Anzel van Zyl

Storyteller. Artist. Animator.

HI there! I'm Anzel...

Welcome to my portfolio. I've always had a curious and imaginative mind, but for a long time, I struggled to find a way to express my thoughts, emotions, and ideas. That is, until I discovered animation. Through this powerful medium, I've been able to bring to life the worlds and characters that live in my mind, giving me a sense of creative release and fulfillment. It's especially rewarding when I get to share these stories, experiences and knowledge with others.

Sharing my Passion

My favourite part of my process is when I can finally share it with my viewers. I craft experieinces for them after all. I have been lucky enough to attend screenings and film festivals where I could share my creations and I will always aim for these moments, as seeing the impact of my storytelling is priceless.
