Available to hire
I’m Louis Cloutier, a cinema graduate with hands-on experience across long and short films, advertising and TV productions. I also have experience in computer animation and 3D modeling, and I produce 3D work from home using my personal computer.
I’ve collaborated with Cirque du Soleil, Cavalia, La Fabrique d’images, Cinélande and other studios, and I run Visualise3D for photo, video and 360 content. I keep sharpening my skills with Houdini, Maya, ZBrush, Photoshop and other tools, and I love sharing my passion for computer graphics, photography, music, and travel.
