Hi, I'm Olena - motion designer based in Ukraine 👋
Just joined Contra and wanted to share something I'm proud of: a book trailer for a children's story about Pan Shchur (Mr. Rat).
This one was made with AI-assisted animation - and I'll be honest, I know that word makes some people nervous. But here's my take: for clients with limited budgets, AI tools can be a genuine solution. A trailer like this, done fully by hand (cutting illustrations, rigging, animating) would cost more and take longer.
That doesn't mean AI replaces craft. It means knowing when to use which tool. Balance is everything.
Happy to connect with other creators here!
