A bit about me
My name is Oryan (Ganot) Ventura, born in 1979. I’ve been illustrating, animating, writing, and filming for as long as I can remember. Since graduating from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in 2003, I have worked in the film and animation industry as an animator, motion designer, creative supervisor, and video editor.
​
With 25+ years of experience in animation, creative supervision, and art direction, I bring expertise in AI, 2D/3D animation, team leadership, and content creation for startups and global clients.
