Issue No. 1 · Brisbane, Queensland

Social media content, start to finish.

I make social media content from start to finish: the topic, the script, the reel, carousel or post, and the publishing. I write in English and Russian, shoot and edit video, take photos, and illustrate and animate with AI.

The Fifty reel cover

reel + carousel + post, one worry

01 · Featured project · Concept, not published

The Fifty

A spec social campaign for a home cleaning business: a reel, a carousel and a Facebook post. All three answer one worry a client has: a stranger at home, touching their things.

A homeowner hides $50 under a sofa cushion to test the new cleaner. Script, characters, storyboard, AI animation, editing, sound design and cover art are mine. The reel later grew into a full animated series.

02 · Animated series · 4 episodes out

Thursdays at Marg’s

A wordless vertical cartoon about Marg, a suspicious homeowner, Mia, her cleaner, and Pav, a very large ginger cat. Marg sets a test, Mia passes it and leaves a yellow sticky note, and Pav gets the last word.

Scripts, characters, the house, storyboards, AI frames and animation, sound, editing and a poster for every episode are mine. I release it through my small animation studio, Kookaburra on the Shelf, which makes reels like this for businesses.

03 · AI photoshoot for brands · Personal project

Larisa in the jacarandas

I built an AI model from one portrait, dressed her in real pieces from real Australian brands and photographed her on a jacaranda street in Brisbane. 18 frames, graded to Kodak Gold. Where the generator drew the jewellery close, I replaced it by hand.

04 · Branded gifts · Concept, awaiting approval

Christmas gifts for a family law firm

Gifts for three groups at once: a team of 25, partners and clients. Many clients are going through a divorce, so there is no family Christmas imagery anywhere.

I wrote the concept and the presentation, checked Australian suppliers for prices, minimum orders and lead times, then made six product shots: dark still lifes with red law books, eucalyptus and Christmas bush in the brand’s own black, red and white. The official logo went back on every shot by hand.
