Vancouver Film School's Patrick Biason's "A Gentlemen's Duel"

Created by Vancouver Film School student Patrick Biason, A Gentlemen’s Duel is basically Japanese mech battle anime filtered through a steampunk lens. Great animation, and who doesn’t enjoy one giant robot trading fisticuffs with another giant robot? No one, that’s who.

Lifting the curtain to Patrick Boivin's magic

A couple weeks back we posted that AT-AT Day Afternoon video which we thought was the bee’s knees. Well here’s a short “Making Of” video showing how it was done…needless to say, very clever…tip of the hat to creator Patrick Boivin…

What would toy ninjas do with modern technology?

Every once in awhile a video pops up that just does everything right in my world, and such is the Ninjas Unboxing a Nexus One video by Patrick Boivin. Using ninjas, stop-action animation, miniature figures and some nice graphic design elements, this is pretty much all you need to make your day brighter. I love […]
