MY PROJECTS
Visit to the New Year Tree — Tsekh 85
Brief: A New Year short for Tsekh 85, a Russian confectionery brand — three bears travel from Omsk to Saint Petersburg to celebrate at Tsekh 85.
What I did:I crafted the bears into a close-knit family infused with a touch of provincial charm, and I kept the winter backdrops lineless to achieve a warm, magical atmosphere. I also developed three short films featuring the same family—quick, comedic vignettes that expanded the project.
Result:The shorts were featured on Tsekh 85’s social media during the holidays and were very well received by the audience.
Vampires at the Club — MUSIC VIDEO
Brief: An animated music video for «Vampires at the Club» by Diavolisa.
What I did:I built the story and characters from the ground up, working closely with the artist throughout the process. We decided on a vivid pink, emo vampire aesthetic, and I shaped a love story around the song—a vampire girl who feels out of place at a club until she meets someone who feels the same way.
Result:The video premiered on the artist’s YouTube channel, introducing the track to her audience. Viewers responded very positively, many praising its sweet, fanged aesthetic.
