"Loser" — Music Video and Cover (Back)
A music video and cover version of the song "Loser" by the band Back. The song was translated into Ukrainian and re-written with rhymes that fit the original structure and mood. The aim was not to change the song, but to make it sound natural in another language. The recording was made in a home studio, using simple means and a small setup. Context The song and its message remain relevant in Ukrainian realities. Feelings of being lost, tired, or left behind resonate strongly,

"Becoming a Unicorn" — Short Film
A story about an artist who couldn’t take it anymore. It’s about loneliness, dreams, and a quiet way to say goodbye. Story The video follows an artist reflecting on his life and work. The words are simple and direct, capturing his inner state without extra explanation. He talks about being called talented, but how it never led anywhere. Every piece he made pulled him further into quiet, dark loneliness — deep enough to feel suffocated, but not deep enough to disappear. He dre

"Свято в Хату" — Music Video (MadHeads)
A music video for the song "Svyato v Khatu" by MadHeads. The project involved creating visuals based on a pre-existing script. The task was simple: capture the energy of the song and highlight its mood through movement and colour. The video does not comment on or explain the lyrics — it simply exists alongside the music. How it works Each scene follows the rhythm of the song. Characters and environments move naturally, without unnecessary details that distract. Key moments in

Pigeon (Commercial)
Pigeon is a short commercial animation made for a product selection and price comparison website. The premise is simple: a pigeon chooses a microwave so it does not have to migrate to warmer countries. The decision is practical. Slightly absurd. Entirely logical within its own frame. Situation Instead of following instinct or tradition, the pigeon looks for a solution. Cold weather is a problem. Migration is effort. A microwave offers warmth, quickly and on demand. The animat

Iron (Commercial)
Iron is a short commercial animation built around a simple imbalance. During a job interview, Maksym is asked how much salary he wants — and cannot answer. At the same time, a price comparison website knows exactly how much an iron costs. That contrast is the whole point. Situation The scene is familiar and deliberately minimal. A job interview. A standard question. An expectation that the answer should already exist. Maksym hesitates. He tries to calculate, adjust, guess wha

Mini series "Koronovani"
Mini series "Koronovani" Koronovani is a six-episode animated mini series made and released during COVID. There was no big concept at the start and no attempt to explain anything in advance. It was a period when everyone found themselves in roughly the same situation, but experienced it differently. At the same time — in oddly similar ways. That shared but uneven feeling became the material for the series. How it works Each episode is a separate fragment. Not a story with a

THE STORY
Kostiantyn Kozlov THE STORY Dave was returning from a business trip; he was drained. Not so much that he would stay in that damned city for one more night, but enough that the signs saying “Tiredness can kill” along the highway were causing him concern. He decided to take the mountain road. It took 20 minutes longer, but the rare oncoming cars saw you from afar and switched off their full beam in time, and the winding road surface didn’t let you fall asleep from boredom. He t

A scruffy, slightly plump man with greasy hair walks into the garage. In the centre — a strange machine, tied with a gift bow. It looks like a giant parcel box with a monitor inside. V.O.

Genre: Absurd Comedy / Meta-Theatre Format: Short Film Location: Balcony box of an opera theatre INT. OPERA THEATRE – EVENING A balcony box. Two chairs. On one chair stands a stool, and on the stool — an iron. The distant murmur of the theatre floats up: conversations, footsteps, the rustle of programmes, the orchestra tuning. A MAN in a crumpled shirt rushes into the balcony box, holding a ticket. He carefully checks the number on the ticket against the chair number. He smil

Genre: Black Comedy / Absurd Drama Format: Short Film, Monologue Scene Location: Beneath a lone streetlamp, on a wet street, in light drizzle EXT. CITY STREET – NIGHT Wet asphalt gleams under the solitary streetlamp. Silhouettes of houses stretch into the distance along winding cobbled streets. Light drizzle falls.
