Bonnie has judged the CBBC me and my movie award this year for the EA BAFTA Children’s Awards on Sunday. Fellow judges included Blue Peter’s Andy Akinwolere, The Spiderwick Chronicles star Freddie Highmore, actors Hugh Bonneville and Colin Salmon, and industry experts from CBBC and BAFTA.
The CBBC me and my movie Award inspires and enables children across the UK to make their own films and tell their own stories as part of a BBC Learning film-making initiative. Children aged between 6 -14 years submitted over 500 short films and it is now narrowed down to 4 nominees:
The Bomber (Nicky, aged 14 from London) Moving and dramatic CGI animation charting a bomber’s journey across land and sea.
My Dad, My Beard (Euan, aged 11 from Edinburgh) What happens when you give your child control over your facial hair? Euan’s dad is about to find out.
The Prank (Leah, aged 12 from Essex) A cheeky wooden mannequin decides to play a prank in this surreal and visually striking short film.
Tree House Trouble (Thea, aged 10 from Nottinghamshire) When the ladder to their tree house is taken away a group friends hatch a plan involving some magic ‘jumping’ beans.
