Hide & Seek in Brazil

My graduation project "Hide & Seek" has been screened in more than 300 cities in Brazil on the International Animation Day, 28th October 2010. Thanks again to Dr. Mohamed Ghazala, the head of ASIFA Egypt.

Another Pilot

We didn't get a confirmation for "Kelma x Rasma", but we have an order for a new Show for Ramadan. it's ao similar to "House of tales" that we did last year. actually it's almost the same idea and script. they keep telling me that this will be only for the pilot episode and they will find more stories afterwords. I tried to give the pilot a new style.. but as I predicted, it was rejected.

Another Kids Show

"Colors" was canceled so "Heba" my manager in Maspiro, came up with a new Idea for a new kids show called "Kelma x Rasma". I did this pilot and we are waiting.

Azhary

This is a job I did for a new Channel  called "Azhary" my friend and fellow teacher "Mansour" recommended me to the buyers. it was supposed to be a set of promos for the channel for airing in next Ramadan. but we didn't settle on the financial issues. as you see it is a frame by frame animation, I did it in Flash with my Cintiq.

Colors

These are some animation tests that I did for the hero characters of the kids show "Colors" that I've been working on for Maspiro.

Robocon Animatics

The guys at Robocon needed a promo for the contest, and it will be animated in 3D. as the project's art director, I did this animatics. it was based on the mascot character and the theme of the contest witch is "Robots building Pyramids!"

Hide & Seek in South Africa

My graduation project "Hide & Seek" has been selected as one of 7 African shorts to screen at Ster-Kinekor, Cape Town, South Africa. on the International Animation Day, 28 October 2009. Thanks to Dr Mohamed Ghazala the head of ASIFA Egypt, he submitted the film  to the event.

House of Tales

I've been working on This for more than a month. and here it is.. my first animated cartoon series. this will be aired on Nile Family in Ramadan. I'm so happy with it, this is what I've always looking for. this is ME :D

The series is called "House of Tales" it's a children show. I did only 7 episodes of the show. the other 7 were traditional animated by the rest of the Art department team. every episode was had a separate story line. so the variety of animation style from one episode to another wasn't a problem.

And I got the title sequence also.. the montage and mixage wasn't that good, maybe it was bad. but I'm really happy with it. I was working every 3 minute episode from scratch in only 3 days! I was on fire. I think I got my spirit back again. check it out.

Cultural Center

Friend of mine "Mansour" he is aslo a fellow teacher at college. he is creating a short film for the "Cultural Center" about the fascination of books. it's involved in some cultural campaign of reading books I guess. anyway he did the artwork and the character design and the layout of the film, and he asked me to do the animation. the budget on this was very low but I'm happy to work on it.

This is some sample shots that are still in production process.

ASIFA

ASIFA is the International Association of Animators. witch is now I am a member of. the director of ASIFA branc in Egypt or "ASIFA Egypt" is "Mohamed Ghazala" a friend of mine and also a fellow teacher in college.

"Ghazala" asked me to build a websit for "ASIFA Egypt", so I did this Flash Intro. I know that I decided to leave web industry a year ago. but this was a favor not a job. and on the other hand.. this is more like animation than web design to me.

Tarek Rashed

My friend "Sabry" is working now as an art director in "TR Studio" it's a 3D animation studio of "Tarek Rashed" they ar working on an animation show called "Bokatada and Bonabil" I was to animate the title sequence of the show in Flash. but I think they didn't like the demo I made.

On Air Lectures

Another job fo Nile University channel I did in Maspiro. it's a promo for a TV show called "On Air Lectures" I did it in Flash. and I it's not that good, I didn't gave it much effort. I guess it's my new teaching job in Menia.

Nile University

This is a promo I did in Maspiro for Nile University education channel, I did the Animation with Adobe After Effects.

This is the concept art for the promo, done with Adobe Illustrator.

Nile Comedy

Nile Comedy is a new channel that will be lunched sooner on Nile Television Network. as for the channel brand idents.. it was outsourced to different agencies outside Maspiro. the funny thing is that one of the studios working on the channel bumpers was Zam Zam Animation! and I did those bumpers as a freelance for Zam Zam!! I was just an animator on this. the artwork and character designs were done by a caricature artist working with Zam Zam called "Yaser". I used Adobe Flash CS3 in this job, I thought it's time to start accepting that Macromedia is no more.

Dida Tales

This is a TV show package I did in Masoiro. the show called "Dida Tales" it was a children show, and it aired on Nile Family channel. I used Flash + Anime Studio + After Effect in this job.

These are the character sheets for the title sequence. they are the same as the marionettes of the show. I did the breakdown of the characters to use them in the bone rigging system of Anime studio, that worked nice with the marionette effect.

Nile Education

Another channel branding job in Maspiro, it's for Nile Education channel. These are some samples of the animated idents. and it was rejected :(

Mobile Gifts

Freelancing to Zam Zam studios, this job is about animation for mobile! I'm new to this but it seems that it is so easy. the animations are going to be gifts and messages cards for occasions like Ramadan and Christmas and all holidays. for example this is animation is for the second Feast.

Feast

We are close to the end of Ramadan. and coming next to it is the first Feast. I did this promo for the occasion I used Anime Studio, and benefited from the bone rigging system feature.

This is the artwork of the promo.

Nile Family

Finally I completed the "Nile Family" channel brand idents. I put so much work in this, direction and design and animation. it's the first channel brand I've done. as for  the melody track I couldn't get it from Maspiro so I reproduced the idents with a new melody (non-original) just to show it to you.

Ramadan

We are preparing here in Maspiro for "Ramadan" the Islamic month of fast. and I got a job for a Title sequence of a TV show called "before Breakfast" that will be aired everyday in Ramadan before breakfast!! this was my first job using Adobe After Effects. it is really a smrt software.

These are the illustrations I did for the sequence, using my Genius tablet + Photoshop.
