My name is Aleksey. I am art director and scenic designer.
My job is my vocation and my passion. I have been doing it for over 10 years acquiring experience and skills in different areas. I have created and designed dozens of stage sets and decorations. I can create an amazing atmosphere using textures, colors, and lighting . I am always changing, learning and challenging myself. I am trying to liberate my potential and achieve the unachievable.
I am currently responsible for: - studying scripts and discussing ideas with the director;
- communicating my ideas to costume, make-up, props and lighting designers;
- working out potential problems, such as lighting or complex scene changes;
- researching historical, contemporary or futuristic details to get the right look for the production;
- creating effective designs within the constraints of available budget;
- sketching design ideas to produce a ‘storyboard’, showing what the sets will look like scene by scene;
- building and photographing scale models;
- estimating costs and preparing production schedules;
- overseeing set building and decoration;
- making any adjustments needed during rehearsals.
I started my career in design as visualization specialist. Before that I had studied a lot, attended different courses in design and architecture, took part in conferences, went to exhibitions, etc. My first job was in visualization department of Channel One, the main Russian TV channel. I was responsible for scenic creation and modification as well as stage lighting and different design solutions. I worked in cooperation with all other departments, i.e. directing, technical, script, production, etc. Everything was in 3D and we could see or modify or focus on any part in real time, all functions were available. After some time I was promoted to chief specialist and then became Head of Visualization Department.
Simultaneously I worked for a period of time as broadcast designer in order to study motion graphics. Channel One is the biggest most well-known and highest-rated channel in Russia, using all modern design techniques and equipments.
