Skwigly are proud to present the third panel from the second series of Visible In Visuals, an initiative pushing to make the animation and VFX industries more diverse and inclusive through honest, open conversation.
When the BBC are looking to close the “gender fame” gap, why are they neglecting the “gender frame gap”? Behind the scenes, women are still under-represented in senior creative roles across animation and this is even true on Female-focused commercials like the “Names will be Made” campaign for the UEFA Women's Euros.
Tanya J Scott speaks to Directors Hannah Lau-Walker and Neeraja Raj, as well as Producer Amy Ashton about why are we still failing to see female talent leading large commercials in UK animation.
This episode was sparked by the “Women on Screen, Men in Charge” article by Neeraja, which you can read here: https://www.skwigly.co.uk/women-on-screen-men-in-charge-the-industrys-open-secret/

Skwigly presents Animation One-To-Ones featuring featuring Ben Mitchell in conversation with David Hutchinson, creator/showrunner of the smash-hit YouTube series 'Boy & Dragon'.
In a boundless notebook world lives a brave young knight and his oafish pet Dragon. Together, Boy and Dragon go on bizarre adventures and wreak magical mayhem, all the while avoiding the wrath of the Evil Wizard. With Boy’s brilliant brains and Dragon’s bumbling brawn, the pair fly through turning pages to triumph in a tale of true camaraderie. Told through classic, hand-drawn character animation, Boy & Dragon provides laughs for all ages in a playful world that transcends the limits of traditional storytelling.
Produced by WildBrain and originally launched in 2019, the series makes use of traditional, hand-drawn animation (among other approaches) and stands out among WildBrain's original content for amassing 6.4+ million YouTube subscribers and 4.4+ billion views across its four seasons.
During his time at WildBrain as Senior Creative Producer, Hutchinson has worked across a number of popular IPs including 'Emojitown' for the emoji company GmbH and 'Scribble Scrubbies' for Crayola, serving on both as creator/co-creator and showrunner. In this episode of Animation One-To-Ones he discusses the ever-changing landscape of YouTube and the best ways that animation creators can navigate it.
