My city,
rendered in PS2.

GTA Ramat Gan is an ongoing AI video series that rebuilds the streets, buses and childhood landmarks of Ramat Gan in the visual language of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Concept, art direction, generation, animation and edit — all mine. The series grew an audience on Instagram and was featured by the City of Ramat Gan.

Role: Creator & Art Director

01 — The Idea

Two things every kid from here shares: the same streets, and the same games.

I started from the places almost every Ramat Gan local knows — Bialik Street and its square, Dan line 67, Ayalon Mall. Small, specific memories that live in everyone who grew up here.

Then I rendered them through the game that defined a generation. Nostalgia for the city, multiplied by nostalgia for the PS2 — the goal was simple: make people recognise their own street and smile.

02 — The Pipeline

AI is the toolkit. The direction is mine.

01
Reference
Real locations as the starting point — existing photos, and shooting on site wherever a reference was missing.
02
Stills
Key frames generated in Nano Banana, locked to a set of style anchors so the PS2 look never drifts between shots.
03
Motion
Animated in Seedance with strict prompt rules — real-time speed, no slow motion, static cameras stated explicitly.
04
Edit & Type
Cut, paced and sound-designed in Premiere Pro. Hebrew typography designed in Figma and added in post, never generated.
