Avik

Avik, a native of Armenia, has a career of recording emotions for over 30 years. Although lacking formal education, today, many consider him our most versatile cameraman and director. The principle of life, work ethic, and continuous investment in his knowledge enabled him this flattering title.

He is a cameraman who shoots in the air, on the ground, and underwater. With a photo camera, microphone, or video camera. It doesn’t matter to him whether he is disturbed by a parachute belt, a car, or an oxygen bottle fixed on his diving suit – as long as the emotion is successfully transmitted.

Avik’s projects can’t even be counted, and they are scattered all over the world. He has lived and worked in different countries and cultures – Armenia, Turkmenistan, Russia, Europe, and the USA – all the way to Hollywood. It’s finally time to settle down – in Tokyo.

Avik Shanich, rodom Armenac, ovih dana broji punih 30 godina kako se bavi bilježenjem emocija. Iako bez formalnog obrazovanja, danas ga mnogi smatraju možda i našim najsvestranijim i najzanimljivijim snimateljem i redateljem. Životni princip, radni elan i kontinuirano ulaganje u vlastito znanje, omogućili su mu tu laskavu titulu.

Snimatelj je koji snima u zraku, na zemlji i pod vodom. S fotoaparatom, mikrofonom ili kamerom. Njemu nije važno ometa li ga u radu pojas padobrana, automobila ili boce s kisikom na ronilačkom odijelu – sve dok je emocija uspješno prenesena.

Projekti Avika ne mogu se niti nabrojati, a razasuti su po cijelome svijetu. Živio je i radio u različitim državama i kulturama – Armenija, Turkmenija, Rusija, Europa i Amerika – sve do Hollywooda. Napokon je došlo vrijeme da se skrasi – u Tokyu.
