About Me
My name is Eli Michael Copperman, character animator & filmmaker. I specialize in emotional storytelling, through the fundamentals of sincerity and empathy.

I received a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art as well as an Associates from the Delaware College of Art & Design. I have professional experience in freelance and personal projects. My knowledge as a working artist has grown through the principles of animation & filmmaking first and foremost.
