This channel is all about animation and video by Elijah Wells.  Elijah is a Kainai artist living in Calgary and has been exploring the art form of animation for three years now.  He made is feature debut with his animation Napi Dancing throught the Aboriginal Youth Animation Project.  He has also made an animation for the 2009 Canada day celebrations in Calgary.  So far all of Elijah's animations are focused on dance.  In Napi Dancing, hip hop, powwow and interpretive dance is animated through rotoscoping to create a colorful new dimension in which Old Man Napi dances to modern Aboriginal creations.
