PERSONAL WORK / EXPERIMENTS
Experimental.
Personal experiments in image-making, animation and motion.
01/SCENE NO. 1
On a Rope
The opening scene from a short film currently in development.
To preserve the feel of classic animation, I combined hand-drawing every third frame from the reference video with motion capture. I transferred the captured motion to a 3D character and built the camera movement around it. Finally, using AI, I brought the two animation sequences together with a character I designed inspired by the work of Frank Frazetta.

The Surfing Heads
The character was born out of longing and a powerful desire to surf again: a simple stick figure with nothing but surfing on its mind—quite literally. In place of a head, an endless wave moves and responds to the motions of the body that carries it.
From there, I explored how the character would look in different artistic languages: from Fauvism and Expressionism through Cubism, Futurism, Dadaism and Surrealism, to Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptual Art and Postmodernism.
Finally, using AI, I combined the character’s different versions with movement from reference videos—and this is the result.
03 / LOGO INTRO
NAHSHON
This opening grew out of thoughts about title sequences for television shows. Each letter, and even the spaces between the letters, took on a visual language of its own. Together they form a mosaic of artistic and cultural influences that have stayed with me and left their mark over the years.
Among the inspirations are paintings by Jackson Pollock and Edward Hopper, psychedelic posters from the late 1970s, underground techno parties, the film Blade Runner, and the surf shirts of “Gazoz.”
