Sherazade: The Untold Stories

This was among the first TV series I joined at Hahn Film AG. I mainly worked as a 2D artist and visual effects designer/supervisor. I also helped in the development of the opening titles, credits, recaps, wipes and flashback screens using After Effects.

Some of my tasks included making sure that the 3D models of over 40 characters and props stayed on model, giving instructions and correcting proportions. I also worked as a look developer correcting textures and color. Other tasks included revising storyboards, motion design and graphics, action maps, poster designs, pose corrections and touch ups for the merchandising.

As a visual effects designer, I designed more than 90 effects and supervised their development on the 26 episodes.

I also worked as a storyboard revisionist in a couple of episodes, sometimes retouching whole sequences.
