SPIKE AND MELODY Animated Short

Visual Development 2019-2020

In this world, dinosaurs/prehistoric creatures exist. The company, PaleCo, has innovated a way to bring a child’s dino dream come to life. This product is customized where the child describes what type of dino they’d want as a friend/pet in detail, and draw it out to fit their needs. Next, this request is sent to a team of scientists that customizes the dino DNA and form it into its egg. From there, the egg is sent back to the child where they continue to love and care for it until their dino friend finally hatches!

Spike and Melody is the individual story of a young girl, Melody, in this universe. Melody is given a “bootleg” egg, DinoGo, for her birthday, which ends up hatching into a dull, derpy dinosaur—the complete opposite of what Melody had imagined. However, she learns to love her companion unconditionally
