SHOTLIST: LONDON, 2 JULY, 2014 SOURCE: AFPTV SOUNDBITE - Dan Llywelyn Hall, artist (man, English, 33 sec): "It came about due to the Duke of Cambridge coming to the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff to view my portrait of the Queen. And he gazed up at the portrait above the players' entrance, looked at it for quite some time, and then we chatted about it. From there on I had this image in my mind, of him looking at it. And it's something that every artist does. Whether you like it or not you think about the audience, in my case, I don't really care much what they think, but this look really captured my imagination and I felt as though I had to make an image of it." - WIDE unveiling of portrait - VAR people looking at portrait - VAR cutaways of artist /// ------------------------------------------------------- NO AFP TEXT STORY
