About

I am Eric Bent, a Montreal-based animator, editor and filmmaker with over a decade of experience in animation, post-production, and live-performance media. I specialize in Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and sound design, and I’ve worked on promotional videos, short films, and live events for both in-house and contract projects.

I enjoy collaborating across genres—from animation and VFX to theatre and education outreach—and I bring a hands-on, problem-solving approach to every project. My work spans project direction, editing, composition, and visual design, always aiming to tell clear, engaging stories.
