Personal websites
I really enjoy nicely done flashed personal official websites of singers, bands, artists etc. I would say that's my favorite kind of websites, where I go for entertainment. Here's one that really impressed me. The style and simplicity, yet completeness of the website spoke to me, even though I'm not that big fan of the actual singer. Her name is Kristina Orbakaite; she is a quite big pop singer in Russia. I should give her credit for the stage performance and dance. She has a dance background so her choreography is always excellent.
ODS group
I can't not mention anything about ODS group -- a great design group located in Ukraine that does Animation , Logos and Corporate Identities Design , Graphic Design, Print Graphics , Illustration Services , Web Design , Flash Games/Presentations, Web Programming , Software Development . One of the funny sections is collages. The website has an English/Russian html/flash versions.
Flash cartoon
Very cure Russian flash carton about a little worm who is trying to escape all this bad things that are about to happen to him… But no one can run away from destiny…lol
It’s called “Misery Loves Company or If Anything Can Go Wrong It Will”
Antikiller
Came across this sweet graphics for credits for a Russian movie through a blog. What made me actually go to the website was the content of the post: "Don't go here. You won't find anything valuable." However, the author of the blog posted it anyways, despite the lack of value. The contradiction made me laugh.
Flash-animated cartoon
Antimult studio started its existence in April of 2003 when the first cartoon was born on www.antimult.ru . Now Antimuld produces quality flash-animated cartoons with very original, risky, sarcastic story lines. They definitely dont chose anything neutral and safe for their films. Somewhat sketchy
This film is called Smoking Kills.Click here for viewing.
"Tozhe ludi" (from Rus: people too) is a creative group that does illustrations, logos, packaging. To show what it is exactly what they do Tozhe ludi presented their spring novelty", Its a billboard and memory cards that in the near future will appear in cafes of the city of Moscow. Great way of promoting.
Flash commercial
Here is a Russian commercial that was done in Flash. I find it very cute. The product is paint and different designs for eastern eggs. For viewing click here
Klimov design
Ilya Klimov ("Klimov Design" studio) is a dynamic, modern, fresh, simplistic, but VERY detailed designer. I love how much attention he pays to the details, something importance of which I’ve been learning lately in my design experience. And the funny part is that simpler design is more attention details require. The studio’s specialties are so wide but in each area they are great. They do anything from logoes, layouts for magazines and papers to branding, advertising work, packaging and advertising photography. Of course, creative works was my favorite. Great inspiration for designers.
hand painted russian movie posters
When you come across heralds of currently showing foreign films
at cinemas around the country that were painstakingly hand-painted - the effect is quite stunning. While these posters are reappraised as art, not everyone thinks the painters are true artists. Nowadays if you are using a hand-painted
poster the public will think it's a cheap movie. That's why in recent years those marquees are increasingly a dying art. Artists who specialize in painting movie posters are finding it increasingly difficult to find work. Distributors have left them behind for slick digitally designed ones. A hand-painted canvas movie banner today costs between $60 and $80 and can be used outside three or four theaters
before the elements take their toll. A computer-designed banner printed on plastic costs up to $200, but can travel to over 20 theaters before it fades.
Here're the pictures of the posters for Men in Black2, 50 First Dates, Kill Bill, Troy, Terminator 3, Taxi 3, Bad Boys 2, SpyKids, Freaky Friday )))
This is Matrix 3
Wooden art
Here’s a website of a Russian… I guess he can be called artist in non traditional media. He makes everything out of wood. You won’t be able to understand it, but look at the pics… Wooden glasses frames, shoes, cell phone covers, and paper cases… amusing.
Power Flash -- try to compete!
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen. Hasn’t it seemed to all of us that we are pretty good at making some sweet flash and then fancying it up? Let’s admit. To kill any kind of self pride, you’re invited to see this. You’ll realize: What you did is a joke, what uncle cmart does – power. Straight from Moscow.
Lullaby
I love this little Flash Cartoon "Lullaby", done by Inna Volossov. Light, not annoying
