28337-14ASPIRING Spielbergs saw their films hit the big screen. Young filmmakers from the Cre8 studios flocked to a special screening of their work at Cineworld in Greenbridge.

Over the last few months, youngsters have created a series of short films and animation.

The films were thought up, edited and acted out by the children.

In the Wizard School, youngsters were given magic powers thanks to the studio's digital special effects unit.

There was also animation made with clay models.

The main feature at Sunday's screening was a cartoon about attitudes towards dyslexia.

Postman Tap told the story of a dyslexic postman who delivered mail to the wrong homes.

But the tale ends happily, with Tap proving that he is actually a talented mechanic.

Andrew Leniec, 16, drew the cartoons.

"I create them by freehand before transferring the designs to a computer," he said.

Richard Taylor, 14, who did the voice for Postman Tap, added: "I learned a lot about dyslexia by doing this.

"It means everyday tasks can become an obstacle."

Cre8, which is run by Swindon Council, has introduced thousands of children to the world of film, digital photography and animation in the past three years.
