About Sebastien

Animation Supervisor and Senior 3D Animator with over 15 years of experience in video games, real-time cinematics, advertising, and CGI productions, I support studios in creating high-quality animations and implementing efficient production pipelines.

I spent over 8 years at Ubisoft Montpellier within the In-Game Cinematics department on major franchises such as Assassin's Creed, For Honor, Rider's Republic, and Prince of Persia. More recently, at Cross The Ages, I supervised a team of animators while defining and deploying the Gameplay animation pipeline, from rigging in Autodesk Maya to integration and export to Unreal Engine 5.

My expertise covers keyframe animation, motion capture, facial animation (FACS), cinematics, staging, performance art direction, and production workflow optimization.

Beyond production, I also work on organizational and supervision issues: team structuring, artist support, defining best practices, process improvement, and coordination between different trades (animation, game design, rigging, technical art, development, and direction).

I particularly appreciate collaborative environments where communication, creativity, and rigor are essential to deliver ambitious projects on time.

I am available for freelance missions as an Animation Supervisor, Senior 3D Animator, or animation pipeline consultant for video game, cinematic, animated film, VFX, CGI, and real-time experience projects on Unreal Engine 5.

Key skills: Autodesk Maya, Unreal Engine 5, Motion Capture, Keyframe Animation, Facial Animation (FACS), Cinematics, Gameplay Animation, Animation Pipeline, Leadership, Team Management, Production Workflow, and Animation Supervision.
