Paween Sarachan
Head of Assets at Igloo Studio
Paween Sarachan has been working in the animation and VFX industry for over a decade, and boasts experience creating various rigging styles. He’s worked on the League of Legends and Valorant cinematics at Axis Studios, and the Prehistoric Planet documentary series on Apple TV. He also worked on Aquaman and The Last Kingdom while at MPC.
I've worked directly with Paween and I know he has brilliant artistic and technical skills and creates rigs that animators enjoy using. He has also mentored junior- and mid-level riggers so I'm confident that the techniques demonstrated in this Gnomon Workshop will be complex but easy to understand.

I found him excellent to work with, always looking for creative and proactive solutions to any technical challenges. As an animator, I found his rigs intuitive and elegant to use, allowing me to focus completely on creative posing, the excellent deformations always lending themselves to beautiful shaping.

Senior Animator at FramestorePaween stands out as an exceptionally skilled rigger. He's just top-notch in both technical and artistic aspects. If a rig isn't up to par, he'll tweak it to make it better. And even if it's already good, he'll somehow make it evenbetter and optimized. I consistently benefit from his valuable technical advice. Plus, he's very good at breaking down tricky problems into smaller, easier bits.
