● Birthplace: Tehran
Biography
He graduated from University of Tehran Art crafts, animation director, screenwriter, character designer and famous Iranian cartoonist. In addition to academic education, he has a second grade in the Ministry of Culture and Guidance, which is equivalent to the master of Animation. He directed the first film animation in Iran, which cost about 2 billion and three hundred million tomans for making it. Bahram Azimi began its professional career since 1993, with the publication of its caricatures in various publications. In April 1993, he was hired by the animation company, where he learned animation and began to work after training. Among his most famous works: The Traffic police propaganda animation (Sia Saketi and Davood Danger), Mr. Safety animation (Hassan Dangerous Hassan), the animation of Baba Electric, short animation: Masouleh and the animation: Tehran’s 1500. He said the reasons for the success of Tehran’s 1500 animation in his opinion: several different factors resulted in a very good performance of 1500 Tehran’s cinematic animation. The first reason is that there is no animation in Iran that has had such a cinema, but a number of animations were made, but none of the cinematic stage of the cinema and the limited number that could be screened has never been with such a spectator And were not. Another factor in the presence of cinema and television actors as: Mehran Modiri, Bahram Radan, Hedieh Tehrani, Gohar Kheyrandish and other loved ones in this work, and the propaganda we had done in this field. Tehran 1500, a large part of its success owes the actors and prominent artists. But the other factor was my work experience and the manufacturer’s team and the people were trusting this animation by recognizing my past works, such as Naja animations, which were broadcast in the early 80 of the TV and were welcomed by other live cinematic works. With all these letters, there is always a successful manager at the apex of a successful project. Private producer Tehran 1500, A man is named Mohammad Abolhassani, if there was no such man, he could not be a big job like Tehran 1500. So far in our country have not had a private producer of a few billion money to make a movie. Everything handed together until the Tehran 1500 was completed.
The cost of making a film from his viewpoint
Bahram Azimi: From 2 billion and 300 million tomans costs, about 1 billion or 1 billion and one hundred million Tomans spent buying equipment, workplace rentals and side costs and the rest have been applied in animation and wages. But if I want to be precise, we have spent 1 billion and three hundred million Tomans only for pay and salary.

Hello Mr. Azimi,
I’m so glad to find you just now :)
Sir, I’m 25 and have associate degree in architecture in enghelab e eslami technical college in Tehran. I wanted to change my major for many years but unfortunately I couldn’t find my cup of tea yet; I have found a major by the name of “ Interactive Art + Technology “
Which made of three specialized some how such as Media art, design and interactive systems. I love somethings related to art and design which improve my creativity but the thing is I’m not interested in coding or mathematics and physics courses :( even I would prefer if I want to make an art or designing, make it by my hands, neither computer application:( idk why! Could you please tell me how can I be successful with doing that How can I reconcile and become interested?
Would you please let me know what do you think about the future of this major? Recently I searched about Metavers project which is a new digital world to combine our world related to VR and…
Due to this, Is it worth if I going for this major? Or if you have any other recommendations for me please let me know and guide me in this regard.
This is my last chance
I would appreciate you if you would help me in this case.
Kindest regards,
Amirhossein
