I am Salman Hashmi, an Animation Director and Senior Gameplay Animator with 18+ years delivering character animation for AAA games, real-time cinematics, and interactive experiences. I lead animation teams, establish production workflows, and collaborate closely with design and engineering to deliver responsive, high-quality gameplay animation. My focus is on combat readability, motion accuracy, and player feedback, blending hand-key performance with motion capture to create grounded, believable action. I thrive on mentoring teams, articulating a clear animation vision, and solving technical challenges across the full development cycle. I aim to elevate animation systems, ensure style consistency, and improve gameplay feel by refining timing directly in-engine and by building robust production pipelines.…I am Salman Hashmi, an Animation Director and Senior Gameplay Animator with 18+ years delivering character animation for AAA games, real-time cinematics, and interactive experiences.
