10 years ago, I worked on this animation project for 17 months, working 16 to 20 hour days. I worked with a friend who designed the characters, sketches, and the proceed to storyboard the entire animation. From there modelling each character, house and prop. The most challenging part was the character rigging process for over 13 characters and cloth simulation added to which was the monumental task of animating every character and set in each scene.

While this was ongoing, the studio was recording voices for each character and developing face morphs for talking.

Lighting and rendering was interesting as it took 30 seconds per frame for about 2 weeks of rendering. The editing process involved adding dialogue, foley and sound track.

This was my first attempt in animation and looking forward to new projects, feel free to get in touch.

We made a series of digital content and a short film for the Camp in the greater Amboseli National Park. This project involved a lot of planning to carefully understand what the camp had to offer and bring it to life in the
video during a 5 day shoot.

This necessitated the need for a couple to be our models, helping us bring the story to life through a human perspective. From the choice of music, to the selection of edits, the brand film represents the full camp experience.

Alibhai Shariff & Sons Limited is a heritage brand with over 100 years of experience in the hardware and sanitaryware space.
Our role involved understanding the portfolio of international brands and communicating their product offerings on social media with the objective of driving leads and generating sales. This involved creating monthly content calendars that featured content geared to various segments of the business such as power tools, wheelbarrows, tiles and pressure washing machines etc.
The task was monumental with each segment having unique talking points for each brand and hundreds of products with each brand. For effective communication we began with photography to drive the relevance of the content, we then worked with the brand managers to develop tactical campaigns and offers that drove sales and awareness; all this efforts came together in the digital media plan that targeted unique audiences simultaneously leading back to inquiries and direct sales.
As a result, the pages saw constant growth over the period of our contract and consistent leads and sales in all segments of their product portfolio.

Together for Better foundation approached us to help amplify their CSR efforts towards driving donations from their global benefactors.
The foundation is on a mission to provide reusable sanitary pads and promoting literacy through their library initiative. So far, the foundation has successfully provided over 123, 000 sanitary pads and over 36,000 books all over Kenya.
Our role begun with understanding the vision of the founder and the future ambitions and goals for the foundation. From thereon we delved into understanding the Menstrual Hygiene Management and the impact reusable sanitary pads have in improving the quality of life for women and girls especially in rural and marginalised communities.
We also took the time to understand the value of books as a means of empowerment. Equipped with this knowledge we created and wrote content that has visible on the website. Part of the consideration was to ensure our content worked for search engines, bringing the foundation to the top rankings.
We then proceeded to work with the client to shoot photography content. After that we worked to integrate an online card payment system from I & M bank, ensuring secure donations go straight to the foundation’s account and thereby eliminating the need for expensive third-party payment systems and commissions.
