Hoda Ramy is an exceptionally skilled director/animator whose work consistently merges technical brilliance with emotional resonance.

With ‘In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning‘, she showcases a distinct visual style – one that is vibrant, yet quietly intimate. The fluidity of the animation, combined with her rich, painterly palettes, draws us into the protagonist’s world of memory and introspection, evoking a rawness that transcends the screen. Her ability to craft these moments with such precision is a credit to her mastery as an animator.

Her interpretation of the music with a sensitivity elevates the entire piece. The experimental style of säje, paired with Jacob Collier’s vocals, could easily overwhelm a less thoughtful interpretation, but Ramy expertly synchronizes the visuals to reflect the emotional undercurrents of the lyrics. Each movement of the character feels in tune with the music – delicate, purposeful, and poetic.

She has an innate understanding of how sound and image can merge to create an atmosphere that is both melancholic and beautiful. Her interpretation is not just a translation of the music, but an enhancement of its mood, adding layers of meaning that deepen the impact of the track.

Ramy deserves widespread recognition. With ‘In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning’, she proves herself not only a talented animator but also a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent director. Her work is polished, yet unafraid to embrace raw, vulnerable moments that speak to universal themes of loss, reflection, and personal growth. She is an artist whose skill and emotional depth leave a lasting impression, making her a filmmaker to watch and praise in the years to come.
