Cymorth yng Nghymru: Cronfa Sgiliau Teledu Pen Ucha’r Farchad (HETV) “Rydw i wedi bod yn y diwydiant gwallt ers 16 mlynedd. Heb ddarganfod fy lleoliad hyfforddi cychwynnol drwy’r adnodd Canfod Cyfle Hyfforddi, ni fyddwn wedi gwybod ble i ddechrau ym maes gwallt a cholur ffilm a theledu. Mae fy mhrofiad gyda’r adnodd Canfod Cyfle Hyfforddi wedi bod yn wych: y cymorth parhaus, cyfathrebu, addysg a chyfleoedd. O ddiwrnod y cyfweliadau cychwynnol a’n cyfnod cynefino, mae fy mhrofiad wastad wedi bod yn bositif a chyfeillgar iawn. Rwy’n meddwl mai’r hyn rydw i wedi’i ganfod fwyaf defnyddiol oedd yr hyfforddiant parhaus, fel sut i ysgrifennu CV a chwrdd â dylunwyr, ar Zoom, a fyddai’n dweud wrthym am sut i ymddwyn ar y set a’r pethau i’w gwneud a’r pethau na ddylid eu gwneud yn y diwydiant. Rydw i bellach ar fy seithfed cynhyrchiad cyflogedig, gyda phedwar o'r rhain wedi bod drwy ScreenSkills.” Rebecca Hainsworth Artist gwallt a cholur dan hyfforddiant HETV ScreenSkills
Roedd #HMUA Rebecca wedi bod yn hogi ei chrefft ers 16 mlynedd cyn #TraineeFinder. Gyda chymorth y rhaglen a’r hyfforddiant sy’n paratoi hyfforddeion i fod ar set, cymerodd ei chamau cyntaf i fyd gwallt a cholur ar gyfer ffilm a theledu, gan weithio yn y pen draw ar rifyn y Nadolig o #Gavin&Stacey!
Hair and make-up artist Rebecca had been honing her craft for 16 years before discovering #TraineeFinder. With the support of the programme and our set-ready training, she took her first steps into #HMU for #filmandTV, eventually working on #GavinAndStacey Christmas Special!
Cymorth yng Nghymru: Cronfa Sgiliau Teledu Pen Ucha’r Farchad (HETV) “Yr uchafbwynt i fi oedd cael gweld yn uniongyrchol sut mae teledu’n cael ei greu a sut mae pob adran yn dod at ei gilydd i greu golygfa. Mae’r cynllun wedi fy helpu’n aruthrol ac wedi rhoi mwy o hyder i fi a’m galluoedd fel gwneuthurwr ffilmiau. Diolch i’r cysylltiadau a ddatblygais drwy'r swydd hon, fe welais interniaeth gyda Rondo Media, ac rwy’n credu mai ‘First Break’ roddodd yr hyder i fi wneud cais llwyddiannus!” Callum Flynn Cyfranogwr ar raglen ‘First Break’ HETV ScreenSkills
Dechreuodd Callum Flynn ei yrfa HETV gyda lleoliad hyfforddi ar gyfres arswyd chwe phennod drwy ein menter #FirstBreak. Rhannodd sut wnaeth y rhaglen roi hwb mawr i’w hyder a chysylltiadau amhrisiadwy o fewn y diwydiant, gan arwain at interniaeth gyda #RondoMedia! #tv #behindthecamera
Support in Wales: The HETV Skills Fund - First Break The highlight for me was getting to see first-hand how television is created and how each department comes together to make a scene. The scheme has helped me tremendously and given me greater confidence in myself and my abilities as a filmmaker. The contacts I gained through this job brought to my attention an an internship with Rondo Media, and I believe First Break gave me the confidence to apply successfully! Callum Flynn ScreenSkills HETV First Break programme participant
Callum Flynn kickstarted his #HETV career with a placement on an upcoming six-part thriller through our #FirstBreak initiative. He shared how the programme provided a major confidence boost and valuable industry connections, leading to an internship with #RondoMedia... ⬇️
