Creator Spotlight: Eduard Malanichev

Creator from 🇷🇺 Russia

Hi, Eduard! Please, tell us something about yourself.

My name is Ed, I am 19 years old and I am from Russia, the city of Vladimir. I have been working on Instagram filters since July 2019, and at the moment I work as a freelancer. I like to create interesting 3D masks in a futuristic and cyber punk style.

How many effects have you created so far and for which platforms?

About 60-80 filters for Instagram (for myself and commercial).

Name the best three effects you created and briefly describe them.

I am proud of my synthesis mask, I really put a lot of meaning into its creation and it was an interesting experience for me. Also I’m in love with my latest CRYOGENIC mask. I was inspired by computer games and fighting games and I enjoy creating such masks.

Which platform for creating AR filters is your favourite and why?

Spark AR.

What in your opinion makes an AR effect successful?

Own style and quality execution.
