Nomad

“Nomad” is a 2D frame-by-frame animation we created, inspired by a song from the Persian band Sayetab. The song fuses modern music with oriental vocal themes, influencing the animation’s flowing, transformative style. The animation features female dancers moving and morphing into one another against a limitless white background, with wings occasionally appearing to emphasize freedom and grace. The dance genre is contemporary, and Persian words appear on screen, highlighting key lyrics and enhancing the cultural resonance of the piece.
Despite its short length, “Nomad” garnered attention at numerous international festivals, earning accolades such as the Drawtastic Golden Pencil Award in the United States, recognition at the Chaniartoon Festival, and selection in Lift-Off Global Network’s First-Time Filmmaker Sessions. The animation was drawn on a Genius G-Pen tablet using Adobe Flash and edited in Adobe Premiere, showcasing a minimalist yet impactful visual style.
