Hello! I’m Mollie McElvain, a storyboard artist living in Los Angeles with my rabbits, Parmesan & Gorgonzola, and a box set of Marx Brothers movies.

I’ve had the pleasure of writing and boarding shorts for the hilarious Jellystone! and the action-packed Batwheels at Warner Bros. Animation, as well as doing story revisions for both shows. I gained more experience with action boards working on Netflix’s Sonic Prime at WildBrain Studios. 2023 has seen me continue to develop my comedy chops by working as a revisionist on the latest season of Jellystone! at Warner Bros. Animation.

Prior to boarding, I worked as a CG previsualization artist, doing the first pass at translating storyboards into 3D animation. My experience in this has given me unique insight into what creates the most helpful template possible for animators when boarding on CG shows. Projects I worked on include Warner Bros.’ Space Jam: A New Legacy, HBO’s upcoming Sesame Street film, Disney+’s Flora and Ulysses, and advertisements for the Oculus Quest.

In my down time I’ve been developing a webcartoon called Tode and Fraug, a story of two amphibian friends inspired by the Arnold Lobel books I loved as a child, combined with my current love for the comedy of Mitch Hedberg. When I'm not animating I crochet, play video games, and go to heavy metal concerts.
