Patrick Doyon
Patrick Doyon is a Quebec animator and illustrator, based in Montreal.[1]
Dimanche
On January 24, 2012, he was nominated for an Academy Award for the animated short film Dimanche, which was inspired by his experiences growing up in Desbiens, Quebec.[1] Still learning how to use computer animation tools, he worked with pen and pencil to create Dimanche, hand drawing the entire film. While 10-minute film took him two years to complete, working in this manner, Doyon believes such traditional animation techniques are better for portraying emotion.[2] Dimanche is his first professional film.[3]
Earlier films
Doyon had previously created a three-minute animated short Square Roots in 2006, while enrolled in the NFB's Hothouse program for young animators,[2][1] as well as a 2002 experimental short, 32:11, which was screened at Animafest Zagreb and the Ottawa International Animation Festival.[4]
Illustration and graphic design
In addition to his film work, Doyon is a book and magazine illustrator who has received the 2008 Applied Arts Magazine Illustration Award and a LUX award in 2009 for his editorial illustrations.[2] He has a degree in graphic design from the Université du Québec à Montréal.[4]
