The film by Moriah Asraf and Alon Ben David offers a rare glimpse into the closed rooms where the war against Iran was managed, revealing the secret protocols. For the first time, decision-makers, including the Prime Minister and senior defense officials, sit before the camera and speak openly about the dramatic decisions that were made.
In a fast-paced work effort spanning a few days, together with director Ari Pines, I created a complete graphic language for the film. The visual language includes elements of a military interface along with a cipher that emphasizes the sensitive materials presented in the film. For the backgrounds of some of the elements, I incorporated exclusive materials we received from the IDF Spokesperson and a cabinet room which I created using GenAI, all of which underwent processing and adaptation to the visual language.
Protocols
This is one segment out of 8 from the film. I created the cabinet background using GenAI from several different angles and movements to achieve variety. Afterwards, the video was adapted to the visual language.
Time Transition
There is an emphasis on combining the military interface with the cipher and displaying the passage of time. For the background, I used materials from the IDF Spokesperson, featuring fighter jets and UAVs footage from the strikes in Iran, while adapting them to the visual language.
