22-year-old Medical Student, Ofir Shoham, Becomes Instafamous Overnight For His Spectacular “Neon Glow” Animations
Ofir Shoham’s entrancing “neon glow” animations has gone extremely viral – capturing the attention of well-known music artists, influencers, and prominent celebrities.

Los Angeles, USA – Ofir Shoham’s captivating “neon glowafter effects animations have taken Instagram by storm – seizing the attention of well-known music artists, influencers, and prominent celebrities. Shoham’s rise to Instafame came entirely by surprise after a dance video he animated of Jayy Hancock went extremely viral in January of 2019. As a result, Shoham’s page exploded to over 200k followers overnight!! His video took off and was soon featured on several large Instagram pages that commanded millions of followers– and by March, Shohan’s page skyrocketed to an astonishing 1 million followers!

“I have always created my animations without any expectations. I could barely believe that I was able to gain 60k followers in a year, let alone 1 million in a few months!”

Shoham said:

Prior to his wild Instagram growth, Shoham was pursuing a degree in the medical field.

“I studied during most of my life to become a doctor, surgeon, or something in the medical/science fields… I used art as a way to relax or distract myself from studies. Ironically it turns out that art has become my life!”

The one element that unites all of these animations, and crucial to Shoham’s work, is of course motion. Each clip has been painstakingly edited by Shoham who draws on each individual frame. An animation comprising 88 frames can take up to 5 hours while others between 800 and 1000 frames take much longer.

“I do every frame by hand and by eye. I don’t believe in shortcuts, they are cheap. Hard work and true artistry prevails. I’ve done around 50,000 frames to date all for free or of pleasure. And I never had an art class in my life.”

Following his success, opportunities presented themselves left and right; Shoham said:

“I’ve been getting hit up from a lot of celebrities, record labels, and big companies. It’s a long list. I just gotta do whatever I feel and whoever pays right. I have thousands of people asking me for prices but since I’m working alone I cannot manage all of that nor do I want to. I think just picking the big fish and working for them is working out well right now.”

So far Shoham had been commissioned to direct and animate two full production music videos. One of the music videos was for indie pop band Fitz and the Tantrums called “123456” and the other was for rap artist G Eazy, called “West Coast”, which has amassed over 25 million views on Youtube.

Shoham plans to continue doing his animations and push as many good posts as he can. He’s also working on writing long form tv shows and movies so that one day he can try his hand at making a fully animated movie for the box office.

“The truth is the future of art is wildly unpredictable and everything for me can and has changed course very quickly so I am staying open to finding new mediums and new paths to outlet my creativity. I do know for a fact that no matter what I will be producing art for the rest of my life – it is engrained in me, and part of my blood to create every day.”
