Hi, I’m Plamen. I’ve been in the industry for 8 years as both a rigger and animator but have focused on rigging roles recently. During my career I’ve worked on several shows for the BBC, Nickelodeon, Amazon and Netflix. I currently work at Dog Ears as a Lead Technical Animator on an upcoming show in partnership with Cartoon Saloon. My favourite aspects of rigging are problem solving and collaborating with the design and animation teams to develop the show’s rigging style.

I have worked in the industry for over a decade. I focus on the development of systems to help streamline the animation process. These processes help to solve animation issues and achieve performances to tell stories as clearly and effectively as possible. I have developed a variety of rig setups ranging from extremely complex to fast and streamlined. I have directed multiple episodes for television and worked across departments throughout the entirety of production.

I started rotoscoping frames from the screen of my television when I was 7. Thirty-three years have passed and I still haven't stopped animating.
