The inaugural Animation Super Grill features presentations from the following industry talent:

- Ben Mitchell – Freelance Animator, Film-maker & Author. (Rumpus Animations, Plymptoons, Slurpy Studios, Channel 4.)
There will also be an industry-focused roundtable discussion with the presenters, chaired by Animator and Film-maker, Dani Abram (Aardman, A Productions, Animortal Studios), as well as the opportunity for attendees to network and have their personal animation work “grilled” by their peers in a friendly, creative environment.

Animation Grill Founder and Event organiser, Gareth Cavanagh said:
It’s not often that you get the opportunity to learn from experienced animators and quiz them on their personal workflows and creative processes. My intention with Super Grill, is to regularly gather together a bunch of funky animators from various disciplines and place them in a cool, creative environment with a bunch of their peers who are eager to learn from them.
The animation scene in South Wales is getting stronger every year and events like Animation Super Grill and Cardiff Animation Nights are a vitally important means of bringing the community together and celebrating their diverse range of skills and talents.”
