Animated short film about aircraft invention | The Balgonie Bidman - by Brian Duchscherer

This film tells the story of the efforts of the first Canadian to attempt to fly a human powered heavier than air aircraft, as told by an annoying hanger-on who insisted on being his assistant.

A small prairie town has few secrets but in Balgonie, Saskatchewan, Bill Gibson had one. Each night, when most folks were home asleep, Bill was busy in his workshop. You see, Bill had a dream. He was building a flying machine. This short puppet animation tells his story.

Bill shoulda read the newspapers and saved himself a lot of grief. I guess Canadians are a bit isolated from the rest of the world up there.
