work of Photography BA graduate Serena Brown, who was commissioned to work on a bold campaign for the Mayor of London. Serena’s portraits formed part of the ‘London for Everyone’ campaign, which aimed to unite communities across the capital. In a spectacular year, Serena also received the first-ever Commission Award at the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2023 for me nana fie, a spontaneous portrait of younger family members at their grandmother’s house in Accra, Ghana.

A DESIGN FOR LIFE

Ethical and sustainable practice is at the heart of Falmouth’s thinking, so it’s no surprise that our students and graduates cleaned up at the Creative Conscience Awards 2023 – a celebration of innovative projects that focus on social or environmental impact. Award winners included Sustainable Product Design BA student George Pope, who combined sheep’s wool and pine resin to create a plastic-free cool box, and Creative Advertising BA student Elliot Attwater, whose highly commended project for Amnesty International (above) aimed to combat the use of facial recognition technology by the Hong Kong government.

UP IN LIGHTS

FALMOUTH FELLOWS

Among new fellows welcomed at Falmouth are sculptor and contemporary visual artist Hew Locke OBE, and actor and writer Morwenna Banks, who penned several episodes of Apple TV production Slow Horses and was the voice of Mummy Pig in Peppa Pig. The two join the University’s dynamic fellowship community of creative and artistic professionals from around the world and, in Hew’s case, share an understanding of student life.

“I spent my time at Falmouth experimenting, specialising in impossible projects and glorious failures,” says Hew, a graduate of Falmouth’s Fine Art BA, whose large-scale installations have since featured at Tate Britain and The Met in New York.

HUW'S NEWS

Our busy associate professor Dr Huw LewisJones continues to draw on the natural world for the latest titles in his library of published books. The seafarer, storyteller, environmental historian and wilderness guide recently produced Why We Photograph Animals, a visual extravaganza featuring the work of more than 100 photographers, supported by essays, interviews and contributions that explore their influences, methods and motivations. Huw’s popular children’s titles include the Bad Apple series, Clive Penguin and Do Bears Poop in the Woods?

IT’S A WRAP

Futuristic designs made from donated and waste products took centre stage at Cornwall’s Eden Project, where Falmouth University teamed up with British charity and NGO WRAP to stage a fashion show highlighting the need to transform industry practices. Students from the University’s Fashion & Textiles Institute and Cornwall Business School helped plan and deliver the event, which formed part of Anthropy 2023 – a unique gathering to spark innovation among diverse leaders. “The ideas of sustainability, of which circularity is an important aspect, have underpinned our studies from day one,” said thirdyear Fashion Design BA student Anelia Hartmann. “We’re constantly encouraged to approach the design and creation process with an open mind.”

IN THE FRAME

Winning a bursary from The Worshipful Company of Framework Knitters is helping Fashion Design BA student Katie Waller prepare for a future in textiles. “You’re matched with a mentor, someone in the industry to help you through your final collection and into your career,” says Katie. “In my final year I’ve focused on machine knitting, using domestic and industrial machines in the studios, and experimenting with bold and intricate patterns.”

ACADEMY AWARDS

JUST MY TYPE.

Falmouth

University has a new bespoke typeface, inspired by our local area and evolved by our students. Find out how our fantastic custom lettering came about.

When our Graphic Design BA students were tasked with creating type, they drew inspiration from our coastal location – sourcing natural shapes and unusual lettering in shop signs, graffiti and poster art. The challenge was laid down during Alphabet Falmouth, a series of workshops exploring place, identity and typography.

ADDING CHARACTER

Keen to experiment with the standard rules of typography, the students injected energy and artistry into their work. The third-years

“IT’S A BRILLIANT TOOL OF EXPRESSION.”

After winning a student pitch to redesign the visual identity of the University’s Employability service at the end of their second year, Graphic Design BA students Meg Mardon and Eathan Taylor Aktion worked with Falmouth’s design team to develop the new typeface. “For Employability we designed assets with a real buzz to maximise student engagement and even created a new Falmouth colour, Penryn Dusk,” says Meg. “When the team needed an ‘H’ and a ‘Y’ to complete the typeface, we took inspiration from student work and digitised letters from friends who are experimenting with letter design.”

“It was such a useful experience for us,” adds Eathan. “We’ve done so much at Falmouth, from

produced three original typefaces: Comic Sands, representing the rich culture of our student town, Falphabet, paying homage to Falmouth’s distinct character and Gylly Glyphs – collated from local type and signage, “much like the random treasures and trash that wash up on Gylly Beach”. The University’s professional design department then stepped in, developing some of these ideas into a fully functional alphabet that pairs perfectly with Falmouth’s brand fonts. Look out for the new letters across our marketing materials, from prospectuses and publications to digital adverts, films, insta reels and web features.

visiting top London design studios to meeting creatives and guest lecturers through the course’s Culture Thursdays.”

A VISUAL DIARY

“As a graphic designer, you notice and think about typefaces, storing them in a visual diary in the back of your head,” adds Meg. “Typeface has always affected me. From a young age, I wouldn’t listen to music if I hated the album cover and would refuse to go into a restaurant if I didn’t like the sign outside!”

“The typeface is the personality,” agrees Eathan.

“It sets the tone of voice for your project, so it’s essential to consider what you use and how.”

GAMER'S PARADISE
