Fountain
of Gold
Thank you for visiting my site! My name is Eliud Gabriel Porras (don't even bother trying to figure out how to pronounce "Eliud", Eh-looeed...?, Eh-lood...?, Eh-lee-ood? Eh...?!? --life's too short. Just call me Gabriel, please).
I am a professional producer, presenter and journalist. The BBC hired me in Mexico and brought me to London twenty years ago, to work on its justly acclaimed World Service. This was a very rewarding and valuable experience, but I managed to extricate myself more than ten years ago, and I've never looked back. Over the last two decades in London I have accumulated a number of world-class credits, and I will present you with some of them here. Next time you need someone to inject real style and passion to your commercial, video, documentary, animation or big-bucks Hollywood production, you know where to find me--as Humphrey Bogart loosely said in Casablanca: "Of all the damn websites in the world, you had to land on this one!"
Here is a recent animation in collaboration with Common Craft --fasten your seat belt!
Let's Google (in Spanish is more fun!)
Want some Mojo? You've come to the right place! Do you REALLY want to learn how to get Muchas Maracas in your life (or Mucha Vida into your Maracas? Mmm...)
The first round's on me... with Ron Zacapa
This is a mad and zany project for a Doritos commercial in English:
And this is an acclaimed commercial for Johnnie Walker, for which I did the Spanish version:
Feeling lucky? Try dancing the tango with Boris Becker!!!
And how about the most successful sports show on earth, which I've presented for over fifteen years--we do more nations than the United Nations!
And more high octane sport--fasten your seat belts!
This is a rather melodramatic ad--think Hammer House of Horror--for a website where you learn the very useful art of telling when someone has had too much to drink, and is about to become a nuisance:
But I don't want to bore you with more right now--step directly into the "What did you say your name was?" section, and we'll keep chatting...
