Ilya Buzinov

Director and Lead Animator

I am an animator, teacher, and director with 10 years of experience in the industry. I have led the animation and directed more than 200 projects and taught animation directing to about ten students at the HSE ART & design school.

After finishing the animation directing course, for several years I worked on motion design and mapping for music concerts. Later, I immersed myself in the animation world, becoming the lead animator in Guy Germanika's project "What it's like to be a real man" in 2016. The film was shown at many major domestic festivals and received various awards.

Since 2019, I have been working at Petrick as a director and lead animator. During this time, I have participated in many studio projects, including directing animation for music videos by Austin and Dich, which have received awards at international festivals such as Annecy, Berlin Music Video Awards, D&AD, and many others.

I have extensive experience working in the gaming industry, having directed videos for games such as Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, Atomic Heart, and others.

As a director, I pay a lot of attention to movement and rhythm. It's important for me to create interesting choreography and editing for the animated characters. In animation, I especially love cinematic techniques, when I can convey an idea not only through the action or reaction of the animated character but also through a special perspective or precise detail.
