function openModal(src) { document.getElementById('modalImage').src = src; document.getElementById('imageModal').classList.add('active'); } function closeModal() { document.getElementById('imageModal').classList.remove('active'); }

This is a unfinished/work-in-progress project focused on visualizing the cars in a cinematic environment. Some of the images displayed are early render view frames showcasing lighting, atmosphere, and composition development.

Software's used: Houdini

Mobile-Friendly Video Layout

A glimpse into my latest/upcoming project — a stylized ritual scene where characters surround a towering pyro simulation, each connected by trails of smoke and flowing cloth. Featuring vellum, pyro, grooming, and flip simulations in a surreal, cinematic space inspired by Destiny.

Software's used: Houdini, After Effects, Nuke, ZBrush, Quixel Mixer

A cinematic perfume concept project brought to life through pyro simulations and stylized particle work. Shard-like fragments are advected by the fluid motion of smoke, creating an explosive and elegant reveal — blending beauty and chaos in a high-end commercial look.

RBD-heavy project simulating large-scale destruction in a train station setting. A central moving force triggers structural collapse and debris interaction along the tracks. Focus on fracture setups, constraint networks, and dynamic break patterns driven by impact and proximity.

A cinematic grooming and vellum project featuring a girl in a wind-blown desert scene. The dress was designed in Marvelous Designer, textured in Substance Painter, and simulated in Houdini alongside long groomed hair for a dynamic, natural motion.

AL FARIS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

A stylized back-to-school promo created for Al Faris School. The piece opens with a dark, mysterious zoom-out through ancient, historic structures, textured and lit for a cinematic look. The reveal transitions to a custom 3D Al Faris logo I built in Blender, then seamlessly into a vectorized 2D version recreated in Illustrator with sound effects.

Editing

A short preview collection of my post production work—highlighting how I use editing, effects, and visual storytelling to bring energy and style to each project.

Saudi Football League

A fast-paced highlight edit capturing recent iconic moments from the Saudi Football League, enhanced with dynamic visuals, sharp effects, and cinematic pacing to amplify the energy of the game.

Production (KSA): GeekPeek/whizzfilm

Lavern

This edit was built around bold transitions and creative visuals to transform the raw behind-the-scenes footage from the Laver: The One advertisement into a fast-paced, high-impact piece. My focus was on pushing the energy and style through editing, using rhythm, pacing, and visual storytelling to make the final video stand out.

LPTC

This behind the scenes edit features a project centered on Saudi Arabia’s cultural heritage, exploring traditional remedies. I focused on enhancing the footage with creative effects and visually engaging transitions, bringing energy and style to the behind-the-scenes moments while keeping the flow dynamic and polished.

Production (KSA): GeekPeek/whizzfilm

ASSAF

For this project, I was brought in to elevate an existing rendered edit by enhancing it with advanced visuals. My role was to bring a more polished and dynamic look to the piece using creative transitions, stylized visuals, and layered effects. The focus was on taking the raw edit and pushing its visual impact to a higher level.

Production (KSA): Halala

I crafted a fast-paced, energetic cut that highlights both storytelling and style—using dynamic edits, custom effects, and playful pacing to bring out the skit’s humor and polish.

Misk

A creative edit showing the making of the MISK commercial. I used storytelling, stylish effects, and visuals to turn BTS footage into a fun, cinematic experience.

Motion Graphics

Raven Quest Tools

This animation starts with the original intro from the video game Raven Quest, followed by a custom transition revealing their partnership with the third-party platform Tools. I vectorized both logos, created a smooth transformation, added motion graphics, sound effects, and designed a clean "Tools" title reveal to tie everything together.
