1) TRICKY HANDS AND NO MORE TRICKS

Line Producer: Tatiana Shevchuk
Director: Natalia Demidova
Operator: Dmitry Peretrutov
Music: Baker Street Sound Studio & Post Production
Post-production studio: Mental Drive
Agency: Young & Rubicam
Client: Microsoft Ukraine
In this video we have adapted for local audience an overseas idea about the dangers of using unlicensed software. We only needed to pick up cast and a shoot according to the ready-made plot. The hardest thing was to choose for the spot the most appropriate hands – they bear primary visual and semantic load. Professional magicians were cast. We were looking for the one, who would be capable of depicting the danger multifarious pirate software in just a few gestures. Such a limited and at the same time demanding role went to Roman, a talented actor and magician. Not only he performed admirably his main task, but also managed to amuse the shooting crew with his skill of a magician.
2) MTS MMS
Executive Producer: Yelena Sitenko
Line Producer: Tatiana Shevchuk
Directed by: Lawerence Jacomelli
Operator: David Griffiths
Agency: BBDO Moscow
Client: MTS-Russia
Partner: Amber studio
We recently shot two spots – "Meeting" and "The Bus" - for MTS-Russia client and its new advertising campaign "MMS - Million Tiny Events" (Million Malenkikh Sobytiy). Shooting "The Bus" film did not justify the status of “a tiny event” and became a heroic event being accompanied by minus 26 degrees temperature. The actors were saved by a hair dryer used as a heater. With this appliance the stylists dried and warmed the pants of the main character, on which, according to the plot, a little boy splashes water from a pistol. Water froze on his trousers momentarily, but the actors stood it bravely, ignoring this small inconvenience. Two films supporting MMS as a means of communication were only a part of a promotional series. All stories in this series were united by funny life situations and a hit of "The Velvet Underground", which you still want to sing for a long time: "I'm sticking with you”.
3) MEGAFON
Executive Producer: Natalya Romaniuk
Line Producer: Tatiana Shevchuk
Director: Tom Geens
Operator: Sergei Trofimov
Agency: Instinct (Moscow)
Client: MegaFon
Partner: Focus Films
This time our extensive experience of shooting for mobile operators led us to ... the laundry. The culmination - appearance of a girl of marvellous beauty and grace wearing a white dress, who makes all the colours in green, the corporate colour of MegaFon, with the help of a washing machine and magic.
British director Tom Jeans (Tom Geens) had his own idea of the beautiful heroine and her moving manner. To convey for the crew the idea of the culmination dance, the director arranged a video broadcast of his dance using a webcam and Skype.
We didn’t lack beautiful girls though. Not only a bright appearance was considered, but also the dancing talent. It took a long casting to select the actress fitting the director's expectations the most. Eva, a young, confident and plastic beauty, became the one. She bore the 18-hour shooting on 11-centimeter-high heels with dignity, and never complained about difficulties. The actress, and the whole crew were praised by Tom - the demanding director was satisfied with the results.
4) ZVENIGORA

Directed by: Yuri Kovalyov
Operator: Dmitry Pilunsky
Music: Baker Street Sound Studio & Post Production

Agency: RUSYCH
Client: Zvenigora TM
The task of the film was to show that production of Zvenigora cheese is the most natural process of turning fresh milk into cheese without any technological intervention. On the shooting eve the LimeLite filming crew and the special effects studio conducted tests with pouring milk, its whirling and turning in cheese crumb. More than 15 litres of milk were bought in the marketplace for tests. After numerous attempts to sour milk naturally, we decided to try to turn milk into yogurt using chemicals, but the unsouring milk did not yield to this. Eventually, no extreme experiments took place on the set, and we used most fresh milk, real curd from Zvenigora factory and, of course, cheese proper. The filming crew was able to devour cottage cheese on industrial scale. It is delicious indeed!
5) STARCINEMA
Executive Producer: Vladimir Yatsenko
Line Producer: Albert Zurashvili
Director: Maxim Ksyonda
Operator: Dmitry Yurikov

