About

Christopher Poplin

I am a visual storyteller. Whether through previsualization on a feature animation, creating architecture and product visualizations, 3D environment modeling, or photography, I am passionate and curious about the capacity stories give us to inform, influence, and inspire those we serve. Having worked for animation and effects studios in Los Angeles for the past twenty years, I’ve proven capable of delivering on leadership, vision, collaboration, and execution at the highest levels of creative digital production.

Layout Supervisor, Disney Toon Studios

Richard Turner

I have been privileged to work with Christopher Poplin on several animated features over the past twelve years both at Disney Feature Animation (Tarzan, Treasure Planet) and Dreamworks Animation (How to Train Your Dragon). His creativity, collaborative spirit and genuine good nature have helped make all of these films wonderful to create and supervise. In particular, his skills in quick animation and both rough and cleanup camera motion are huge pluses for any Layout Department. His talents are wide-reaching in as much as he has fulfilled the roles of EFX TD, Layout TD and Rough Layout artist with equal strength and flair.

Gil Zimmerman

I worked with Christopher Poplin for about 3 years at Disney. I ran a small crew and it was vital everyone worked together and supported each other. Christopher worked exceptionally well this environment. It comes naturally to him. In addition to his people skills which are exceptional, he produced a great deal of solid high caliber work for me. He’s technically very strong and was often the go to person when crew members would get stuck. I highly recommend Christopher for any layout or Previs work.
