Basti Irmer

Motion Designer | 3D Generalist | Project Manager

About Me

After studying Media Informatics I moved to Berlin in 2016 and worked for creative agencies as an employee or freelancer and built up the video production of a successful tech start-up. International clients and big projects let me gain the experience to be a Jack of all trades when it comes to video production. Enabling new creative solutions with advancing technology motivates me everyday to learn new ways of creating.

Motion Designer

Seeing things move in a satisfying way, bringing elements to live and transporting a message is a big part of my work and what I love the most about my job. Adding value to a video or creating new content from scratch - I always try to enhance every project I work on.

Project Manager

As a project manager in video projects, I excel in overseeing the entire production process from concept to delivery. My organizational skills and attention to detail ensure that projects stay on schedule and within budget. I am adept at coordinating cross-functional teams, managing client expectations, and troubleshooting any issues that arise. My ability to balance creative vision with logistical requirements has consistently led to the successful execution of high-quality video content.

3D Generalist

Today's 3D software grants me the freedom to create and new technology unlocks new possibilities all the time. I have skills in modeling, shading, animating & simulating in the 3D space & I constantly learn more.

Testimonials

"I've had the pleasure and privilege to work with Sebastian, who is a passionate, talented, and creative motion designer with a great eye for detail. At Ultimate, he played a key part in elevating and bringing our brand to life - through project managing and creatively leading the motion design for brand and thought leadership campaigns to product videos. Sebastian is not only an amazing motion designer, but also a great and caring colleague. Any team would be lucky to have him."

Jacob Rungholm, Senior Creative Director

"Sebastian (known fondly as Basti to us over at Ultimate!) is a talented and creative Motion Designer I had the privilege of working with for 2.5 years. An enthusiastic team player and dedicated member of the marketing team, he was adept at leading video, production and many other motion-related projects with both skill and care. During his time at Ultimate, he helped transform and elevate our visual brand - through successfully project managing initiatives from our Product Overview video to various influencer-led video series. He is incredibly good at making people feel at ease in front of a camera, teaching video editing skills to junior employees, designing processes to streamline brand projects, and - most of all - working with fellow creatives to being motion projects to life in fresh and visually engaging ways. Any team would be lucky to have Basti bring his characteristic warmth and creativity to the table."
