Sébastien 'KINDER' MULLER
Hello

I am Sébastien MULLER

Senior 3D Animator

Based in Montpellier (France), I first studied 3D animation for Games and VFX at Think Tank Training Centre in Vancouver where I obtained my Animation certificate. I also did an “Advanced Acting Animation Mentoring” with CG Spectrum mentored by the Senior Animator Mark Pullyblank.
Since then I accumulated experience in commercial while working at Dwarf-Labs and also in Gameplay animation like in Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper (DLC) at Ubisoft Montpellier. I'm still in this studio now specialized in Cinematics animation for AAA games like Ghost Recon Wildlands, For Honor or Assassin's Creed Origins. I'm currently working on Assassin's Creed Odyssey, still on the cut-scenes.
Outside academia, I enjoy exploring the art of photography and website design/coding or doing some motion design.

What I'm known for ...

Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Assassin's Creed Origins
For Honor
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Avengers Academy
Assassin's Creed - Jack The Ripper

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate - Jack the Ripper Animation Reel

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate - Jack the Ripper Animation Reel

Description:

Compilation of my work done at Ubisoft Montpellier as a 3D Animator for the AAA game Assassin's Creed Syndicate - Jack the Ripper DLC.
I primarily focused on the "Spike" feature for Jack the Ripper and Evie Frye animating the action from different orientation (N, S, E and W) and different pace (Walk or Run).
For the "Spike" feature, I was also in charge of the NPCs animations when they are spiked and having hallucinations (Evie) or being agonising (Jack).
I also animated some "Fear" behaviors of the NPCs when Jack is doing a "Death Scream" or when they see someone being spiked.
All animations are a mix of Motion Capture and keyframe.

Music: Bear McCreary - "Jack the Ripper" from "Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper (Original Game Soundtrack)"

Recommendations

  • My professional relationship with Sebastien stems from his employment at Neko Productions as a freelance Character Animator, where I was his Animation Supervisor on the MARVEL game Avengers Academy.

    Sebastien is a very talented artist with a passion for his work and extreme dedication to his craft. Whatever the complexity of the animation, he makes a point of delivering his work on time and meeting the production deadlines.

    Sebastien is someone you can trust and will always be a trouper and make the process a success!

  • I was his mentor during his studies at Think Tank Training Centre and then he was my employee for a year at Imperia Media.

    Sebastien is a passionate and hard-working animator who quickly understands what he’s been taught and is always looking for improvement and perfectionism. Sebastien's deep understanding of Animation principles and his technical and programming skills helped him to improve his
    capability of troubleshooting any working issue. His enthusiasm and great sense of pedagogy allowed him to support and inspire his classmates in order for them to achieve their projects.

    As a freelance character animator when he worked for Imperia Media, Sebastien produced both a large quantity and high quality volume of animation for video games. His ability to meet rigorous standards and demanding schedules make him a reliable animator.
