TISFF Opener
The Tel Aviv Student Film Festival is one of the largest student film festivals in the world. I had the exciting challenge of directing the animation for the opening film, working alongside an amazing team 🙌
The animation combined design and movement, set to a classic piece by Bach 🎶 We collaborated with a dancer to choreograph movements that not only reflected the melody but also paid homage to iconic films in cinematic history 🎬







This project allowed me to blend animation and video in a challenging and engaging way, while also directing a large team of animators who together brought this piece to life









Working with the dancer as an animation director was both demanding and fascinating, requiring me to carefully plan how the animated elements would interact with and enhance the choreography



The film required integrating animation with live-action footage, which involved meticulous planning including many sketches to map out each frame. Afterward, every frame received its unique design and color 🎨✨

The project was a wonderful collaboration between many people, and that's the only thing that made it possible for us to create something of this scale
