dorm - a horror short

DORM is a 2D animated short film I created during my last year at DePaul University as part of my Senior Capstone. The entirety of the piece was written, storyboarded, directed, and animated by me over the course of about seven months with no budget or grants. I was also responsible for character design, background art, and effects animation. When creating this film, I wanted to approach horror from a perspective of relatability and lingering fear.
