ABOUT
Fizzy and Suds is a pre-school factual and animation series inspired by young children’s ‘extreme intense interests’ (EIIs). The show features two animated bubbles Fizzy and Suds who love to explore the real world from a young child’s perspective. Each episode, Fizzy and Suds guide young viewers through 26 different topics of interest via a mix of 3D-animation and observational documentary techniques. Drawn from research about young children’s EIIs in specific subjects, the series is designed to cater to all children, including those who are neurodiverse.
Disability representation, accessibility and inclusivity
It was an honour to be invited to work on this beautiful series. I worked closely with the director and producers from Tilt Media from development and though all stages of production to create a show which represented neurodivergence and disability with authenticity as well as devising the show to be accessible. Accessibility was considered in sound design, all visual elements, information processing and in the tone of the series. I also had an incredibly meaningful experience on set during filming of the segments with children creating art and playing games where I supported the children with special needs. We created adjustments so that the activities were accessible and inclusive for everyone.
