Merimna is a 5 minute hand drawn animated short centered around young college student, Vanessa, who tries to prepare for a party while dealing with an infestation of bugs representative of her anxiety and stress. This project was a part of my final thesis project at Penn State. Below you will find my process which includes concept art, character designs, and an animatic. This project is very close to my heart as it is one my first larger projects where I collaborated with others on this film for storyboarding, voice overs, and music.
