MY PROJECTS
INTRO FOR 2×2 | 2026
Work for 2×2 video intro contest. The task was to create a vivid and memorable 5 second long intro with the logo of the channel
Visual research
Fantasy genre is very popular among teens and young adults, so I chose it as a theme of my intro. A wizard sitting in a dark room and looking through a magic fortune-telling ball became the main character of my work
First version. Plasticine stop-motion animation
I also really like mixed media type of animation, which is becoming more and more trending among young audience too, so my first version of the intro included a plasticine stop motion animation combined with digital 2D animation.
As a result, the 2×2 channel chose my work and I became a finalist of the contest, but we decided to stay with classic 2D animation both in logo and the background.
Final version
THE GALAXY — MUSIC VIDEO | 2026
Music video created in a team with Daria Ovsyannikova and Nicole Kurganskaya for NEONOVAYA AURA
Our goal was to recreate the vibe of the song in a catching visual style. As a reference we chose old retro animes and different science fiction films, like Space Odyssey (1968). As a result, we created a story about an astronaut girl, who gets in a space catastrophe, but meets a Galaxy herself and embarks on a journey through different universes.

My parts of animation
The customer (NEONOVAYA AURA) was fulfilled with our work, and by now me and my team mates send our work to different animation and film festivals, so more people could see it. We already sent it to the PUH Orenburg festival and it became a part of its selection.

Work based on a brief that I made with The Tretyakov Gallery.
My task was to create an animated video for kids (from age 6 to 12) about a character (Tretya-cat) who is learning the rules of behavior in the museum.
