Jodie: Animated Visualizer
Jodie was my first-ever animated project, combining motion graphics, stop motion and hand-drawn components to create a vibrant, emotionally charged visualizer for SZA’s song “Jodie”. This individual project was a labor of love, involving 20+ hours of work, and became a breakthrough moment for me as a creative. When I shared it on social media, it received so much love :')
