A bit about me ...

Seb Hartzell

Hi there...

I've been working in animation and motion graphics for over 12 years.

I'm an award-winning animator and motion designer. I have comprehensive skills in 2D, especially character and type animation. To complement this, I bring a strong command of 3D in Cinema 4D, which adds to the scope of my work. I’m accustomed to taking projects from concept development through to design, illustration and animation. I also enjoy working purely on motion.

Previously in my freelance career, I worked for a variety of studios, advertising agencies and production companies. This work included social ad campaigns, TVCs, explainers, pitches and DOOH. In this time, I 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, ebay, FIFA, Guide Dogs, Pandora and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

I now work at Omnicom Production where I have continued to grow and develop my skills in 2D and 3D across social campaigns, DOOH and TVCs for clients such as Esso, Lloyds, PlayStation, Amazon and Cupra.
