Team

Executive Producer

Pasha Puntus

He’s the human version of a motivational poster. He never lets laziness get the best of him, he’s always setting the bar higher and higher. He’s a master of taking on difficult challenges, if you ever think something is impossible, just give Pasha a call, he’ll figure it out, no problem.
And yes, he really whips the Llama’s ass!

Head of Sales

Alex Sytnik

Alex believes that the world can be saved with a little kindness and a lot of planks. He’s the master of staying calm in any situation, we’ve tried to make him angry, but it’s like trying to make a rock mad. He’s a healthy eating guru, one mention of quinoa and he’ll give you a lecture that will make you want to start a farm. He’s also managed to turn the office into a plank-doing cult, everyone is doing them at least 3 times a day now, thanks Alex.

Head of Production

Dan Shashkin

Dennis is a man of many talents, he loves watching intellectual movies and listening to RAP music. As the Head of Production, he’s created an entire season of animated series and even an animated feature film. He’s the Zen master of the office, always calm and collected, and the only one who can multiply numbers faster than a calculator, and Pasha Puntus.
He’s like a human calculator on steroids.

Technical Director

Sergey Metelski

He is a true tech wizard! He’s so obsessed with order and technology that he probably organizes his sock drawer using an algorithm he developed himself. His blog is a treasure trove of captivating stories, but getting him to speak up in a meeting is like pulling teeth. If you want him in a meeting, you better bring some serious firepower, like a pack of Sour Patch Kids or a lifetime supply of his Absolut vodka.
Don’t let his perpetually bored expression fool you – Serge is a walking encyclopedia of cutting-edge technology, and he can probably tell you more about quantum computing than you ever wanted to know. But deep down, he’s just a big good soul guy who loves nothing more than watching Terminator for the hundredth time with a glass of ice-cold vodka in one hand and his trusty motorcycle in the other.

Client Manager

Grigory Sobolev

After graduating from the University of Liverpool, he worked as a manager in architectural offices, where he learned the art of reading client’s mind, a sense of aesthetics and how to meet deadlines without losing his mind. He’s a two-time short film maker, one of which won the top prize from the hands of Emir Kusturica, he also worked as a producer and location scout in a mystery TV series, shot in the most challenging conditions. Instead of meditating, he makes films based on his own scripts and creates with Blender, that’s how he finds inner peace.

Client Manager China & Korea

Jane Phomina

Jane has a fiery passion for all things East and South East Asia, she started with a Bachelor’s degree in Chinese studies and ended up living, getting an MBA and working in Seoul.

Client Manager Asia Pacific

Julia Fonarkova

Adventure and ambition are the fuel that keep her engine running, she tackles any task with ease. To improve her English, she studied at London College and lived with an English family for a month, now her English is more than just okay. She’s traveled on business trips to places like Delhi and Tokyo, and before her trip to Delhi, she personally called 300 Indian companies in just 3 days, talk about determination.

CG Generalist

Arthur Zimin

Arthur used to be a stage actor, playing so many roles he lost count, but then he decided to trade in the theater for the digital world. He devoted himself to mastering Unreal Engine and character animation, now he’s the go-to guy for motion capture and heavy Unreal Engine projects with complicated camera movements and multiple characters in the frame. But even though he’s left the stage, he still can’t resist a good performance. He’s always in character, you never know if he’s just playing with you. He’s a fantastic actor and a master of CG.
