Culture In the Craft podcast. Making #createch spaces, diverse places. We’ve had the conversations. We’ve shared the stories. Solidarity has been shown. It’s time to ask “What Next?” for Black experts in the industries of animation, vfx, VR/AR, games & beyond. Our chat is an honest and open perspective of Afro-Caribbean voices coming at this questions from multiple perspectives. We ask: Can we move forward from this point? How the does the lived experience of the diaspora differ from that of continental Africans? Are we missing out on the true impact of making our own art, stories and creative? Why is it important to remember and preserve our history? There’ll be sober moments, some challenges to the narrative and hilarious comments. We show how the Black experience is not a monolith but truly rich in its outlook. To our accomplices : Listen and Learn. To our fellow community : Laugh and lean in (we’ve got/get you and are going for the long game). Black Lives always Matter.

The resurgence of #animation can’t be ignored. As we enjoy the incredible work coming to our screens we stop, big pun, to share more about #Stopmotion with an incredible artist in the field - Carmen Bromfield Mason. She has an impressive catalogue of work that includes Shaun the Sheep and Early Man. As a Junior Director working at #AardmanAnimation she’s perfectly placed to give us advice. We caught up with her to chat and get lessons on her approach to getting her foot in the door, hear her views on the state of the stop-motion industry and future opportunities. She explained about the level of detail and dedication involved in bringing characters to life, the impact #VR could have on the entire #workflow and if she partly owns Aardman (as a large stake of it has been handed over to employees). She also reflected on the low numbers of #diverse candidates entering the space, provided us with words of wisdom and much more. Listen and learn. It’s another two-parter. This is the 2nd, bonus, part.

We're back with the second part of the interview with Wesley Louis, Co-Founder of The Line studio and Animation Director. His recent animation short, The Mighty Grand Piton, took a familiar story (child meets robot) and remixed it sending shock waves through social media. We had to talk about his work and he told us about the feedback he’d received including one moving reaction. We found out how he balances being a studio Co-Founder and creator for multiple big name brands like Viceland and LeSean Thomas, what unexpected motivators led him to making a career change, what advice he’d give to aspiring/emerging talent, why the story matters and what it means to him to do it #ForTheCulture.

As diverse storytelling dominates the creative scene we went to one source of all the action to learn about putting your sauce into action - Wesley Louis, Co-Founder of The Line studio and Animation Director.

You've, probably, seen the film and heard the reviews about Marvel's Spider-Man | Into The Spider-Verse. Well, we take the conversation in a new direction. We ask (and try to answer) the big questions that got creatives and "the culture" hyped about this modern day masterpiece. Will the future of #animation and storytelling forever be changed? How to tell if representation is actually tokenism? Is this a tribute or a love letter? When you know you've seen this film too many times [hint: you can never see this film too many times]. Plus all the hot takes from our round table of creative professionals. We also share how YOU can suggest what we talk about on the show!
