About me

Hi there.

I've been working in animation and motion graphics for over 10 years.

You can see my reel and portfolio at sebhartzell.com

I'm a 2D based animator and illustrative designer. I have an all round motion design knowledge and a lot of experience in 2D character rigging and cel animation, which is a passion of mine. I also have a good knowledge of 3D modeling, which adds to the scope of my work.

As a freelancer I've worked for a variety of studios, ad agencies and production comapnies. This work includes online campaigns, social ads, TVCs, explainers and DOOH. In this time I've tackled a multitude of briefs and worked in many different environments. I've worked on projects for end clients such as Starbucks, the NHS, Unilever, FIFA, Guide Dogs and Boehringer Ingelheim to name a few.

Before jumping into the freelance world I was part of a team of 4 animators and designers at Screencult, a video production company. I acted as lead animator, delegating tasks and providing on-the-job training where appropriate.
