I have worked with Christopher for many years both as an artist and supervisor. Christopher has the rare combination of artistic skill and technical knowledge that make him a great asset in all aspects of film making. Christopher is the guy I choose to be on my team first. He is very personable and collaborative with everyone. Christopher is the guy I call first when I a start any project. I look forward to working with Christopher in the future.
Layout Supervisor, Disney Toon Studios
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.
Director, Dreamworks Television Animation
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.
