This one was a bit long to do (around 4 hours), but I'm starting to feel the structure of the whole thing coming together (although i'm still building this story day to day as I go along- we'll see how it goes)

Continuing from Yesterday's Dailymation

Dailymation 2.0- part 1-Return of the Dailymation!

After a very (very) long break (almost a year and a half, I think)- Dailymations are back! (this time I mean it)

I took some time off because of my intense work as director of animation on Ari Folman's upcoming film- "the Congress"

The last time I was writing a post I was at the end of  the pre production phase (storyboard- animatik) on the feature, and I was thinking- "sure- I'll continue dailymations at night", but very very soon my workload became more and more hectic and I found myself fixing shots in the nights- all the way till the very end of the production.
A few words on "the Congress"- It's a half live action, half animation feature, starring Robin Wright, Harvey Keitel, Danny Huston, Paul Giamatti and John Hamm.
Unlike "Waltz with Bashir", which had a very small crew due to cutout technique, Here we went all the way with 2d frame by frame animation, so I was in fact managing 7 studios worldwide, so I was really testing the sentence "Sleep is for the mortals".
 I'll probably do a post about the production when the materials can be released, One I can say- it was a fantastic ride and I am very proud of the way it came out. I have learned a lot  and improved a lot from working on the movie and with the fantastic talents that collaborated with us- so I'm really hoping for the best.

But now I am returning to do my (almost) daily animation sketches.
The goal, this time, would be to have a continuing link between the dailymation, so I can eventually connect them into a larger context- we'll see how that goes.

This is the first one- As always- feel free to comment!

The Story of Cholera

I've been working on this one for quite some time! 

Some months ago, Global Health media Project , a health organization dedicated to educating and helping people in developing countries through medical videos, asked me to create an animated short on how to treat and prevent the cholera disease. 

The production itself, for various reasons, took longer than I anticipated, but it was important for me to follow through and get this one out, so when I started working as director of animation for Ari Folman's "The Congress" a few months ago, I continued working on it nights and weekends (Which is partially the reason I didn't post anything for such a long time). 

All in all, I think this long journey paid off, and so I'm very proud to present this short film.
