Artem is the son of a video pirate. At one point, there were 200 VCRs copying six movies simultaneously. You could press a button on a switch box and watch whatever sci-fi or action film was rolling. It was the 90s, when VFX equaled MAGIC. It began with Lawnmower Man and solidified with Jurassic Park. A small book his father brought home changed an ordinary kid’s life. It was a 3D Studio manual. No more football — only keyboard and mouse. Creating life under his fingers was far more exciting than scoring a goal or playing hide-and-seek. Since then, not much has changed. First educated as a linguist and later as a cinematographer, Artem forged a unique approach: treating VFX as a way of telling multilayered stories with color and pixels.
