Bringing Chamie to Life: From Sketch to 3D, Shaping ngena’s Digital Storyteller
At ngena, I led the evolution of Chamie, transforming it from a simple 2D sketch into a fully realized 3D animated character that became the face of the brand’s storytelling. From concept to execution, shapping Chamie’s personality, movement, and visual identity, ensuring it embodied ngena’s vision of intelligent, seamless connectivity. The end goal was an animated brand film, where Chamie guided viewers through ngena’s technology, making complex networking solutions accessible and engaging. Partnering with Free Range VFX, we brought Chamie to life with fluid animation and dynamic storytelling, blending high-end visuals with a narrative that resonated across audiences. The result was more than just an animation; it was an extension of ngena’s brand, turning abstract tech into a tangible, relatable experience.
