Architecture over ornament.

If it doesn't serve the story, it doesn't belong there.

Process

What changes in your production

This isn't a list of tools. It's what disappears when vision, system, and execution are aligned from the start.

01

I stress-test every idea before it reaches anyone.

Before production starts, I put myself in the position of the audience. I try to break the idea as much as possible. If it doesn't fall apart, it's worth making. If it does, I fix it before anyone sees it.

The idea either holds or it doesn't.
02

A system isn't a template. It adapts to the project.

I've seen how things break when people don't communicate. So I keep everyone in the same space. No filters. No silos. Just direct exchange.

Less talk between departments. More work done.
03

I share everything, the brief, the references, what's in my head.

When people understand the vision, they don't just execute, they contribute. And that changes everything.

The team brings things I didn't think of. That's the point.
04

I plan everything before we shoot a single frame.

R&D, concept, previs, storyboard, it's all done upfront. Some people see that as rigid. I see it as focus. Less uncertainty on set. Better decisions.

No surprises on set. We already lived through them on paper.
05

I don't wait for a budget to start thinking.

I show the client what's possible, and where we can go if we commit to the vision. When the direction is clear, the conversation changes.

References first. Then the conversation changes.
06

I used to build the images. Now I build the conditions that make them possible.

I know what it takes because I've done it myself. I know the difference between solid and convincing.

I don't ask my team anything I haven't done myself.

The Art of the Final Frame

After years of building shots pixel by pixel, I know how complex visual worlds actually come together.

SHOWREEL

Background

This isn't a career change.
Every step called the next one.

The path is not linear. Each discipline adds a dimension.
Together they form a profile built for the full complexity of modern production.

The Teacher

Anticipate the unseen

The Context

A BAFTA-nominated British-Palestinian feature directed by Farah Nabulsi, shot in the occupied West Bank.

Credits: CG Generalist · Compositing Supervisor · Senior Compositor · Additional contribution: Remote VFX Consultant (Pre-Prod & Production)

Every VFX shot was broken down from the script before the shoot. Technical requirements defined and fallback plans built for every sequence.

The Challenge

A director working with VFX for the first time, shooting in the West Bank where conditions demanded speed and precision. Full remote support with zero presence on set. Every recommendation had to be right. No margin for approximation.

The Critical Point

The rain sequence was shot at high noon instead of dawn. Military vehicles rebuilt entirely in CG: modelled, textured, animated, composited through to delivery.

The fallback was there because it had been prepared in advance.

What This Confirms

Even remotely, under difficult conditions, strong VFX can be delivered. The condition: thorough preparation and solutions anticipated before the first day of shooting.

TV Commercial · Morocco · M&C Saatchi Africa · 2025

VISA · Africa Cup

Translate between worlds

The Context

A TVC for VISA featuring international soccer star Diaz, produced to air during the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Credit: VFX Supervisor. Full remote coordination of post-production across two countries.

The Challenge

Two weeks to deliver. Stepping into a process already underway. Understanding the director's vision fast and translating it into clear direction for teams never met in person.

The Critical Point

Three worlds to synchronize: the director, the agency, the technical team. Three different languages.

My role: to translate. Help the director understand that technical constraints aren't creative blockers. Show the agency their requirements could be met. Give the team clear direction that preserves the vision.

When everyone understands in their own language, the project moves forward.

What This Confirms

Supervising post-production isn't about checking images. It's about translating between worlds that don't always understand each other.

I speak creative, technical and strategy. I make sure everyone moves in the same direction, even remotely, even under pressure.

"Slim was tasked with elevating the final quality of the film. As the guardian of continuity between the creative vision and technical execution, he optimised the workflow and made decisive creative adjustments, following the director's directives."

Vision over budget

The Context

A personal project. A sci-fi music video and a statement: Tunisian hip-hop has a history and deserves to be treated seriously.

Credits: Director · VFX Supervisor · Producer

The Challenge

Professional-grade sci-fi with a team of under ten people, a fully remote VFX pipeline, a single render machine and eight hours on set. Limited resources. No compromise on output.

The Critical Point

The real challenge wasn't technical. It was in my head.

Between previs, rushes, fast edits and back and forth, I felt I was going to drown in technique instead of staying creative.

I needed a way to translate my vision into a clear workflow. Words the team could follow. An organization solid enough that I wouldn't have to think about it.

Once the system was set, technique became invisible. I could focus on image, light, emotion. And communicate without repeating myself.

This project taught me: creativity needs structure to exist.

What This Confirms

Budget is not an excuse. Less than ten people, eight hours of shooting, one render machine, a 100% remote pipeline. Result: images at international standards.

The difference? Method. Anticipation. Knowing where the real quality lever is, not the expensive one. I know how to do a lot with little. And I know what to buy when there's more.

"With Slim's guidance, I learned to think beyond basic composition and focus on how light, shapes and small details can tell a story. As he often says: 'it's about what you don't see, but you feel.'" Yassine Laatiri, VFX Environment Artist, ArtFX Student

The Projects

Therapy SPF50 · Launch campaign. Concept through delivery.

The Challenge

Working in a format most agencies are still figuring out. FOOH demands a sharp read of the real location, convincing CGI integration and a brand message that lands in seconds.

The Critical Point

The hardest part wasn't technical. It was creative AND educational. Each client was discovering FOOH. They had to understand that a FOOH doesn't sell, doesn't explain. It stops the scroll. Defending the concept meant defending the discipline first.

None of these came from a brief. The territories were identified, concepts developed independently, work delivered in full.

What This Confirms

Technique doesn't sell. Business does. I didn't talk compositing or tracking. I talked scroll-stop, brand recall, social media performance.

The client trusted me because I spoke their language: business results. When you translate a creative idea into concrete business benefit, trust comes naturally.
