HILDA

Last year I got the honor to be part of the pre-production team on Hilda in the storyboard department. It was an amazing project to be part of and I’m really proud of how it turned out! Congratulations to everyone that was involved in the making of this masterpiece!

BTW - I’ve been posting way more stuff on my INSTAGRAM as of late so if you want to keep following my progress, keep an eye out here.

Hey dudes and dudettes,

I’ve officially started my instagram page!  Get ready for a whole bunch of video shenanigans:  https://www.instagram.com/mathieuhains/

Watch the video with the audio, it synced up perfectly :D

Random sketches from the Pickle & Peanut pilot.  This show is perfectly weird!

Pushing a simple scene to make it tighter and clearer.  Silhouettes were pushed & expression exaggerated.

It’s been hella hot in Ottawa this Summer.  Don’t forget to put sunscreen on your cupcake buns!

I love The Last Man on Earth! It's my favorite comedy right now. I want to do a movie poster design for the show and am trying to figure out the character design style. I've been playing around with different shapes and colors, keeping in the cartoony/graphic realm. Wacha think? I'm leaning towards no4 and 9.

A few random work sticky note drawings.  I really like the Nay-guy (wow, this is from April 2014, I love seeing my drawings for way back when!)

Here’s a drawing of me as a troll in Hilda.  I was a storyboard revisionist on it and eventually a Lead Animator and Animation Retake artist.

Super Smash Bros Melee Reanimate Project!

A bunch of talented animators from Ottawa got together to reanimate the intro of Super Smash Bros Melee.  I’m really proud to have been part of it!  It was great to create a scene in it’s entirety, from: design, colors, animation, effects and compositing!

Character research for a project I’m developing.

A sequence that I animated and storyboarded was posted on Hilda’s instagram!  It’s awesome seeing it come together!
