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.
