Bio
Lennart Breede
Patrick became the lead for the FX TD program at Lost Boys at a critical time. After a number of great temporary instructors, Patrick took over the program an re-designed the course. Patrick is incredibly knowledgeable in Houdini and CG in general. Combine that with his passion for the latest industry tools and vfx tech, we quickly had a rock solid pipeline and lectures that were relevant and up-to-date. You could tell that he felt responsible to every one of his students to be on top of any question and problem, days before those would occur. He's a humble, intelligent and hardworking team player, and overall great guy. Artist, lead, supervisor, educator - do yourself a favour and consider Patrick for those roles.

I had a wonderful experience working with Patrick at Pixomondo Vancouver. Patrick is not just a very good and skilled FX Supervisor and Technical Director but he is also a very nice person and friend, he made me feel very comfortable in Pixomondo while I was becoming FX Lead giving me lot of very useful tips and feedbacks. All the FX team was very happy to deal with Patrick. I would definitely love to reccomend him as FX Sup for any project.
