Patrick Boivin only wanted two things as a child: a dog and an 'AT-AT' (for non-Star Wars fans, that's a robotic animal-like thing featured in the movies). So, as a grown man Boivin created the 'AT-AT Day Afternoon' video, which features his very own AT-AT creation.
The video itself is pretty funny, showing the AT-AT doing very dog-like things (like peeing on a hydrant and running around a park to play with other dogs). The 'AT-AT Day Afternoon' video is Patrick Boivin's dream realized, showing that childhood dreams can still come true.
