Dimanche
Dimanche
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. 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. Dimanche is his first professional film.
