Kodi the Coder

I created character designs & set them up for an animated pitch for Warner Media in collaboration with My Animation Life & Lifted Wings Studio. Kodi is a 12 old wiz-kid who has invented the world’s most sophisticated A. I. technology.

The Initial task was to redesign the character on the top left into the style of the character at the bottom left. The character on the right side is the version I created

The clients satisfied with the result, I was asked to start make more outfit explorations. Using the mood boards provided, I created 3 more outfit explorations

Explored a couple of more glasses designs & sketched a different mouth shape design before the client settled on the design on the right

From there, the rest of the characters were redesigned to match the new Kodi design & the new outfits picked for them

STEM, Kodi's A.I. best friend that she created., sets out to help her & her friend Jordyn. He has the unique ability to shapeshift into any inanimate or object. In this pitch, STEM shapeshifts into the Eiffel tower & a Steve Urkel inspired outfit

I set up the final character designs for rigging in ToonBoom Harmony. Drew the characters in different poses that would be needed in the pitch

The animated pitch delivered in collaboration with My Animation Life & Lifted Wings Studio was 5 minutes long submitted to Warner Media. For now, I am only able to show this small preview of Kodi talking on her vlog
