It happened during a difficult period, finishing my first internship in a foreign country and trying to start my career as a designer and animator. Eventually The Alphabet got staff picked and helped me getting my first job in a studio...
Now, after 10 years, I've created an homage to that first project, that helped me starting my career, a new alphabet composed by Arabic characters specially designed by Angela Bardakjian, Art director and designer based in Dubai, (on the web: angelabardakjian.com/ on IG: instagram.com/angelabardakjian/)
with a special music and sound exclusively crafted by Simon Smith (on the web: simonsmithfilmmusic.com/ on IG: instagram.com/bcnsound/).

Technique:
Animated and painted frame by frame with the intent of simulating a blue ink, the Alphabet Three, has been created using the same technique and softwares used for crafting the first one in 2011.
So no 3D simulation or particles flows, just photoshop and my good cintiq.
