Yuri Dorokhin Biography

For several years, he - of course, a creative person - was able to build together with his colleagues a rather successful business that ensures a completely comfortable existence to him and his team. Dorokhin himself avoids himself a creative person. Creativity is Tarkovsky, he explains. He calls himself a craftsman and sometimes, when there are not enough “voices”, he reads the texts of the Grishkovets on the right, he was sick, but continued to act in the video at Dorokhin without experience and large budgets Dorokhin shot a clip for the “principle of uncertainty” in childhood and quite conscious youth our hero dreamed of serving in cavalry, he became a candidate in a master, a candidate in a master And six months before the draft in the army, he worked as a groom at the Irkutsk State Superior.

When he and Andrei Podablukovsky, the best friend of Yuri and the operator of the studio, were drafted into the army, even from the "training" they tried to get to the cavalry regiment. An answer came from the ministry, after which we received an overlap. The letter clearly said about the need to comply with subordination: “Why do people send letters to you, bypassing lower authorities?

A cavalryman with a camera, although I have a feeling that the director Yuri could not even save the cavalry from the career of the director. A fascination with a photograph, which he owes partly his profession, has already appeared at seven years old. I took my first picture to them. A serious “Zenith” - bought a serious camera - when he worked at the hippodrome.

The first experiments began during service in the army. When Andrei Pollukovsky marched on the parade ground, I ran around, making a photo report for our wall newspaper. After my return from the army, a cousin advised me to enter the Filfak ISU. She knew that at school I "prescribed". For works, he always received the “five” for the artistic part and “Kol” - for spelling. Nevertheless, in two months Andrei and I pulled the “Russian language”, I passed the oral exam to the “fourth”.

When we acted, I got a job at the journalism department for Rudolf Georgievich Berestenyov, where for the first time I was able to shoot on the film. Then one friend of mine taught at a police school, a “column”, they had a video camera. For her rental, for example, I wrote scripts on the medical unit - it was supposed to make a serious film for the police. He dragged me to the newly created television company, which was then called the "Video Canal." They took me there reluctantly.

And mainly because I had a camera. On a stork we were on the day and spent the night. The first game shooting began to appear. After him, taxi drivers began to recognize me, because the stork was a popular channel. They did not take money from me. In general, there were many advantages: the girls asked for autographs, photographed ... The music of a thousand rains then Yuri shot a video for the song “The principle of uncertainty“ ““ Valley of a thousand rains ”.

He was friends with the leader of the group Vadim Mazitov. The song for a long time occupied the upper lines of the hit parade of the Radio Radio. The clip was shot on the principle of “with a world on a thread”: nature was looking for a common friend Alexei Elizarieva, an ancient Ikarus and a power station was provided by entrepreneur Valentin Golyshev, and firefighters gave a staircase.

They allowed us to refuel, pay overtime driver, buy vodka for local residents who were supposed to drive rams for filming. Buy cigarettes, eat, ”recalls Yuri Dorokhin. The clip itself was shot literally in a day. Moreover, I faced a choice-to shoot or not, I wanted to transfer: something was not ready. It’s good that I didn’t bear it - the next day it was snowing.

Vadik was already sick at that time, he was hard on the set. He was sitting on a bottle box-he could not stand for a long time. He had a progressive illness of Bekhterev - ossification of the spine. But for some reason, at that moment we did not guess to their passage to turn off the sound. This was my first big project: at a certain moment a stupor came. I did not know what to do.

Then Andrei admitted to me that he also did not know what to do. It is clear that we have no experience that is acquired over many years of training at VGIK. Therefore, sometimes they invented a bicycle. We studied, stuffing cones. The excitement and the fact that we became stars, of course, were not. There was an assessment of friends. Maybe then it was necessary to move in this direction further.

But it did not work out - television took a lot of time. The mood of the Grishkovtsy improved another of the most discussed work by Yuri Dorokhin, a video with the now fashionable writer Evgeny Grishkovts. The initiator of the project was Anna Matison, a member of their small team. She impressed me with the plus sign, of course. He listened to his "dog" in the radio version. Then Anya suggested: let's do the project with him.

I doubted whether he would agree to work with us, ”recalls Yuri. He asked: “What do you want? Grishkovets replied: “Not a question at all. There will be a good job, I will promote it. ” Choose "The mood improved." Anya wrote the script with my little participation.We sent him to the Grishkovts, when he read it, spoke compliments for a long time, they say, I am sure that there would be a good movie language because he saw our work.

In general, he gave “good”. We agreed that we will work during his tour in Irkutsk. We searched for the site for a long time. I wanted the place to be filled with air. Then they found a hefty “glass” at the South stop. We gathered all the equipment, parted in advance. I feel: he is bad. As Vladimir Demchikov later said, who invited the Grishkovtsy to Irkutsk, Eugene rode up and said: “Taking out the shooting must be canceled, I cannot say.

And in the evening I have a performance. " Nevertheless, he came in, looked around. Then I realized that a person had a relationship: he saw a platform where there is a make -up artist, everything was prepared as it should. He said: “I can't say. If you want, I will even dance. Speak - no. " I answer: no problem. And the Grishkovets made a real “moon gait”, it turned out simply amazing.

On the site, Grishkovets speaks only a few phrases, he plays everything else. He is in the past - Mime. In the final, he even dispersed, although he still did not feel very good. We finished on a major note, and when we parted, he said: “I never had such filming that began so hard and ended so well.” He was really good, the mood improved. There are nine episodes in the video, now we are working on it.

I think he will be ready by the end of autumn. The artisan of the large screen “Today too many call themselves artists. And this does not oblige anyone to anything. Therefore, I say that I just have certain skills of operator and directorial crafts. This is normal, ”he emphasizes. What he turned out - to judge the viewer and the customer. " I watch a selection of studio works. I liked the advertising video where the men steamed in a Russian bath in search of coolness for some reason do not dive into the river, which they have literally under their side, and run a dozen meters into the car of a well-known brand and include air conditioning.

It happens that someone alone pulls the plot. Sometimes three or five ideas can come in one evening, but it happens that you break your head. For the head to work, you need constant training. Another thing is that there is little time left for this. But on the other hand: there is no idea - there is no production.

I always try to listen to him. You need to be a fundamental person, but compromise.
