MTS — national campaign

Assistant Producer — TV & digital commercial, CG/VFX-heavy

A VFX-driven commercial for one of Russia's largest telecom operators, carried from client brief to national broadcast in two months.

  • Bidding and vendors. Built cost estimates, scoped the CG/VFX and motion design work, and sourced and negotiated with a vendor and freelance pool that came to roughly 20 people and suppliers across the campaign.
  • A full CG rebuild, without moving the air date. Across five rounds of client feedback the graphics were called back to be rebuilt from scratch. I re-scoped the remaining work, re-sequenced the vendor schedule and rebalanced the budget — and the spot aired on the original date.
  • On set. Worked directly with the CG and VFX supervisors so the shoot delivered what post actually needed: plates, reference, on-set data and tracking coverage.
  • Post and delivery. Ran review rounds and version control through comp and finishing, and QC'd against broadcast and platform specs. Delivered a 1920×1080 broadcast master plus vertical cutdowns for social.

Elektroforez — “Zlo”

Producer — music video, sponsor-backed

Produced under #SaveTheNight, Jägermeister's campaign supporting artists and the nightlife industry through the pandemic — which put a sponsor approval chain on top of a standard music video shoot.

  • Sponsor management. Direct line to the sponsor throughout: presented and cleared shots at the storyboard stage, then secured live approvals during the shoot, keeping the creative moving without breaking brand requirements.
  • Out-of-town production. Crewed and ran the shoot in St. Petersburg with no existing local network — assembled the full crew and cast from a standing start, plus location, set design and supplier partnerships.
  • Owned the budget end to end, including travel and accommodation for a remote shoot.
  • Ran the schedule from prep through two shoot days and supervised post through edit, color and delivery. Sole credited producer.

Shura Kuznetsova — “Lunnye Tsari”

Producer — visual album, seven videos

A seven-track visual album — seven complete music videos — captured in a single stage day on one crew call.

  • Planned the whole album as one production block. Broke seven treatments into shootable setups, sequenced them to minimize set and wardrobe turnarounds, and built a schedule that got all seven in the can before wrap.
  • Booked the stage and ran a 20-person crew across camera, grip and electric, styling, hair and makeup, set design and carpentry, plus commissioned costume, jewelry and mask makers.
  • Managed the budget across the full album rather than per video — seven finished pieces on the resources most productions spend on one.
  • Ran the floor across all seven setups and supervised post through to delivery of the complete set.
