A family adventure film
A journey around Eilat in which a girl and her dog rescue animals. You don't need to be big or strong to help, only to notice and act.
The idea in one line: helping does not require strength or size. It requires noticing what is happening around you and choosing to act. Maor Ziv and Bafel cross Eilat from the promenade to the lookout, and stop for every animal in trouble.
Maor Ziv and Bafel were developed as consistent story characters (skates, backpack, white dog, green harness) and placed into Eilat's real landscapes through story frames.
Maor Ziv's narration was built as a voice model from a short reference recording, then generated line by line and cut to picture. The reference itself is private and not shown.
