Patrick Doyon is a Canadian animator and illustrator, based in Montreal, Quebec.
[1] On January 24, 2012, he was nominated for an Academy Award for the animated short film Sunday (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] He has a degree in graphic design from the Université du Québec à Montréal.
