ABOUT
HAND MACHINE
Hand Machine is a boutique creative studio based in Montreal, working at the intersection of AI, animation and visual effects.
We create distinctive cinematic imagery by blending handcrafted techniques with emerging technologies.
What We Do
Hand Machine combines strong artistic direction, hybrid production techniques and emerging technologies to craft visually striking work.
Each project is approached as an opportunity to develop a clear visual vision rather than simply execute a brief.
Working across advertising, film and television, the studio collaborates with agencies, production companies and brands.
The Founder
Founded by Julien Demers-Arsenault, director and creative director, Hand Machine draws on two decades of cross-disciplinary practice across traditional production, animation and VFX.
His work spans a wide range of techniques, from traditional frame-by-frame animation to digital image creation, combining an artisanal sensibility with a technical approach.
