Oleg Kulinich

Director and 3D Visual Researcher

I have an engineering background: I’m a graduate of the "Automation Systems Management and Control" department.

There, I became interested in filming, worked at the student television as an operator and editor, and later as an executive editor.

From 2012 to 2017, I worked as a freelancer as an animator and director.

From 2017 to the present, I have been working with Petrick — first as an animator, then as an art director and director.

As a director, I have participated in such studio projects as “Zemfira – Austin” (Berlin Music Video Awards: Best Music Video) and “Angry Birds Dream Blast” (NYX Game Awards: Grand Winner).

My engineering education helps me understand technical details, and my experience as a director (and the number of films I watched) lets me come up with storylines. For me, each project is like a construction set. The number of details is limited, but imagination is not. Even with a small number of pieces you can build something interesting. Each time it's a surprise — which brick will be the missing one? A speck of dust in the sun's rays? A glare on the camera? Or a small scratch?
