Ancient Stories Told

THE BRIEF: Zayed National Museum on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi honors the legacy of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE's founding father, with exhibits that celebrate the nation's history, culture, and development. We were entrusted with bringing an ancient painting to life through animation, with the goal of transforming the artwork into a dynamic visual narrative that resonates with contemporary audiences while preserving its deep historical and cultural significance.

THE TREATMENT: We created a unique, stylized character and environmental design that reflected the cultural significance of the original painting, blending it seamlessly with dynamic animation. Powerful visual effects and sound design were used to enhance the narrative, adding emotional depth and bringing the story to life in a way that resonates with modern audiences. The result is a captivating and immersive experience that both honors the artwork’s legacy and engages viewers with striking visual and auditory elements.
