Our team

Ivan used to be an artist at Soyuzmultfilm, has worked on Christopher Robin (Framestore studio), Jingliks season 1, and directed the animation "220 volts of love" (NTV television company). Now Ivan is an animation supervisor at Bazelevs film studio and a teacher.

OCA is Ivan's original project. The school was created with the aim to give students a solid understanding of animation and to consolidate the acquired skills in a real production. Course students have a unique opportunity to participate in the production of the show My Babushka smokes a pipe. 

Studying in OCA school, you gain the most valuable experience from working industry professionals benefitting from smaller groups.

Igor has worked on game cinematics for Plarium and CJ VFX studios, an IVI commercial, and a full-length cartoon "Mavka" by Animagrad studio. He was part of the team on the first episode of the animated series "My Babushka smokes a pipe". At the moment, Igor is the supervisor of the series "My Babushka smokes a pipe" and an animator of the OCA studio.

He started studying animation on his own a few years ago. However, quite soon he realized that without the help of experienced professionals and detailed regular feedback, one would not get far. Therefore Igor chose the OCA school of 3D animation and his teacher Ivan Pavlov. The choice that he has never regretted.

Professionally involved in computer graphics since 2006. Since 2010 he specializes in rendering and lighting. He worked as a leading lighting artist on the projects "Defenders" (cartoon), "The Princess and the Dragon" and "The Great Journey". He worked on the projects "Invasion", "Ice 2", "Coma", "Goalkeeper of the Galaxy", "Sye Raa narasimha reddy". And also a rendering supervisor on the projects "Lev Yashin", "The Key of Time" and "Saaho".

As the leader of his own lighting team he worked with "Aeroplane" studios (the Fixiki series), "100 Kilowatts", "Soyuzmultfilm", "Alisa Production", "3D Sparrow" (the Buba series), "Lucan", "Dragonfly", lighting shots for cinematics "Riot games" and "Rovio".

Alexey graduated from Bauman Moscow State Technical University majoring in "Robotics and Complex Automation" so he knows firsthand what body mechanics is. Besides he went to the Institute of Contemporary Art Problems and took the “New Norm” course at the Strelka Institute, which helps to give meaning to body mechanics. More than 10 years in animation, half of this time he spent under the guidance of Ivan Pavlov, who instilled in Alexey a conscious approach to animation. In addition, he worked in such studios as CGF (“Konek-Gorbunok” project) and Realtime (UK). In 2021, he won the Berlin Music Video Awards in the Best Animation nomination for the video "Rewind the Cassette Tape" (“Kasseta — Plenku Peremotai”).

With over 20 years of experience in computer graphics, the past 8 of which have been dedicated to rigging, Pavel has worked at renowned studios such as Animaccord, Trekhmer, Bazelevs, Dr. Pictures, Pixonic, and Nekki. His project portfolio includes films like Wolfhound and Attraction, music videos (including Tatu and others), commercials (M&Ms, Zic, Nike, and more), animated films like Belka and Strelka, Mavka, Buka, and animated series such as Masha and the Bear, Secret Room, Just You Wait, Lego, as well as games like Heroes Of Might and Magic 6, War Robots, Shadow Fight 3, Little Big Robots, and Spine.

Pavel believes that a rigger’s primary goal should be to create rigs that serve the animator well. Rigs should be both fast and convenient to use.
