약력

After doing sciences in school I did Engineering at Manchester University. By doing a Dip Ed in 1963/4, which included Art along with Maths and Physics, I moved across to the arts. My first major work was “Tunnels of Lovely” in 1968. It was a walk-in tunnel system full of pleasure. After shows of painting every couple of years in North Wales, I began being commissioned to make artist’s films for TV. I worked for S4C, C4 and BBC2 for 20 years or so. I came down to Frome in 2004 and began doing video installations about Michael Bennett’s painting for the Frome Festival. I am now back to my first love, painting, and have my studio in Frome, (see the film under “about”).

Light of Uncertainty
Light of Uncertainty
Director
Using the methods developed in the making of the Divertimenti (plus back-projection), Clive made a new ambitious piece for BBC2 and S4C. It was about the use the modern spirit might make of the seventy five year old news from quantum physics, and for the first time made use of specially shot live action material back projected into the multi-plane image. In March 1998 at the National Film Theatre, Light of Uncertainty won Best Film at the Cutting Edge at the British Animation Awards. It was nominated for an award at Bradford Animation Festival in the category "Professional" and appeared at several prestigious International film festivals. It has appeared twice on BBC2; once on its own, and once as part of "5 films by Clive Walley" along with four of the previous series. It won Best Animation at Avanca, Portugal.

With the help of his engineering knowledge he designed and built a new-concept 4D multi-plane rostrum which introduced the effect of infinite forward and reverse camera moves. And Now, You was the first film to be made on it. For its originality this new machine earned its very own award. "An Invention in Industry" Award from the National Eisteddfod of Wales was granted for the rig in 1990.

Channel 4 and S4C commissioned the Quartet in 1987 and immediately the first film Prelude won the Rank Award for Best Production on Film at the Celtic Film Festival. Classical quartet form was the musical starting point which was combined with a desire to experiment with the relationships between music and painting, and between paint and illustration. It was seen on Channel 4 and S4C as a full length TV programme

The Divertimenti
The Divertimenti
Director
The Divertimenti' is a unique and beautiful sequence of films where the viewer is taken on a journey into a 4-dimensional abstract and painterly world, where animated brush strokes dance and dart across levels of glass in perfect synchrony with the music. The Divertimenti is a sequence of six three minute films made in three intensive years of work with six different composers. The films were first seen on TV embedded in a BBC2 program called "Space, Time and Paint" in 1998, which included footage about the process used to make them. 'The Divertimenti' collected a total of six awards, including the Experimental Film Award at Ottawa.
