About
I’m Milana, a narrative motion designer. My work focuses on visual storytelling through metaphor, tension, and inner states. I sense ideas and the unspoken, and I bring them into tangible form through motion.
My portfolio includes creating alternative film titles, brand videos for a real client, explainer animations, 360° films, and a short film featuring motion tracking. I also design Cyrillic typefaces and exhibition publications.
I can take your project from initial concept all the way through to motion execution—from titles infused with their own metaphor to brand videos and immersive 2D and 3D narratives.

Joker: Folie à Deux — Alternative End Titles
Alternative titles · Student project · 2025
Context
Arthur Fleck is a lonely man rejected and humiliated by society. In the first film he becomes the Joker, and in Folie à Deux the crowd transforms him into a symbol. People are drawn not to Arthur himself, but to the image they have constructed of him. The film ends with his death.
Idea
Immediately following the death scene, light and playful end titles appear. This contrast is ironic—it reflects the cruelty and cynicism of the world Arthur inhabited.
Approach
The visual language is abstract, constructed from a single simple shape: a diamond. Echoing the aesthetics of vintage square-screen TV intros, the shapes continuously transform—shifting from playful patterns to darker imagery, culminating in a complete immersion in red. The color palette, the musical score, and the retro television aesthetic all evoke the film’s era.
Role & Tools
Concept, storytelling, metaphors, animation, post-effects. Music: [song, artist].

Brand videos · Client project · 2026
Brand
A small jewelry brand inspired by the beautiful, easily missed details of everyday life and by self-love.
Brief
I found the client independently and developed the project from their brief: a social media promotion featuring three vertical videos, each approximately 15 seconds long, and one horizontal film of about a minute, all designed to introduce the brand’s philosophy. The project was delivered within one month.
Role & Tools
Video and sound design, utilizing photo and video materials provided by the client.

Story
A psychological thriller that rethinks how the world functions. It begins like a classic fairy tale: sheep, wolves, and familiar roles. Then a question hangs in the air: why did everyone so readily believe the sheep were good? And right behind it comes another: are there any good ones at all?
Format
Created in 3D as an immersive 360° video. Best viewed on YouTube: drag the frame or move your phone to look around.
Role & Tools
Solo project: story and narrative, character design, 3D modeling and animation, sound design.
