▼ WHY

Everything is moving fast. Formats, tools, budgets, the way work gets made and who gets hired to make it.

The answer is to work across mediums — animation, digital content, AI, live action, personal experimentation — and build a wider range than the one you're specialising in now.
▼ DAY ONE — THE FILES

Diving into the mediums, project by project — the actual workflow behind each one, and the mix of skills it took to get there.

Animation — a short film from script to screen
Digital shows — building a format that scales
AI — character consistency and image-to-video in production
Experimentation — where a personal project turns into a body of work
▼ DAY TWO — THE DYNAMICS
How a studio actually runs, pipeline, roles, notes, deadlines
Where juniors enter, and what gets them re-hired
How I read a portfolio
How I hire: what beats skill, honest rates, the freelance reality in Egypt
▼ WHO IT'S FOR

Final-year students and graduates within ~3 years.

Animators, illustrators, motion designers, editors, art directors, filmmakers.
