Smudger Communications

SCI, or Smudger Communications International, is a company in charge of making shows such as Doodle and Kevin Kat (under the Kevin Kat Productions name).

History

Smudger Communications began around 2017 with an unfinished movie called Animal Life, a story about animals with superhero powers. Back then, it was called Lightning-Force Productions.

In 2018, Co. Studios (The company name used his last name in it so I will just refer to it as Co. Studios) created a cartoon called Kevin Kat for a school presentation. It was a success, and soon, Smudger had created 3 different Kevin Kat pilots, with each one updating the art style, until Smudger came to a final design in 2019. That same year, Co. Studios changed its name to Perspecta or Perspectareel on some cartoons. The name was based on layering cels so that from a straight on perspective, it looks very good. Lightning-Force Productions had also shortened its name to LFP.

By 2020, both companies were almost abandoned, due to Smudger making YouTube videos now. But in late 2020, Smudger revived Kevin Kat, and both LFP and Perspecta were merged with Elliott Pictures and ELI-09 TV to create Elliott/Smudger Productions. In 2021, it was decided that the companies would split up, but still be distributed by Elliott/Smudger Productions. This meant that LFP was revived as Smudger Communications International, and Perspecta was brought back for vintage-styled cartoons.
