Rinat Gazizov's first major work was for Lennauch film studio in 1988, when he and Konstantin Bronzit directed the animated short "Very Small Tragedies". In 1991 he directed "Midnight Games" for Pilot studio in Moscow. This short is about the strange goings on at night when we are all asleep, but when we wake everything is as it should be…Or is it?

In 1992, still working for Pilot studio, he directed "Introduction" (right) another spectacular short full of oddities. In this animation strange creatures undergo metamorphosis as one scene blends into the next.

Gazizov (b. 1962 in Kirov, Russia) has created more than 25 short films, 20 animated music videos, more than 60 advertisements and has illustrated 14 books for children. He has recieved the prestigious "NIKA" prize from the Academy of Cinematic Arts of Russia, and the "OVATION" for his music videos.

In 1981 Ivan Maximov began work as an illustrator for a number of Russian newspapers and magazines, before he decided to take courses in film direction and screenplay (1986 - 1988) which led to his first major animated work "FRU - 89 From Left to Right". His unique style of animation led to high acclaim and many prizes for the shorts that followed, "5/4", Libido of Benjamino", "Wind Along the Coast" etc.

Although Maximov is best known for his animation shorts he has also been involved in many animated advertisement campaigns, music clips, and has even helped to develop a video game based on his animation called "Full Pipe". Since 2002 he has been teaching future animators at the School - Studio Shar and VGIK.
