LISTEN TO HOW WILLING ARE YOU? HERE: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/yaelhayem/how-willing-are-you?utm_source=SendGrid&utm_medium=Email+&utm_campaign=website MY ORIGINAL MUSIC: https://linktr.ee/yaelhayem SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0zRGg... Lyrics: Show ‘em a photograph torn into shreds Each piece glued together and hung up again They’ll scoff at the art and deem it no good But how willing are you to be misunderstood? Show ‘em a cluster of protesting cries Cold quivering lips & fists at the sky Arrests poured out as thousands still stood So how willing are you to be misunderstood? Distorted perception Life fraught with rejection Lack of protection That’s just how it is Shatter the glass Never know when we’ll pass So you can lean with the masses Or defy ignorance Throw ‘em with ideas so far beyond The scope of their conscience, they’ll call it all wrong They’ll snap right back at you and call you no good So how willing are you to be misunderstood? Distorted perception Life fraught with rejection Lack of protection That’s just how it is Shatter the glass Never know when we’ll pass So you can lean with the masses Or defy ignorance

This is a promotional social media post for a concert performed by bands Divine Sweater and Photo Negative.

I singlehandedly wrote, directed, and produced this film in the Spring of 2021. A year later, it was officially selected for the Salem Film Festival, and went on to win first place in its category.

I used elements of the UI design for Spark, a startup parking app, to create an animation for them to post to various social media pages.

This animation was posted on the Photo Negative Instagram to celebrate 1,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

LISTEN TO WHERE'S THE SOLUTION: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/yaelhayem/wheres-the-solution-2?utm_source=SendGrid&utm_medium=Email+&utm_campaign=website Special thank you to Eamon Laughlin who created these animations Yael Hayem's music at: https://linktr.ee/yaelhayem Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yael.hayem/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/yaelhayem Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sumindiegirl I wanted this video to reflect the idea of constant consumption. The song is about the age of the internet and how Gen Z has become numb to tragedy, especially in the wake of gun violence and Roe v. Wade getting overturned. There is a silence that needs to be filled, some awareness that needs to be brought to our attention regarding our personal relationship with tragedy in the media. Most people would rather simply post about an issue online to spread awareness rather than take concrete action on even a local level.

I created this short, animated film in the Spring of 2022 as a reflection on my previous four years at Boston College. Just before graduation, I interviewed friends about their favorite memories from their college years and then created visuals to accompany their voiceover. All of the animation, editing, and art design was done by me.

I helped create this music video for the musical artist Karson. in the summer of 2022. The concept and filming were completed by the artist, but I contributed as animator and editor.

A teaser I created for The McMullen Museum of Art's fall 2021 exhibit, Mariano: Variations on a Theme. I used a digital scan of one of the works in the collection for the base of the animation, bringing the rooster from the painting to life.
