Melody is an original and inspiring show, that introduces the CBeebies audience to a rich variety of classical music through stories and animation.
Melody, the title character, is a partially sighted girl with an incredible imagination. Mixing live action and animation, there is a moment in each episode where listening to a piece of music transports Melody and her cuddly companion, Fudge the cat, into the world of her imagination, where we join them on their fantastic animated adventures.

As art director, I oversaw the six different animation studios producing the twenty animated stories in the series, so a key challenge was to ensure consistency of characters and approach, while giving the animators freedom to interpret the stories in their own unique styles.
I created branding, character designs and model sheets for the animators to work from.
