Biography

Eric Lerner signed to Partizan in December 2006 on the strength of his brilliant graduation project, Mr CityMen, a collection of five shorts. A lifelong fan of illustration and drawing, Eric studied at Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, taking up design, animation and motion graphics. “My biggest interests were in character story and design, but I find all aspects of art and creativity attractive, be it illustration, photography, film or graphic and motion design,” says Eric.
His graduation project, ‘Mr CityMen’ is a collection of five short films depicting a day in the life of five 3D characters in a live action urban setting, including desk slave Mr Déjà vu, laid back Mr Fortune, and the imaginative Mr Dreamer.
The films were featured in many influential web blogs and magazines around the world including thecoolhunter.com and Motionographer. Thecoolhunter.net said “Coupled with an avant garde soundtrack, these animations work on a variety of levels and evoke various responses from the viewer. In a sense, it's like a therapy session, only animated. The players… are very simply constructed and radiate a slick design as they move across the screen. Cute, clever, clean.”
