ABOUT ME
My name is Gilat Parag, and I am an animation director, designer in various media, and a lecturer.
The designer in me defines the need - and derives the structure from it, while the director provides the emotion and timing.
Over the years I have been involved in various projects, in which I explored the connection between artistic thinking and new media.
This diverse experience enables me to have an overall view of visual communication projects that include spatial content in time, physical space and interactivity, while actively connecting artistic thinking and technology to achieve a complex content.
