Saif Munawar

3D animator

LINKEDIN, PORTFOLIO

Meet Saif, our talented 3D Animator at Koffeecup! As an animator, Saif's mission is to breathe movement into characters, objects, and vehicles, adding that extra spark of interest to everything he touches.

Drawing inspiration from the real world, Saif pays close attention to how things move—from the suspension of a car, to how people walk as their clothes and bags overlap, to the flutter of leaves in the wind. This attention to detail and dedication to realism makes his animations truly stand out.

A morning person at heart, Saif values the power of short breaks throughout the day. Whether it's petting his diva queen cat, Chilli (apparently she meows with a scouse accent), or stepping outside for a breath of fresh air, these moments of relaxation help fuel his creativity and drive.

Saif has overcome challenges in the industry as a member of the BAME minority and is therefore even more proud of his portfolio and the brand he's built for himself. Which goes hand-in-hand with his favourite quote by Roald Dahl, "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Saif loves to indulge in his favourite cultural dish Nihari—a flavorful lamb stew slow-cooked with spices and served with hot naans.

Interstellar makes Saif's heart stop, by capturing his love for sci-fi with its captivating storyline and stunning visuals. And when it comes to gaming, DOOM 2 reigns supreme, evoking childhood memories despite giving him a few nightmares along the way. But as Saif likes to say: “Life is too short to worry about the small things, so go out and enjoy the world!”
