Founder of animation studio Animastorium. Founder of animation school Pause to Play. Book author "A History of Animation".
I have been doing animation for over 15 years. For me, it is work, hobby and art.
During this time, I got significant results in different directions: founded an animation studio, founded an animation school, created animation exhibitions and wrote a book "History of Animation".
Among these projects, my biggest pride is an animation studio created from scratch - Animastorium. The main focus of the studio is Explainer videos for innovators and scientists. We've created animation for manufacturers of space engines, next-generation vehicles, and even worked with Elon Musk's engineers on the Hyperloop project. Our work helped make complex scientific ideas easier and closer to people through the animation language.
Since I was born in a small town, I know how difficult it is to study animation alone. I decided to make animation knowledge more accessible. In 2016, I opened an animation school in Kyiv. In a few years, it became one of the largest animation schools in Ukraine. We have taught over 5000 students who are now working all over the world.
And a few words about the project to which I dedicated my whole soul. I have always had a special love for books about science, history and technology. And I decided to combine all this in my work on a book dedicated to the history of animation. For several years I have been collecting all possible information to integrate all this into one book describing the birth of the art of animation. I wanted to see how my book inspires my contemporaries to create their animation masterpieces. Judging by reviews of readers, I did it.
All these achievements were much appreciated by society and the Ukrainian state. I have received many awards. But perhaps the most important for me is a medal from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine for a significant contribution to the development of society.
Unfortunately, almost all my achievements were lost in one day.
After the Russian invasion, I lost my home and office. But my spirit is not broken and I still got my skills and equipment. And now I'm starting all over again. Actively looking for interesting projects related to animation.
