Absurd comedy video for DJ Oguretz about how the gypsy baron took over the internet cable, but was defeated and all the inhabitants got access to broadband internet

We came up with a very special art style: gypsy cyberpunk

First sketches

Sketch for the scenery "Baron's Internet club"

The scenery is completely built in the studio of Moscow Film School

Great handmade detales!

Sketch for the scenery "DJ Oguretz' home sound studio"

The real place where this set was brought to life

Details: fake giant spring button

Sketch for the scenery "Entrance to the club of Gypsy Baron"

A real abandoned house, the building of the former canteen, which was chosen to implement the idea

Transformer box sketches

Work process

Implementation of the idea

Some beautiful film photos of Alina Ponomareva

It was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work! We even went on a small expedition to shoot scenes for the studio and the entrance to the club. "Back to selo" is not my first diploma for all the years of studying at the film school, but definitely my favorite.

The rest of the photos can be seen in the gallery below.

This project was filmed as my graduation work at the Moscow Film School. So that means a lot to me. A real order from Dom.ru and a music clip - such a combo turned out in the end.

Cool idea, the opportunity to realize the craziest fantasies and my favorite friends are nearby - that's what I remember looking at the finished video.
