Patrick Boivin: Animator for the Official LEGO "Cars 2 Trailer"

This video was produced by http://www.canadiananimation.com

Patrick is one of Canada's best known viral video stop-motion animators. One of his first animations to spark interest was "Bumblebee Beats Optimus Prime". Since creating that now iconic animation he has gone on create several more animations that have become instant viral video hits such as "Black Widow Gone Wild", "Iron Man vs Bruce Lee" and now the "Official Cars 2 trailer in LEGO", which is poised to become another hit.

Patrick took time out of his busy schedule to give a presentation on his work at the 2nd annual Montreal Stop Motion Film Festival. We caught up with him shortly after his presentation and this video is the first in a set of three that we shot with Patrick after his presentation.

[CanadianAnimation]

@kungfoolai - Thanks dude! Every once in a while super heroes come out to talk to the mortals among us - luckily I caught this stop-mo super hero on film :)

Excellent video! If you watch my stop motion video, you will no doubt see that I learned every single thing from watching his "making of" videos! Very cool to watch an interview of him for the first time :)

[CanadianAnimation]

@yozzup - Totally dude, I love your "Back from the Dead" stop motion animation :)

This man is a genius.

@morphender his camera is top. you dont need a top camera to do it. hes saying there's technology out there you can use for cheap. get a cheap camera and it can do the same thing. the tools and technology is just an extension of the artist.

Reminds me of a Canadian Christopher Walken

My StopMotions suck. You can look at them if you want to though. On my channel in the StopMotion playlist. The only technology i made them with was a 60 quid digital camera and windows movie maker.

@Devin1pm hate it maybe

[morphender]

Patrick, I'm sorry but the tecnology is really expensive for a lot of people. Your camera, here (Spain) costs like 2500-3000€. My dad earns 1100€/month and my partial job gives me 650€/month. That's 3 months of my mom or half a year with my payment (without eating). I love your videos., specially the Iron Baby, and the fight between Optimus and Bumblebee. Well done, I hope you get to the very top of animators.
