Letter from Jad
for all those who loved Jad, this is a letter i got from him yesterday. isn't he extremely sweet ? :)
25
Today is my birthday. i m 25 years old now. the last two years were full of extreme moments & emotions. things changed in my life, my work, people surrounding me. i met a lot of new people that i admire and i want to thank them for their beautiful energy and for the happiness we shared. lately, everyone is searching for his own path, i believe at this age, many people are experiencing the same. i want to tell all my friends that i think about them every day even if they see me overloaded with projects and tasks. thanks for accepting the David you know and i love you all :)
ok, i consider this beautiful drawing the best birthday gift. i got this email two weeks ago from a friend :
"Jad is 9 years old, he is not a big fan of books...
today, we had a fight before reading the book while working in the session, and we agreed to read the first two pages and if he doesn't like it, we'll stop...
needless to say, he decided to read it all...
He was very sad when lamees married "3arnous el dora"...
and I asked him: Isn't it a fun book?
and he said: it IS fun, but I'm sad that 7altabees is not feeling ok now :(
then he got his smile back when 7altabees travelled to planet zouranees, and remained between earth and zouranees and started writing poetry...
I then asked him to draw the part he liked the most...
He first wanted to draw 7altabees kicking the 3arnous' ass...
but then he said, No no wait, this didn't happen...
the part I liked the most was when he travelled to zouraneess...
and we closed the book, put it back in the library and he did the attached drawing...
the planet in multicolor is zouranees...
7altabees is colored in blue and red cos he is touching a blue and red star...
and he said to me: this star will make him feel better, and will color him to look prettier, maybe lamees would love him now... :)
I thought you should take a look at this :)
Greetings..."

Kassatly Chtaura apple juice TVC
Nathalie Masri & Tony Khoueiry, a fresh young energetic team ;) that worked a lot in advertising, created an independent agency and this is one of their first projects. they did the concept of this campaign and asked me to do the animation. let me say it was really fun working with them !
this year, i decided to focus more on the group work, specially in the illustration part. Ghadi Ghosn, or "king of ogres" helped me in the visuals; he drew the elements and inked them. i did the color rendering, the composition and character design and prepared them for animation. Ashley Choukeir , akid, took all the thousand layers and animated them with a smile on her face :) she s amazing ! we finished the animation and we moved to the music part. Karim Khneisser, a talented young composer, did the music in his studio somewhere in the streets of Achrafieh :) Christelle Franca, assisted in the process and we thank her for her positive energy always !
wbass ! I hope u like it.
