Summary

Amir Kazemi
Visual Director & Storyteller

I bridge the gap between initial spark and final frame. My expertise lies in transforming abstract concepts into compelling visual narratives that guide entire productions from concept to completion.

For over a decade, I've operated at the intersection of animation, art direction, and strategic storytelling. My foundation is built on a deep passion for 2D FX animation and experimental animation, a playground where physics meets emotion, and where I first learned to choreograph energy and feeling. This experimental core informs my approach to every project, pushing me to find unique visual solutions.

My role has evolved into that of a visual architect. I don't just draw storyboards; I build the blueprint. I craft the animatics that become the definitive rhythm and roadmap for teams, ensuring the creative vision remains intact through every stage of production.

My process is foundational. Whether crafting entire animated worlds, directing dynamic character performances, or solving complex narrative challenges, I begin by asking: What is the core feeling we need to evoke? How can motion, color, and composition tell this story? From there, I develop the visual strategy, design the narrative flow, and direct the artistic execution.

I am, at my core, an artist and animator. This foundational perspective informs my directorial craft, blending intuitive artistry and hands-on animation knowledge with structured pre-production methodology. The result is work that is both visually poetic and built on a rock-solid foundation from the first sketch.