Post-production studio: Mental Drive
Agency: Cheeese
Client: Kazakhstan
While preparing the film, a set was built, that replaced completely the actual location. The film was shot for more than 24 hours. Through the efforts of director, production, wonderful agency, and post production magic – we have a great movie for theatres of Kazakhstan with Dolby digital 5 +1 sound. Only our local popcorn cups can give away its Kievan origin.
6) ALFA-BANK
Executive Producer: Natalya Romaniuk
Line Producer: Albert Zurashvili
Director: Gleb Orlov
Operator: Evgeniy Yermolenko
Writing Music: Baker Street Sound Studio & Post Production
Post-production studio: Mental Drive
Agency: Michurin
Client: Alfa-Bank
The most difficult thing about this video was to ensure that our actors, acting as common bank customers, resemble the celebrities completely. Stylists’ and make-up artists’ magic did the trick – we had striking resemblance. The effect was tested on people who did not know the concept of video. Another heroine of the film didn’t need the stylists’ services and makeup – she is by nature similar to her counterpart, the Queen’s dog. This actress made the day for all crewmen.
7) DJUICE FREEZE
Executive Producer: Yelena Sitenko
Line Producer: Albert Zurashvili
Director: Frank Borin
Operator: Luis Branquinho Oliveira
Music: TNMK

Client: Djuice
Team of the customer:
Eleonora Dukova - Head of Trademarks Management
Anton Maksakov - Brand Manager
Vitaliy Tsymbalyuk - Junior Brand Manager
Djuice replenished the impressive collection of Ukrainian show-business stars who were its protagonists once again. This time it was TNMK band. The location was chosen perfectly for the story - the vast bus fleet, solid concrete, and it was much colder inside the location than outside. Melting snow dripped from the roof and there were puddles on the concrete floor everywhere. To make this film successful we needed to find a director who could combine a professional talent of the advertisement director and rapper clip shooting experience. And so we did - we invited the real ace of his business, Frank Borin. He has a huge list of gangster and rapper clips shot in the U.S. for such renowned artists and bands as Eminem, CypressHill, Xzibit and many others. The third whale of this film - Extreme Brothers stunt team. They had to push themselves to the limit and show all their skills – they had to swing on ropes and hang on cranes. That's how we got a real cosmic story.
8) ESSENTIALE
Executive producer: Daria Andruschenko
Line Producer: Olga Nepomenko
Director: Yuri Kovalyov
Operator: Yuri Korol’
Music: Baker Street Sound Studio & Post Production
Post-production studio: Mental Drive
Agency: Publicis Visage
Client: Sanofi-Aventis
The most treacherous moment about medicines commercials is to keep the audience from the unpleasant associations with diseases and old age. The leading actress in this film, young and attractive Ilona Boiko, was not afraid to be aged for story sake. Her boldness, of course, was supported by the make-up artists’ skill, as well as the happy ending - the return of youth and beauty in the last shot. We had a long and careful casting of the heroine, as we needed a really talented actress, able not only to convey different emotions and states of the same person, but even to serve as a mirror of one of the most important organs of human body. We got a healthy and life-asserting result - the way the proper effect of the medicine advertisement on the audience should be.

Client: life:)
It was very fun to shoot this film. And not one but three films at once. Besides the main advertising subject, we have prepared two viral videos with the same main characters - the sharks. The entire film crew became attached to them as to their children. This story combined student skit show and puppet theatre. We managed to sew the costumes in just five days. Real theatrical stage set where every element was managed by man were built,: the waves, and the clouds, and the sun, and the boat. Owing to this all parts of the picture moved autonomously. The crew had a great fun, especially when virals were filmed and the sharks were dancing with bleeding surfers’ feet.

Line producer: Daria Andruschenko
Director: Jorge Malpica
Operator: Roman Vasyanov

Agency: ADVENTA LOWE
Customer: Kyivstar JSM CJSC
Filming of the project took place in the last days of November, when it was quite cold and gloomy, but this in no way affected the summer mood of the film. We managed to gather a great team for this project - Mexican director Jorge Malpica and a talented Russian operator, Roman Vasyanov. The main challenge of this film was to conduct on-location filming in the Crimea – we had to shoot a lot of locations during one day’s light part, and at the same time try to make it look summer in the shot. The whole team worked as a whole, and only through such an ideal cohesion could we meet the very tight shooting schedule and, respectively, fit in one day’s light part. Filming was performed on a very steep hillside in Balaklava, as well as on the quay at Sevastopol. We shot in Kiev for the second day. We shot the final scene at St. Sophia's Square, and all interior scenes in the VDNKh exhibition centre. The footage was scanned, and the team then went to the colour correction in the newest studio in Lisbon. Then began the long process of Post Production. Thus, with joint efforts a beautiful and majestic film was created.
