We’ve made incredible progress since that first look at the storyboard! Harper's Turtle-Tastic Bag is beautifully coming to life through our blend of 2D and 3D animation. The characters are mostly finished, and many of the main scenes are already done. Sound design and a few final sequences are still missing, but we are perfectly on track. Seeing this invention provide a literal "shell" of comfort in motion makes me even more certain of the profound impact this story will have on those navigating anxiety. This project is so close to the finish line, and I’m more inspired than ever to show a new generation of empathetic inventors how we can design a world where everyone feels safe.

The images show a sneak peek at the finalized characters.

I will bring Harper's incredible Turtle-Tastic Bag to life through a blend of 2D and 3D animation. By visualizing how this invention provides a literal "shell" of comfort, I aim to showcase the profound impact it can have on those navigating anxiety through a story. This project isn't just about a backpack, it’s about inspiring a new generation of empathetic inventors to design a world where everyone feels safe. Talking to Harper was inspiring and I am so stoked to be able to make her wonderful idea become reality!
