Nader Soliman

Egyptian artist pursuing my BFA in Experimental Animation at OCAD University. My creative journey is deeply rooted in the vibrant culture and cinematic wonders that helped shape my childhood, being exposed to Egyptian heritage and the immersive worlds of superheroes and sci-fi films. My work specializes in 3D Animation and VFX. I aim to blend storytelling with cutting edge digital techniques. Each project reflects my passion for pushing boundaries in animation, drawing inspiration from both my cultural background, global cinematic influences, video games, and music. I am the art director and lead curator of the "Bridging Homes" art exhibition, where I foster cultural exchange through visual expression. I also freelance in videography and VFX, exploring new avenues for digital storytelling. I aim to captivate audiences with narratives that transcend boundaries and redefine the possibilities of animated art.

5th Floor Crew

This animation is a token of appreciation for the friends that I have made over the years at OCAD. I wanted to create something that I can look back on and remember that time in my life, so l incorporated my friends and I using 3D LiDAR scanning. I named my video game animation "5th Floor Crew" because that is where I met most of my friends and that is where we always hang out. I also incorporated yellow outlets in the game logo since there are so many of those on the 5th floor. The animation is inspired by 2D fighter games I used to play during my childhood such as Dragon Ball Tenkaichi and Street Fighter.
