A bit about me ...

Seb Hartzell

Hi there...

I've been working in motion graphics and animation for over 15 years.

I'm an award-winning motion designer and animator. 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 bringing the designs of others to life.

In my freelance career, I have worked for a variety of studios, advertising agencies and production companies. This work includes social ad campaigns, TVCs, explainers, pitches and DOOH. In this time, I have tackled a multitude of briefs and worked in many different environments. I’ve worked on projects for end clients such as Eurostar, Halifax, PlayStation, the NHS, Unilever, ebay, FIFA, Guide Dogs, Pandora and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

I'm always looking to work on projects with the creative scope to challenge myself further.
