Introducing Patrick Boivin

Bio via wikipedia

Patrick Boivin (born 1975) is a film-maker from Montreal, Quebec, Canada best known for stop motion short films. In addition to directing, he is often involved in the lighting, editing, animation, special effects and even music in his films.

His short film Ça pis tout l’reste (That, and everything else) was chosen by Quebec Gold as one of the top 10 short films from Quebec in 2008. Boivin was one of the group of nine "autodidact" writers who produced an experimental television series "Phylactere Cola" for Canadian television that aired in 2002-2003. All were cartoonists who had met years earlier and produced over 400 sketches.^[1] His films have been featured at numerous international film festivals around the world, including the Montreal World Film Festival, the Commonwealth Film Festival (UK), and the Festival de Namur(Belgium).

Boivin started his creative career by drawing comic books, and, in his words, “quickly discovered that it was faster to tell a story with video." He cites Tom Waits, Roy Andersson, Federico Fellini, andPaul Thomas Anderson as influences on his style.

Many of his films have been viewed more than a million times on YouTube. He created the stop motion videos for the "King Of The Dogs" song from Iggy Pop and "Play boy" from Indochine.
