Mona Digital was founded by Dafydd Weightman — a Welsh first-language videographer, photographer and CAA-licensed drone operator from Anglesey. Welsh is his first language and the studio is rooted in this place.
Dafydd studied Computer Science at Bangor University before developing his creative practice at Menai Science Park (M-SParc), where the idea for Mona Digital first took shape. The technical background gives the studio something most production outfits lack: a working understanding of how content is delivered, compressed and optimised across platforms — not as an afterthought, but built in from the brief.
That standard comes from 5+ years on broadcast crew with Welsh independent production companies Chwarel TV and Cwmni Da — editor, camera operator, sound recordist and drone roles on long-running productions including S4C Gogglebocs Cymru, Channel 4 The Great House Giveaway, S4C Tŷ Am Ddim and BBC The One Show, alongside drone work on BBC Sherwood, BBC Louis Theroux Interviews, ITV The Bay, Discovery Wheeler Dealers, the 2023 feature film Neeyat, and commercial campaigns for HP, Pepsi, Jabra and Liam Gallagher.
That experience set the standard Mona Digital works to: what separates content that looks professional from content that actually does something.
