I’m Mahmoud Fekry, a senior motion designer and video editor in Cairo. For more than seven years I’ve made films for Saudi and Egyptian brands — motion graphics, 2D animation, logo animation and the edit — taking each one from concept and storyboard to the final cut, and bringing AI filmmaking in to build the shots and worlds that push a film further.

04 — What I do
from concept and storyboard to the final cut
2D animation, brand & logo animation, type
Story, pacing, music, sound design, colour
AI shots finished with motion & edit
On the desk — After Effects · Premiere Pro · Illustrator · Photoshop
Read it with the creative director. Find the one feeling the film has to leave behind — then the line that says it.
Quick sketches the size of a stamp. Most are wrong; the right one decides the whole film.
The keys of the story, drawn clearly enough that the client can see the film in them.
Boards on a timeline with a scratch track. Timing is decided here, not in the render.
Characters, backgrounds and type, roughed in first — weight, arcs and squash while changes are still cheap.
One confident line per drawing. The wobble stays only where it is charming.
Flat colour and honest shapes, in the brand’s palette — or AI anchor frames when the film calls for a world.
Premiere: story structure, pacing, sound design, music sync and colour. Motion graphics on top.
Masters and cut-downs for social, digital and TV, named so nobody has to ask.
06 — Logo animation
22 marks, animated
01 / 22 Academy of Defense Industries
