EnglishWhat is Pushing Pixels?
Updated
Pushing Pixels is the personal website of Kirill Grouchnikov, described on the site as "my little corner of the web." It is a long-running personal content site rather than a company or news publication, and its main focus is interviews about the craft of visual storytelling, with a particular emphasis on screen graphics in film and television.
Who runs it
The site identifies its author directly: "My name is Kirill Grouchnikov and this is my little corner of the web." He notes that he works at Google on the Play team. The site also links to an About page for further background.
What content it covers
The homepage organizes content into three main areas:
| Section | Focus | Example entries |
|---|---|---|
| Interviews on the art and craft of visual storytelling | Production design, costume design, and cinematography | Interviews on "Verity," "I Live Here Now," "Insidious: Out Of The Further," "Fall 2: Deadpoint" |
| Interviews on screen graphics in film and TV | On-screen interfaces and graphics work | "Alien: Earth," "Demolition Man," and interviews with Danny Ho, Clark Stanton, and Noah Schloss |
| General thoughts, musings, and deliberations | Project updates and personal posts | Aurora 2.5.0, Radiance 9.0.0, Radiance 8.5.0, Aurora 2.0.0, DragonCon 2025 parade highlights |
Each interview section links to a "Browse all interviews" page, and the general section links to "Read all from General."
Other site elements
The site also references tags or projects including In Motion, Fantasy UI, and Mark Coleran, alongside the About page and a search function. The footer states: "All content copyright © 2007-2026 Kirill Grouchnikov," indicating the site has been publishing content over a long period.
When it is useful
Pushing Pixels is worth checking if you want first-hand interviews with people who design and build visual elements for film and TV — especially screen graphics and interface work — or if you follow Kirill Grouchnikov's own project updates such as Aurora and Radiance. It is not a general news site or a commercial product page; it is a personal archive of interviews and notes.
