CREW!

I'd like to introduce our crew for Zohar HaNegev:

Melissa Davidson
environment modeler
Melissa Davidson grew up in Ontario, Canada, where she developed a love of art very early on in life. She would eventually earn a degree in computer animation at Humber College in Toronto. Since then she has been working freelance on a number of projects including providing art direction and animation consulting on a couple of indie video games which will be released later on this year.

Di Ye
environment modeler

Born in China, with a degree in International Business, Di Ye made her way to San Francisco in 2008. Over there she has been pursuing her MFA degree in Visual Effects at Academy of Art University.

Eric Montero
texture artist
An accomplished painter, draftsman and animator. Eric Montero was one of the few to be awarded a full scholarship to the Vancouver Film School in 2004. A master of anatomy and body dynamics, this modern renaissance man practices theatre acting and operates a dentist clinic in his spare time.

Michael Fallik
director, creator, lighting and rendering
Born and raised in Israel, Michael Fallik trained at the Camera Obscura School of Art in Tel Aviv, Vancouver Film School in Canada, and is currently studying for his master’s degree in animation at the University of Southern California. He has worked as a storyboard artist and cinematic director in Singapore, and has animated and directed twelve animated shorts, including the award winning The Heart Collector in 2005. In 2007 he was awarded a certificate of merit at the Annie awards for contribution to the ASIFA Animation Archive in Burbank, California.
