    AMANI GROOVE QUEST (Kids Show)

    Amani Groove Quest is a vibrant animated children’s series that combines music, adventure, family, humor, and African-inspired storytelling.

    The show follows Amani, an energetic young girl, alongside her little brother Zuri, their family, and a colourful cast of characters as they explore their world through songs, dancing, playful adventures, and everyday life lessons.

    I worked on the project as both Animation Director and 3D Animator, helping shape the visual direction of the series from concept through final animation. My responsibilities included character performance, animation direction, shot composition, environment development, lighting, rendering, and overseeing the overall visual consistency of the project.

    The aim was to create a fun, expressive and visually appealing world for young audiences while incorporating recognisable African environments, culture, music and family experiences into a modern animated format.

    Roles: Animation Director • 3D Animator
    Project Type: Animated Kids Series / Musical Adventure
    Production: Amani Groove Quest / RoroKidz
