Hello!

My name is Eli, I'm a Portland based animator and storyboard artist. I'm currently working towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. During that time I've worked on three short films.

The first was my first short film "Casual Conversation" (2021-2022) 2d Animated Short Film about the struggles of approaching someone with social anxiety. Animated digitally but drawn and composited in a style to simulate analogue film. The film was written, storyboarded, animated, and did composite work by myself. Screened at the PNCA Media Tech in Portland, OR

My second film was a collaborative effort entitled "Wizard Frogs" (2022), which was a 2d Animated Fantasy Short Film about a team of Wizard Frogs battling a trash monster that is a metaphor for pollution. For this project I was a Production Supervisor with the creator of the Film. As well as Compositing scenes, Editing both the animatic and final film, Designing and Drawing Background, as well as Animation.

My last and as of now most recent project, was my Senior Thesis project "The Other Me" (2023-2024). Which was a 2 minute preview of a larger 2d animated short film about a Scientist who becomes obsessed with the idea of creating a "Perfect Clone" of themselves. Similarly to Casual Conversation the film was written, storyboarded, animated, and composited by myself with guidence from my mentor Yer Za Vue.
