OVERVIEW
Shabaket El Meem serves as an online platform for LGBTQ youth residing in Lebanon and the broader Arab world. I was approached by this organization to create two videos as part of a series that depicts various experiences and moments within the Lebanese LGBTQ community. As a motion designer, I am thrilled to be a part of this project, and I am committed to delivering high-quality videos that accurately portray the stories and perspectives of this vibrant and diverse community.

PROCESS
To undertake this project, I had to start from scratch, taking into consideration the characters provided to me. I began by creating a storyboard and working on the script provided by the client. After that, I created some style frames where I developed the illustrations and determined the color palette. The objective was to create an engaging audiovisual piece that would present a complex subject in an entertaining and enjoyable way.
To create an animated video that would educate people about the challenges that transgender individuals face in Lebanon, I focused on developing a script that would cover all aspects of their experiences, including the psychological and mental struggles they endure. I worked closely with the client to understand the key messages they wanted to convey and created a storyboard that visually represented each scene in the video. Then, I developed custom illustrations and determined the color palette to create a cohesive and engaging visual narrative. Through a combination of animation techniques and post-production effects, I was able to bring the script to life and create a powerful video that would help raise awareness about the transgender community in Lebanon.
History of LGBRQ Activism in Lebanon For this second video, I created an animated representation of the LGBTQ history in Lebanon, using the historical information provided to me from the movement’s beginnings to present day. The resulting video showcases the struggles, challenges, and victories of the LGBTQ community in Lebanon in a visually engaging and informative way.
