Battle for Azeroth: ‘Safe Haven’ Cinematic — Lead Environment Artist

Who doesn’t love a great in game cinematic? Game cinematics are always a great way to insert story and immersion into a game. One of the people behind some of the greats out there is Aaron Hamman. He has the skills necessary to create some of the amazing pieces found in the cinematics while having the vision needed to help guide them as Lead Environment Artist or Principal Environment Artist. There are scenes with his name all over it in World of Warcraft and Riot Games, both of the huge standouts for creating some of the most visually stunning cinematics verging on short films.

He has been working in the industry since around 2017, moving from TV to Games in a fast climb through the ranks in a way that speaks to someone with a goal in mind as well as the drive and skills to reach it.

We do not get to see a lot of his personal work but he has some significant pieces from years back in his portfolio. Aaron also shows off his process and some of his individual attributions in the larger works he shows off so make sure to check out the rest of his portfolio to see more!
