Andre Beaulne — Senior Animator · Rigger · Technical Director
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
I'm an animator, rigger, and technical director with over a decade in film and TV animation — classically trained at Sheridan College and shaped by studios that built some of the most recognizable animated worlds of the last thirty years.
My focus today is Toon Boom Harmony rigging and technical direction: building the skeletons that let a character breathe, move, and hold up across a full season. I move fluidly between 2D and 3D — Maya, Blender, Moho, Unity — and I've spent the last two years folding AI workflows into that pipeline without losing the craft underneath it.
Outside production, R.A.R.E. Avatar is where the technical work meets the personal — the meditative, cosmic imagery you see here is my own design and animation.
A short look at character work and effects in motion — comp, color, and rigging in action. More self-driven shorts, process breakdowns, and the life drawing & film study behind them are coming to the channel.
From classical hand-drawn cleanup to leading a rigging department — the throughline is always the character.
Creativity finds its own recognition eventually.
Open to freelance rigging, technical direction, and animation collaborations.
