PROFECCIONAL EXPERIENCE
Аpr. 2025 - Present
VSRM | Motion-Designer & CG-Generalist
Managing motion graphics projects at the digital agency VSRM: from integrating motion into user interaction elements
(websites, apps, interactive banners) to creating full-scale promo videos, explainers, and video presentations
My responsibilities include project management, coordinating contractors (for graphics and animation), outsourcing co-executors,
and developing creative concepts and ideas based on moodboards and reference lists. I also write scripts for animation and video
content tailored to each project
I’m also hands-on with complex projects that require the development of 3D elements, interactive objects,
and the integration of animation and video into websites and applications.
CPLUS | Motion-Designer
Jun. 2024 - Present
I provide support with both static and animated content for high-profile music artists under the CPLUS label.
This includes the creation of visual intros, screen graphics, and design assets used in the execution of large-scale marketing
campaigns.
Sep. 2023 - Present
OSUMA | Motion-Designer
Motion Designer at the music management agency OSUMA
Creating advertising creatives and ready-made templates for new artist releases. Providing graphic support—from small tasks to
designing and animating covers, and creating screens for concerts. Among the major artists I collaborated with under OSUMA’s
guidance are The Hatters, OG Buda, Asper X, and ZODIVK (with around 1–2 million listeners on Yandex.Music)
Due to tight deadlines and high responsibility towards top artists, my role required fast and high-quality delivery of all requested
tasks, which I consistently achieved. My work has been featured, for example, at Tony Raut’s concert
and on the Telegram channels of DIL ARA, The Hatters, and TATARKA.
The Wall Global | Motion-Designer
Visual support for the NFT ecosystem The Wall Global.
Aug. 2023 - Mar. 2024
This includes the development of advertising creatives, social media content,
and explainer presentations to communicate key messages and promote the platform effectively.
Sep. 2020 - Present
vvsmorodin.com | Freelance
Project management in the production of video creatives.
I lead collaborations with contractors to develop promotional videos and animated content — from in-product integrations to
standalone video assets.
Through my own motion design agency, we’ve successfully delivered over a hundred projects.
