Three regulars at a dive bar called The Patriot. NutSack knows everything and gets all of it wrong. Squirrel never says a word and makes perfect sense. The bartender just wants to close up.
He's built from pieces exported straight out of my Toon Boom Harmony rig, so every joint you're moving is a real part of it. Go on, break him.
Feature classical animation through to TV puppet and cutout animation.
I'm Andre Beaulne, a senior animator, rigger and technical director based in Mississauga. I trained in classical animation at Sheridan College, worked on Disney features at Walt Disney Canada, animated and designed for over a decade at Nelvana, then spent ten years at Pipeline Studios leading the rigging department. There I built the Toon Boom Harmony rigs for the full runs of Sunny Day and Alma's Way, with a rigging team spread across Colombia and Brazil.
Today I focus on rigging and technical direction: the load-bearing work that keeps a production moving. I work in Harmony, Maya, Blender and Moho, and use AI-assisted tools like ComfyUI where they genuinely help. I'm open to freelance rigging, TD and animation work.
Freelance animation, rigging, storyboarding and compositing for studios including Yowza, Cookie Jar/DHX, Bento Box and Chuck Gammage Animation.
The little blue figure floating around this page is Rare Avatar. He started in a test file with no brief and no client, and grew into the guide at the centre of Middlespace, a seven-part series. This first installment looks at Alfred Korzybski's idea that the map is not the territory.
Currently in solo production. If you'd like to help get it made, with time, skills or support, I'd welcome it.
An original fantasy adventure in development. Jens's idea from the ground up: his story, designs and animation. Paul handled clean-up and colour. I did backgrounds, technical direction, editing, sound and storyboarding, plus some clean-up and animation.
Open to freelance rigging, technical direction and animation. Or just follow along as the tools and shorts come out.
