My clients always found that the animation I create is appealing to kids and captures their interest for an extended period of time.
I create animated videos, stories, and music for kids that are appropriate for their age and taste.
I've contributed to numerous projects that gained millions of views on websites like YouTube.
Disney's animation principles are very important to me, and I'm always driven to give my animated characters life.
Make sure you design a captivating story board that effectively and aesthetically conveys the narrative.

I help studios and brands ship broadcast-quality 2D character animation on tight production deadlines with credits including Cartoon Network, Netflix, and Vodafone.
I'm Alii, a 2D Lead Animator with 5+ years of experience specializing in hand-drawn character animation, 2D FX, rigging, storyboarding, and animatics. I led animation work on Cartoon Network's Nana Zanana and contributed to Netflix's Abla Fahita: Drama Queen, plus campaigns for Kafashat, Kawakabani, UNESCO, and Vodafone Egypt delivered through top Egyptian production studios.
My focus is acting, timing, and expressive performance animation that captures attention and supports the story, not just moves on screen. I've grown from junior animator to leading animation teams, so I'm comfortable both executing high-volume shots myself and reviewing/guiding other animators' work to hit a consistent quality bar.
Tools: ToonBoom Harmony (expert), Adobe Animate, Spine, Adobe Photoshop, After Effects.
I'm currently available for remote and freelance work, full-time hours or project-based. If you need a 2D animator who can take a character from rig to final polished performance, let's talk.

Stop managing 4 freelancers for one video. Let’s build a world instead. 🚀
I am Mostafa Diaa, a Multimedia Artist who specializes in "Hybrid Production" the seamless blend of stylized 2D characters with immersive 3D environments. Most editors just cut clips; I engineer cinematic experiences from scratch, mastering character animation and rigging in both the second and third dimensions.
🤝 Why work with me?
I handle the entire creative pipeline. When you hire me, you aren't just getting an editor; you are getting a Director, a 2D/3D Animator, and a Sound Designer in one person. This ensures a cohesive visual identity and a significantly smoother workflow.
💎 The 2D/3D Advantage:
My signature style blending the charm of 2D animation with the depth of 3D space gives your project a "High-Budget" look. I don't just move objects; I build complex rigs for characters in both Moho (2D) and Blender (3D), ensuring fluid, professional movement regardless of the medium.
⚙️ My Production Pipeline:
Concept & Storyboarding: Translating your vision into a visual roadmap.
Character Rigging & Animation (2D & 3D): I build custom, production-ready rigs. Whether it's Moho Smart Bones for expressive 2D characters or professional 3D rigging/animation in Blender, I ensure every movement has weight, personality, and soul.
3D Environment Modeling: Building custom worlds and assets in Blender (not just using templates).
Cinematic Compositing: Bringing 2D and 3D elements together in After Effects with dust, smoke, lighting, and VFX to create a unified look.
Immersive Sound Design: Crafting custom audio landscapes in FL Studio to enhance the narrative impact.
🏆 Proven Excellence:
Global Animation Track Record: Successfully delivered numerous full-scale animation projects for clients across the globe. I have a strong portfolio of custom Character Design and Animation, bringing unique personalities to life from the first sketch to the final render.
Motion Graphics for Global Brands: Collaborated with numerous companies and startups to design high-converting motion graphics ads. I specialize in creating visual content that actively boosts brand identity and increases sales by capturing viewer attention.
NASA Space Apps Global Nominee: Led the visual identity and animation team for a project that competed at a global level, delivering high-quality assets under extreme pressure.
🎬 Independent Creator & Director:
I don’t just execute tasks; I build original visual worlds. My personal projects demonstrate a clear evolution in technical mastery:
"Diaa Tutorial Series" (Latest Flagship Project): My most sophisticated work to date. It pushes the boundaries of the 2.5D hybrid style, featuring custom retro-inspired shaders, complex dithered textures, and a glitch-core aesthetic.
"In My Room" (Debut Hybrid Short): A surreal horror/action project that laid the foundation for my hybrid style. I successfully reconstructed a real-life environment into a 3D space, blending it with high-intensity character animation.
🛠️ Core Expertise & What I Can Help You With:
🎬 Video Editing & Post-Production (Premiere Pro): High-retention pacing, narrative-driven cutting, professional transitions, and cinematic audio mixing.
⚡ 2D/3D Character Design & Rigging (Moho/Blender): Advanced rigging (Smart Bones, multi-angle setups), fluid character animation, lip-sync, and performance capture.
🌍 3D World Building & Shading (Blender): Full environment design, cinematic lighting, and custom stylized shaders (Cel-shading, Dithering, Grease Pencil integration).
✨ Advanced Compositing & VFX (After Effects): Blending 2D characters into 3D spaces, localized particle systems, camera tracking, and professional color grading.
🎨 Visual Identity & Asset Design (Illustrator/Photoshop): Creating concept art, high-quality vector assets, and cohesive branding for your project.
🔊 Immersive Sound Design (FL Studio): Original SFX creation, Foley, ambient textures, and professional audio editing to bring the visuals to life.
I don’t just deliver a file; I deliver a story that sticks.
