A self-taught enthusiast of title sequences, motion graphics, and DIY 3D — none of this was ever done commercially (with rare exceptions). I just have a weakness for ridiculously long intros and homemade visuals.
A trailer for a never-finished film about drag queen Melloni. We spent ages shooting it, but the full project never came together — this trailer is what survived.
Back in the day, working at a Moscow nightclub, our drag queens would often ask me to film their acts — sometimes during a live show, sometimes as a staged performance in an empty venue. Here Naomi performs to Britney Spears (Womanizer and Circus).
Friends brought back hours of footage from their Alaska trip. I was commissioned to edit it all into a film — shown here is the custom-built intro sequence.
A cinematic teaser I put together for a friend's birthday, dropped a few days before the party. The full video was a long edit mixing friends' messages by meaning — and sometimes without. This trailer was just the appetizer.
Another one of my endlessly long title sequences — this time channeling the Stranger Things aesthetic. I cut almost everything else out. There's something hypnotic about watching those glowing letters slowly come together.
A birthday greeting for my younger sister from afar. Almost nothing here was filmed — I modeled and rendered most of it in 3ds Max, inspired by the visuals of my favorite film, Resident Evil.
