Portfolio/Project review - storytelling
To become a good artist, you must know how to tell a good story. Whether with a single sketch or a whole film, you must learn how to impact your audience, twist their guts, touch their souls, or make them fall in love.
With years of experience in working in the animation and game industry, and with more than 60 film festival screenings, competitions and awards in my resume, I've helped both students and professional artists in their journey to become better storytellers.
In this Portfolio/project review we will:
*Look at your portfolio and learn how to make you a better storyteller. We will identify your strengths, the areas you need to work on, and set up goals to advance your career.
*If you have a specific project and you need a professional opinion/guidance in how to make it better, let's do that! If you have a game and you need to plan your narrative, an animation film you are storyboarding, or a graphic novel you are sketching, we will find the right directing approach to impact your audience as best as possible.

It was a true pleasure being mentored by Niv.
Our mentorship meeting started with me sharing my vision and idea and continued with Niv answering a TON of questions I had - all in the most professional, respectful, and patient way.
Niv's special balance between being on one hand a true professional and on the other, cool and eye-level speaking, makes him a great choice for young creative minds looking for a master's guidance.
I have a lot of homework to do now after our talk but I'm sure I'll update Niv during the process and ill be happy to get some more mentoring from him in the future!
Thanks a lot Niv.

Niv is one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. His ability to ask the exactly right question is admirable. He takes his time to get to know you, your work, and your goals on a deeper level. He doesn't only technically analyze your work, he is interested and puts a lot of values to the story behind your artistry. He really gets involved with you as a person and the message you want to convey. He gives you exactly the right tips that bring you and your work forward or wherever you want to take it. I am a huge fan and will definitely seek out his feedback again in the future!
