Esme Wallace took home three prizes from the RTS Devon and Cornwall Student Television Awards last month.
The Falmouth University student won the Entertainment and Comedy Drama prize with Migraine, which the judges said was “very artistic and confident in its style, [with] music and sound effects used to really good effect”. Wallace also nabbed two Craft Skills awards for Camera and Sound.
Students from Falmouth University won two of the other main awards. Blanka’s Story, which the judges said had a “beautifully hand-drawn style, with a lovely, well-thought-out colour palette, textures and lighting”, took the Animation prize. Anna Burrlein and Isaac Artus won the Craft Skills: Writing award for the film.
Falmouth students Mila Lewis and Sommer Parry won the Factual prize. The judges said Our Language had: “lovely set-ups and actuality from the start, with so much learning in there…. It was unfiltered, but very caring.”
The Drama prize went to a team of students from the University of Plymouth for Bury The Eagle. Christian Attree won the Craft Skills: Editing award for the film.
The awards were hosted by David Potts from ITV2 reality show Kavos Weekender at the Poly in Falmouth on 13 March.
