Year 2000 – I started with digital editing and PowerPoint presentations creation. My first project was “Cyril and Methodius”, which was already a full multimedia experience.
Year 2001- Continued working with digital editing started experimenting with 3d animation (3ds max). I finished another presentation-“Macedonian Revolutionary Organization” which had improved graphics and animations.
Year 2002- I made my first 3d animation about World War 2, which was a part of the so-called presentation. I also worked on two more presentations: “Ancient Macedonia” and “Nobel Prize Winners”, which was also an attempt to create encyclopedia content.
This year I also worked for a production studio “Dream Factory” where I worked mainly on commercials.
Year 2003- I created another animation about World War 2, went on a historical conference in Bologna (Euroclio 2003), where the presentation was projected. A also made another animation-“Rebirth” which was presented at Tetovo 2004-national festival of non-professional film, where it received two prizes:
