Women pivoting from live action to animation: What questions should we be asking?

Necessity is the mother of all invention. With the changing landscapes of live action films and the dawn of AI, it's become increasingly important to expand one's career and not do just one thing.  Furthermore, animation itself has already begun live action series' like The Last Airbender, Winx Club, One Piece and many more. And when times get tough, women are often ones to reinvent themselves either through expanding their skill set, or pivoting into something completely different.  This panel guides the audience through things that women need to consider when exploring the animation landscape.  What skills are transferable? What are the challenges women face? And what is the importance of creating a vision for this transition? How difficult is it to pivot or expand?
