A personal cinematic short about Odesa, created from historical photographic references and AI-assisted animation.
The film moves from the city's past, through its living present, into a night of uncertainty — and finally toward sunrise.
I wanted to avoid a conventional city anniversary video. Instead, the film is about memory, continuity and the quiet resilience of a city.
Drawing inspiration from historical photographs of Odesa, I created animated sequences that connect different periods of the city's history with its present.
The final thought is simple:
“Після кожної ночі завжди настає світанок.” (“After every night, dawn comes.”)
Tools: AI image/video generation, image animation, video editing, AI music generation.

I'm loving the depth of field in this shot, the focus pull from the model's face onto the wrist is a good move and there's some nice background walla/clinking that makes it feel grounded in the first two seconds that gets ducked against the vocals. Still some observations and...
Another day, another inspiration. Lovely 🔥
Sharing a simple trick for transforming a video background:
Add a slow-shutter effect.
By turning the surroundings into long, curved motion streaks, you can transform an ordinary environment into a more abstract composition that adds another layer to the shot.

Doppel — Threat Graph
Making complex cybersecurity concepts clear through motion.
For the Doppel Threat Graph product film, I contributed to the visual development and animation. The product connects digital threats across multiple channels, revealing how individual signals form part of a coordinated attack campaign.
The challenge was to translate this technical functionality into a clear visual narrative—showing why the connections between threats matter and how they help reveal the bigger picture.
My work covered storyboard and motion exploration, animation, and scene refinement throughout the feedback process. The focus was on introducing information progressively and guiding attention toward the relationships central to the product’s value.
The result is an animated product film that introduces Doppel Threat Graph and makes its core functionality easier to understand. The project demonstrates how motion design can bring clarity to a complex software product.
