Video based on Russian poem Nikolay Nekrasov ”Princess” 2018 June 03
In the 2nd year of Multimedia course I have made short video based on Russian poet Nikolay Nekrasov “Princess”.
This is an abstract fairytale composed by me in order not to re-tell whole story but it major aspects.
Again it focuses on theme of Nature.
Nature is a magical kingdom where princess lives. Princess is a Sun Godess “Amatera- su”from Japanese legend, on this role I have chosen my groupmate from China to stared in my short film. She perfectly suites this role in terms of her artistic skills and her beauty. During shot I was concentrated on her body posture and movements, she moves her hands really gently and slowly rises them up. She creates a mystic in her character being surrounded by Sun: The Queen of Solar system.

Fashion Film
Trend Theme Shooting Video Editorial & Photos are based on Neo-Renaisance theme which I have picked according on research of style trends.
In this photo editorial I want to show Neo-Renaissance in it’s own natural beauty showing appropriate outfits from this trend and my choice of outdoor location is justified by theme.
