Heaven is a place called Meadow! Vast, teeming with life, and a unique social experience. Frolic freely in the lush fields of Meadow - a unique multiplayer sandbox. 

Shelter 3 invites you to explore life in the jungle,
a world of large beasts and exotic vegetation. You will be an elephant - roaming with your family, seeking sustenance from the jungle’s waterways, caring for the young elephants, and learning to navigate from the elders. But you must stay fed, so keep moving!



I worked at Might And Delight studio as a junior animator at Shelter 3 and Meadows projects and made keyframe animations for elephants and elephant babies, crocodiles, buffaloes for Shelter 3 and more animations for elephant babies for Meadows . All animation made in Motion Builder.
Also, I worked on the teaser trailer with draft animatic in After Effects.


Symbiosis
Symbiosis got three nominations (Art, Design and Game of the Year) at the Swedish Game Awards 2018.

I was responsible for making animations, which were done in Autodesk Maya 2018. I worked with designers on implementing in Unreal Engine. Also I worked on creating some textures in Substance Designer.

Something kinda a working diary
Usually I'm very self-critical about my works and I understand how much I still have to learn, so this part is about teaching myself positive thinking and track skills development. I will gladly accept constructive criticism and advice.

Some works from sketching for animators, the course at Animationschool. 
Greeny
This is my first Zbrush character and first experience of motion capture, and I tried to act in mocap suit like my cartoony monster. I was a bit skeptical before but It was really fun and I realised that mocap can be really artistic thing.
So I want to transfer my mocap to this funny green monster.
It is gonna be part of my examination project at Futuregames.
This is first attempt to transfer mocap data to character with the help of autorig, not completely successful. I should to understand how to fix skinning, how to return the belly to the monster, make a rig for eyes and mouth, animate them, generally clean the animation. I know it will be plenty of technical issues but it would be awesome.

Miss me? Yes, Greeny is here.
Trying to understand rigging. It seems that someone is confused in the axes of rotation

The Barkers (Barboskins):
TV series for children
In 2010 I joined the team working on The Pooches, a popular animated TV series made by Studio Melnitsa in St. Petersburg, one of the largest animation studios in Russia.

My responsibilities included:
• Preparation of layouts
• Draft rendering of animations for rough cut editing
• Episodes cleanup together with episode director, artistic director, lead animator
• Simple lighting, complex lighting together with lighting supervisor
• Collaboration with Dynamic Effects and with Textures and Backgrounds departments
• Final rendering (Pixar Renderman)
• Compositing, 2D effects (After Effects, Premier, basic Nuke)
• (Autodesk Maya, Pixar Renderman, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop)

As a visualizer I was responsible for finding all kinds of visual and animation problems, logical discrepancies etc. Fixing this required tight collaboration with episode director, artistic director, lead animator, technical director and film editor.

Moonzy (Luntik and his friends):
TV series for pre-school children

I started my work at Studio Melnitsa, St.Petersburg on the project Moonzy since it's beginning in 2005 and worked on it until 2008. First seasons were made in 2D cutout technique (After Effects). Character design and backgrounds were made in Photoshop.

Official YouTube channel
In episode "Dandelion" I animated a lead character, a small, fuzzy creature named Moonzy.

I also participated in drawing of character turnarounds. For instance, in episode "Secret Box" I drew Pink and Green butterflies and animated most of scenes with them.

After studying at St. Petersburg State University of Film and Television I started working as a Character Assistant on "Hubba-bubba" commercials by Visotsky&Sikorsky Animation Studio in 2004 - 2005 (internship, later employment).
It was good old clay animation! My duty was to again and again sculpt plasticine characters for stop-motion animation.

Hi, my name is Dina Berkgaut!

I have working experience in different fields (2D cutout animation, 3D animation, layout, rendering, clay animation) and was engaged in different roles for movies, simulators, and advertising.
I moved to Stockholm with my family and after parental leave, I decided to expand my skills. I have studied 3D graphics at higher vocational game development education FutureGames and after an internship worked as an animator at Might And Delight for 2 years.

Since my earliest childhood and until now, I love looking around and noticing little details. I was always fascinated by how narrative creates meaning and how the image comes alive, so I do like to develop my skills as an animator and be part of a team that creates and animates stories.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me!
