An animation I worked on over break — it took a while, but with a ton of helpful feedback from an online animation community, I was able to level up and polish it into something I'm really proud of!
Raphael Elardo
BFA Animation
I was born with a facial cleft and spent much of my early life in and out of hospitals,
which taught me resilience, adaptability, and a deep appreciation for growth through
challenge. Originally from the Philippines, I moved to the U.S. and built a portfolio
from the ground up that earned me admission into art school, where I’ve specialized
in 3D character animation using tools like Maya and Blender. My personal and academic
background has shaped me into a passionate, resourceful artist.
