Lucy-Helen's Life Diaries

Lucy-Helen's Life Diaries is a Kuboian traditionally animated serial drama television series. The show was created by and stars a fictionalised version of voice actress Lucy Hudson, a good-intended but misunderstood twelve year-old girl. The show is produced by Scopescreen Media and directed by its co-founder Evan Ridley.

Lucy-Helen's Life Diaries premiered on Children's Vision in 2018, with a series of thirteen episodes. A second series is scheduled to premiere in September 2021.

Premise
Lucy-Helen's Life Diaries centres around the life of Lucy-Helen, a twelve year-old girl who attends a rundown school. Each episode focuses on Lucy-Helen's attempts to cope with the pressures in school whilst also trying to find a way to solve a recent conflict that has occured within her family.

Each episode of the show is narrated regularly by Lucy-Helen in the past tense. Every episode also has an "imagination spot", in which Lucy-Helen has a daydream imaging a wishful situation based on what has happened in the episode so far. Very few of the show's landmarks are given names, and are instead referred to things such as "the school" and "the shop".

Production
Lucy Hudson created the idea for the show in 2013. Naming the character off herself (Helen is Hudson's first middle name), Hudson intended to create a character that would "relate to the children watching". She ran a study in early 2014, where she asked several pre-teen children what they like and dislike about their lives, with a few additional questions such as who they liked and disliked at school and why. Helen worked with Evan Ridley to create a large list of characters that could be considered flawed but understandable. In late 2014, Hudson spent weeks creating, drawing and colouring paper models of the show's main settings - she revealed pictures of the models on her Facebook page in November 2017.

Music
The show's soundtrack is inspired by late 1990s and early 2000s R&B, teen pop and lipstick rap. Hudson performs all of the songs for the series under her character's nickname, with some of the tracks also featuring some guest vocalists.
