Kodii Studio

Kodii Studio is a boutique animation and motion-design studio based in Cape Town, South Africa. Its work combines character-led storytelling, illustration, graphic design and technical 3D production for commercial, entertainment and brand communication projects.

The studio’s core practice spans high-end 3D character design and animation, hand-drawn 2D cel animation, motion graphics, visual development and illustration. Kodii also creates concept explainers, brand films, product visualisation, stylised environments, lighting and broadcast title sequences. Its production services extend from creative direction, art direction and concepting through modelling, rigging, texturing, shading, animation, storyboarding and simulation work.

Character, product and brand storytelling

Kodii adapts its visual approach to a wide range of briefs, from playful mascot worlds and expressive character animation to technical demonstrations and product-focused CGI. The studio has produced work for advertising and agency partners, broadcast and streaming projects, consumer brands, technology companies, industrial clients, energy providers, cosmetics brands and non-profit organisations.

Selected projects include a fluorescent-tube title sequence and logo reveal for a Netflix Dave Chappelle special; the Open Area device-launch film for Density; the Gumiland world and character animation for Gumi Yum Surprise; PECO’s Shining Together campaign; a fertilizer-process explainer for Stamicarbon; and product-flexibility simulations for Crocs. Its credits also include campaigns for Elizabeth Arden and Nokia, alongside collaborations involving Capri Sun, DSTV, Elekta, Ola, Sephora, Sassi and WWF.

A mixed-discipline production partner

Kodii brings together 2D, 3D and motion-design disciplines for projects that may require character performance, stylised lighting, procedural effects, technical visual explanation or broadcast-ready graphics. The studio also works with independent directors and partner production companies when a campaign calls for a broader mixed-media production team.

With a boutique model and an international commercial reach, Kodii supports projects from early visual concepts and pitch materials through finished animation and motion-design delivery.
