I’m Rashid Akhtar, a passionate and dynamic animator with over 20 years of diverse industry experience across 2D, 3D animation, gaming, and VFX. My career has been defined by a blend of artistic creativity and strong technical proficiency, allowing me to bring characters and creatures to life across multiple platforms and styles. What I Do Best: Character & Creature Animation: Specialized in crafting lifelike performances for in-game sequences and cinematic cut scenes. I use a hybrid approach of hand-keyed animation and motion capture, bringing nuance and impact to every move. Cross-Platform Expertise: From console games to film and mobile, I adapt quickly to different formats and pipelines, always delivering high-quality animation. Creative + Technical Balance: I approach animation challenges with both artistic sensitivity and problem-solving logic, ensuring compelling and technically sound results. Leadership & Collaboration: Experienced in project management, pipeline planning, and scheduling animation systems. I thrive in collaborative team environments and believe in clear communication and mentorship. Strong Toolset: Proficient in industry-standard tools like Maya, MotionBuilder, 3DS Max, Unreal Engine, Unity, Nuke, Equilizer, and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Premiere, Flash).…I’m Rashid Akhtar, a passionate and dynamic animator with over 20 years of diverse industry experience across 2D, 3D animation, gaming, and VFX.
