    Visible In Visuals Series 2 - 04 - The Film and TV Charity
    Jan 29 2026
    Skwigly are proud to present the fourth 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. In Animation we often work alone or for long hours- frequently without relevant wellbeing support and guidance of HR departments. So what support is on offer to help you through some of the challenges you may face? In this episode of Visible in Visuals, Tanya Scott is joined by Kate Atkinson and Justine Walton from the Film and Television Charity. They’ll be discussing what services the FTVC have to offer and how they can support you through your career. They’ll cover topics such as creating professional boundaries, maintaining and managing relationships and staying healthy and happy at work. The services and advice they offer are for individuals at any level, as well as companies. Please be aware that this episode was recorded in December 2025, so any reference to the New Year indicates January 2026.

    Visible In Visuals Series 2-03 - Women In Commercials
    Nov 5 2025
    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/ Picture credit: "She Creates Change" Dir. by Hannah Lau Walker, Production Studio: Nexus Studios
