Benjamin Fichet

Senior Rigging & Technical Artist for animated series and feature films. Ten years across animated series and feature films — as rigging artist, lead, supervisor and tools developer. Since childhood I’ve been drawn to art, math and tech at once; rigging is where they meet, so I never had to choose. That path has taken me from France to Canada and now Spain, and I’m happy to move again for the right project.
