Porter Young
I’m a professional stop-motion animator based in Portland, Oregon, with nearly a decade of experience collaborating with studios including LAIKA, Aardman, ShadowMachine, and Netflix. Specializing in feature film, I bring a deep understanding of character performance, with a focus on subtle, emotionally driven animation. I am now offering stop motion animation mentorships. I’m excited to pass on my knowledge to the next generation of stop motion talent and would love to help you achieve your goals.
Every mentorship is tailored to your goals, so the first step is to send me an email. Tell me about yourself, your experience with stop motion, and what you’d like to achieve. We’ll discuss the best mentorship option for you, review rates, and then schedule your session through my Calendly.

“I can’t recommend Porter’s mentorship enough! He helped me take my walk cycle’s up a notch in a profound way!” –Kyle Nelson
“I signed up for Porter’s walk cycle mentorship. It was very helpful for me to understand how characters walk and Porter showed me some industry practices. Not only did I learn how to animate walks each week, but I also gained inspiration and momentum to keep animating. If I didn’t take his sessions I wouldn’t have kept animating each week due to my busy schedule. His live demo’s of him animating inspired me to animate more!” –Mee Huh
