Once the animation is finished and approved I then do another pass and trace over the animation in my style adding to and tweaking the animation as I go through it. I think this process is interesting because a lot of people ask how I work with other animators as my style is so particular.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To hear more from our live interview with Joanna Quinn check out our recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skwigly.co.uk\/skwigly-at-baf-day-2-joanna-quinn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BAF Podcast Minisode<\/a>:<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F120247611&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&visual=false&show_comments=false&show_user=false&show_reposts=false&color=ff6600\"><\/iframe>\n<p>You can also check out the completed trailer here:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/vimeo.com\/79108943<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re pleased to present you with our latest Skwigly video exclusive &#8211; a chat with the superb Joanna Quinn on the creation of her specially animated trailer for the 20th anniversary edition of the Bradford Animation Festival last month.
