College Pressure in Polk

Final Portfolio

Katie Miner

The problem that I faced was that there was no clear representation of the stress that school puts students through in order to choose and apply for college. This animation was intended to help illustrate that said stress.

    As inspiration I looked towards well known animators like Walt Disney and the experiences of my classmates as a storyline. As a whole, this animation went through the typical process of rough draft, to storyboard, to animation, like any animation. But, the animation itself takes place in All Saints Academy, a real place, but some aspects that happen to the fictional characters are entirely fantasy-oriented.

    The importance of this animation is to show and explain just how being pressured into picking a college that you don’t want to go to can chip away at your sanity, and that it’s ok to need help.
