The following blog post is by “guest writer” Miriam Ani: It all started with a trip to the emergency room. Soldier and singer/songwriter Hayim Ani (eZra) was washing dishes one evening and sliced through the fourth finger on his right hand, severing nerve and tendon. Knowing he would be on medical leave from the army .

“Chanukah: Rock of Ages” is a meta parody: a parody of Chanukah parody songs and the Jewish holiday parody songs in general that have become so common in the last few years. After Rosh Hashana Rock Anthem got 1.5 million views on youtube, Aish.com said they wanted to do a sequel for Chanukah that told .

Aish.com just released our new video, Rosh Hashanah Rock Anthem! This video couldn’t have been more fun to create with 5 talented dancers and an amazing parkourist running wild in the streets of the old city of Jerusalem.  We shot for a full day in 6 spots around the old city (including inside the yeshiva) .

Here’s the music video I did with my good friend Hayim Ani for his song Whisper of the Trees. The video is one seamless 20-minute long shot. The original song was slowed down 20% and then our footage was sped up 5x to match the original song. Hayim has been plugging me with ideas for .

Project Interchange wanted a visually and stylistically engaging video to promote their program. Without any video footage, and hoping to convey a broad spectrum of concepts and information about their program, we had a task ahead of us. Kenetic typography has been intriguing me for quite a while now and I thought that a mix .

I’ve spent the last half a year editing the film Iranium. The film explores the history of the current regime ruling Iran, their oppression of the Iranian people, the threat the regime poses to the US and the world, and what we can do about it. Here’s the 90-second preview I just finished: You can .

Nefesh B’Nefesh wanted to make a music video for Hanukkah. So they wrote new lyrics to Matisyahu’s One Day, wrote a script, and asked me to film it. Unfortunately, I was in the home stretch of editing Iranium and could not devote 3 days to filming. So, I shot listed the entire movie, walked my .
