Work in Progress

I am currently working on a short film for an NGO against the torture in prisons in Lebanon ,

Here are a few graphic researches I have done. 

The Squirrel and Penguin

The short film i was working on this summer in London is finally online!
Its directed by Jens Blank and Anna Benner and I was animating with very talented and  lovely people . 
This short explores the Israel- palestine conflict in a lighthearted way.
Here's a sneak peak .

2 Secondes Les Gens

A project that started in London , with Abel Kohen and Florence Cuccoli.

The point being, to produce fast efficient rough-cut short films which will be combined at one point 
through some installation or projection mapping.

Thats the first one in line . theres more to come .
yay.

happy " adha"

Not with my Toys

Not With My Toys

In 2008 , i visited a withdrawn family in Valenciennes.

A family, people called "les gitans ".

And to them , We were known as  the "gadji ".

Yes they dont live in regular houses , neither have regular jobs,

they dont spend regular salaries in regular ways .
but these people , irregular in all ways know real family love .

 Here's to the kids without toys .

testing the other side of love

a bit of 3d action

Here's the project i had the chance to work on with the talented people at Carre Productions in Paris .
i had to take care of the ro- ro- ro--bot

and they lived happily ever after

An illustration i made as a gift for my best friend who got married to her longtime neighbor .

No elevator or long distance calls can keep them away from each other .
love conquers all :)

One minute film

Ramure en Mer

A project at Supinfocom in my second year. 

We had to choose a japanese haiku and develop it into a one minute scenario 

At that time , there were a bit of complications back home

in Lebanon ( not like there's ever a time where there arent any )

But there i was just another immigrant obsessed with a thought

i had to get out of my head .

so i decided to choose this haiku

"my country, 

flooded with rain 

i discover it barefoot "

As abstract as it is , i intended to keep the scenario abstract too .

i wanted to join all the complex conflicts our country dealt with for years and

make them simple to understand.
because thats what it is finally .

theres nothing more to this middle eastern conflict .

its as simple as it gets.

were in a small boat that will never sail.

wel be always slowed down by bigger waves and even when it gets calmer 

there will be other bigger boats to block us .

because there it was, the lot of my country , and maybe even yours.

because

" ah oui le liban , cest le coin du monde ou tout le monde fait caca dedans "

"oh yes lebanon , its just another part of the world where everyone takes a shit in ."

and because nothing ever changes .

there it was my one minute of vent .

In search of the graphic style

I wanted to stay illustrative and frontal .

no cuts just one frontal sequence shot .

i wanted to keep a simple "mise-en-scene" and naive .

its a fable we dont want to get too close to and the moment we do 

we back away again.

The tree on the boat is meant to be the Cedar (the tree that represents lebanon)

its there as a vessel and at the same time it adds weight to the boat making it more 

unstable . 

i also wanted it to be bendable and without any leaves .

so at the end the only remaining characteristic of the cedar is its progressive 

branches by size .
