@vichians
Creative lead and animation director specializing in previs, animatics, and AI-accelerated iteration.
What I'm looking for
I am a creative lead and animation director who turns scripts and ambiguous briefs into clear, persuasive previs and animatics that hold up through client feedback and production realities. I direct cross-disciplinary teams—animation, illustration, rigging, VFX, and compositing—to refine shot design, intention and brand tone while maintaining continuity and visual clarity.
Across commercial and film projects, I have driven script-to-storyboard development, directed motion-capture sessions, and owned end-to-end quality control—continuity, geography, scale, timing, staging and pacing—to catch issues early and deliver approval-ready test animatics. I balance creative ambition with resource constraints by proposing practical staging and shot-design solutions to meet schedules.
I integrate AI-assisted workflows to accelerate iteration without compromising craft, work closely with agencies and producers to align intent and style, and bring calm, decisive leadership that elevates teams' best work while ensuring authenticity for local markets.
