In summer 2025, I designed and led a two-week animation workshop at TUMO Yerevan for 22 participants aged 13 to 22. Inspired by the work and aesthetics of Sergei Parajanov, we developed and produced a short film together under the theme "Bringing a Museum to Life". The project began with a pixilation shoot at the Parajanov Museum in Yerevan and continued through a full postproduction pipeline, including compositing, additional animation, and sound design.
Throughout the workshop, participants explored the foundations of animation, from core principles to storytelling techniques,and applied them in a hands-on, production-oriented setting.
