- Merge (2019) -

WOW was this art style extraordinary and unusual. My friend, Tamarind King, was finishing up her thesis animation about a girl learning to overcome her fears of driving. The scene I worked on was when she started hallucinating hence all the wacky items and bold colors. The actual film itself is wonderful, the animations are very lively and keeps you hooked to the end.
