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 made the bears a close-knit family with a touch of provincial charm, and kept the winter backgrounds lineless for a warm, magical feel. I also made three shorts with the same family — quick, comedic vignettes that grow the project.
Result:The shorts ran on Tsekh 85's social media over the holidays and landed well with 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 scratch, working closely with the artist along the way. We went for an emo vampire look in vivid pink, and I shaped a love story around the song — a vampire girl who feels out of place at a club until she meets someone like herself.
Result:The video premiered on the artist’s YouTube channel, introducing her audience to the track. Viewers responded well, many praising its sweet fanged aesthetic.
