RCT CBC Management Event

Throughout October and November Tantrwm have supported the staff development of Rhondda Cynon Taf council managers with audio visual expertise.
Tantrwm is experienced and equipped to specify and implement the appropriate sound and video systems for meetings and conferences.

For Rhondda Cynon Taf, Tantrwm provides rear and front projection screens, video and data projectors, surround sound systems, radio mics, lecterns and lectern mics, back up laptops as well as necessary cabling. We set up at various venues across RCT then remain on site for presentations as back up and support for often busy or stressed organisers.

Tantrwn also help the event organisers with powerpoint or laptop technical support (Normally: "Why doesn't this video clip work!!!!).

Our First Light Films on S4C

S4C, The Welsh Language Broadcaster, gave our three First Light Films an amazing bit of airtime on their primetime youth programme "Mosgito".

The show is streaming for around 30 days after broadcast so be quick. Our slot is at 8 minutes.

Menter Iaith took the young people who created the films to the S4C studios for a well earned and enjoyed afternoon, culminating in a lengthy live broadcast. Stars from the three varied films were interviewed in Welsh and English.

The project has shown how partner working benefits all and that great films can be made with small resources.

First Light Films - Menter Iaith!

For the last year Tantrwm has been working with Menter Iaith RCT to create three films with a Welsh flavour. The films were funded by a grant from First Light Movies and a donnation from Real Valleys Media.
Last week we held a glamorous premier at the Gartholwg Life Long learning Centre.
Young people from three participating schools joined us for the evening and saw their films on the big screen for the first time.
First up was "The Boys got Balls", followed by "Boudicca" and finally "Marty O Mars".

The event was filmed by the BBC and screened on S4C.

We cant wait for the next one.

Rhondda Breast Friends

There is a great organisation in the Rhondda that help and support people who are suffering with, have been the victim of, or are a family member of someone with Cancer.
We have helped out in the past making a small video for Rhondda Breast Friends.
Now we are creating a new website.
The site is under development right now.

The Alabama 3 are "Burning down the house!"

Tantrwm documented the first ever Cwmaman Music Festival.
Being fans of many of the artists playing, how could we say no to a weekend of varied music, a pint of Aberdare, and the local characters that make the valleys great.
We got more than we anticipated though. With our ears ringing from the Saturday night 127dB (so say the guys at solar studios!) we thought nothing of a piercing ringing on the Sunday night. However this was no rave music. It was the fire alarms.
Three hundred people were ushered out onto the street. How fantastic it was to see the local fireman cheered and wolf whistled by the crowd as they arrived to turn the alarms off. A real treat.
The Alabama 3 headlined the Sunday with an anticipated acoustic set. It was great.
Watch our site for some sample films soon.

Other acts on the night included:
Killing for Company
The Watermelons
Colum Regan
Dirty Love
Rag Foundation
The Kix
Semantics
Kadesha
