Make Friends At Home | Free Stop motion Printable
I made a simple Printable that you can download to create fun stop motion Jiggly Friends at Home. I’ve also prepared step by step tutorial videos (In English and Arabic) to show you how to use the PDF file, how stop motion works, and which app to use and how to use it to create your video or GIF. It’s a fun creative activity that you can do with your kids and get them occupied during lock down. Or even if you don’t have kids, older kids like us can enjoy it too! All you need to do is click the button below. Have fun!
I made a talking book - Stop motion experiment
I wanted to make a video for Kevin Parry’s Instagram Challenge, the theme for February was a ‘Book’ 📕
I want to animate more objects and I wanted to not add more to the book but instead use the books elements in a way and animate it. I used the technique of book folding to create different mouth shapes and used ‘replacement’ stop motion technique to make the animation.
I documented the whole process of how I made my talking book, you’ll also get a glimpse of a used books market we have in Cairo called Azbakeya Market.
Eye Pixels // Stop Motion // New Sign For My Studio

In this blogpost I’ll share about the history of the Moulid Doll and why I made this project with Zest. If you want to know the full steps and details of the making of this project, check it on my instructables.
9th-10th of November was Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, or ‘Al-Moulid Al-Nabawi’ in Arabic, al moulid means carnival and al nabawi means of the prophet. In Egypt we have various special cultural traditions to celebrate it, all started by the Fatimid dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

Glue life is my new stop motion mini series reflecting my own life from glue characters perspective. This episode pretty much sums up my 2019 so far haha, but there are still few months to go, let’s hope my glue gun can put things all together soon.
Read MoreKahk Stickers | Instagram and facebook Eid Stickers!
When non Arabs talk about different Arabic food, the whole conversation consists of three words; Fallafel, shawerma and Baqlava! I am exaggerating obviously but I noticed that’s all my non Arab friends know about the different Arabic cuisines. So when it was Eid time I decided to share more about the different food we have, after all food is the best way to get to know a culture and what better way to share something other than turn it into an animated GIF sticker!
Kahk is a sweet cookie that we eat in Egypt only during the three days of Eid, thankfully, you are possibly looking at 3000 cals 😅😂 Jokes aside, kahk with a cup of tea is perfection!
I made 7 different GIF stickers that can be used on Instagram and facebook or anywhere really that can embed giphy stickers and shared them so people can play around with and spread the kahk love. And It has made in total 26.3 Million views* (updated on 12th june 2019)
Glue Life no.1 | My first lip sync stop motion!
I am more like the glue gun lately... I wanted to learn new things in stop motion and at the same time lately I've been struggling with getting things done, I noticed I tend to put my problems in videos, just like writing your problems down on a piece of paper then forgetting all about them, making a stop motion video helps me I guess but it just takes months longer haha... I've been stuck for months doing really boring not so creative jobs to make ends meet and it has been weighing me down, hopefully I get out of this non creative hole soon..
,,Trash-ure" Machine // Stop motion with Doro Otterman
I made this Desktop factory in collaboration with Doro, we worked on it when I was in Hamburg and released it in bits first on instagram (the foodie parts) to confuse people a bit. Doro also collects things that people throw away (on the street, or washed up by the river) and we started tinkering with these till we came up with an idea.
Mini wacky waving inflatable arm flailing Tubeman ✨
I finally made one!! I've always wanted to make a mini version of it and now I did, with just things that were thrown away. And I made a youtube tutorial for you to make one too, maybe, and an instructables tutorial as well 👀
