You Got Beautiful by Lauren Orme, graduation film from the University of Wales, Newport

Who?
The film was directed and animated by myself, Lauren Orme with help from two additional animators Jordan Brookes and Ryan Gregory.

What?
Women’s relationship with their bodies is a fascinating and controversial subject. This film explores the topic through images of the body and musings of the mind, delving into women’s inner lives and outer form: two things that do not always co-exist as happily as they ought to. This film tells a story about eating oneself.

How?
The film was made using cutouts in After Effects and chalk on blackboard animation.

Next Project?
I’m currently working on a series of animated documentary shorts about memory.

Which Animated Film do you wish you’d made?
I’d love to have made ‘Oh Willy’ – it’s an amazing film, and my favourite animated film from the festival circuit recently!
