Sébastien Guidou
Supervisor Character animation 3D · Illumination Studio Paris
There are animators who know how to do, and those who also know how to teach. Sébastien belongs to the second group, and that is exactly what you want in a mentor.
Over a long career in animation, he has worked on award-winning TV series such as Angelo Rules and La Minute du Chat, as well as major international feature films: Despicable Me 3, Sing 2, Ron’s Gone Wrong and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A complete career, from series to blockbusters, that gives him a broad, practical view of the craft. Today he also teaches animation at Gobelins, one of the most prestigious schools in the world.
Working with Sébastien means learning from someone whose actual job is to make animators progress. He combines field experience, earned on productions seen by millions, with teaching methods proven at the highest level. He passes on the sense of acting, the reading of weight and movement, and the rigor and perspective that take a student from amateur to professional.
