I’m Ilya Minin, a video production professional based in Sochi, Russia, working across filming and post-production since 2009. I combine on-location shooting (including aerial/drone work) with editing, color grading, sound editing, titles, and motion graphics to deliver polished videos for commercial, corporate, hospitality, travel, and event projects.
I also specialize in 3D animation and generative AI production. Using Blender for 3D graphics and tools like Seedance, Kling, Google Veo, Runway, and ElevenLabs, I create animated stories, advertising content, and AI-enhanced sequences—often blending live-action footage, 3D animation, and AI-generated elements through compositing to produce finished films.
