Rafiq consistently turned out excellent animation on a difficult schedule, He has a great attitude and work ethic and is always pleasure to be around. He proved himself to be a very accomplished key frame animator. I recommend him strongly, and all the best.

Shashi Prakash Rai

An artist with versatile skills. Thats what i will call Rafiq Ali. He has great command over key frame as well as motion capture whether its biped or qudraped & equally skilled in technical side. Always eager to learn & share, a good team player, can even manage a team with ease. Its a pleasure to work with such artists who can motivate you to push further. I recommend him highly for his role as a gaming animator.

      I was a part of 4 AAA titles where I used to edit Mo-cap data and cleanup as well as Animating characters where the data was twisted or bad.During this tenure, I have animated and edited several Creatures and Biped Character.Used several tools and scripts given by client and few tools like Mg tools,A tools,Studio Library to make work more efficient. In 2017 I lead a team of 12 team mates in the absence of my Supervisor about two months and delivered nearly 200 In-game animations on creatures,Ogre,Zombies and Player.Big challenge for me to lead my own teammates which eventually ended up well!It was a good experience :)
