Project info

Studio Meala was approached to help create an Animated Special for the Emmy nominated show ‘Pen15’ alongside Starburns Industries for AwesomenessTV and Hulu. The concept and style of this one-off episode really intrigued us and we had a lot of fun pushing the creative boundaries not possible in its Live-Action episodes while posing, animating and compositing.

Synopsis

Pen15 is a ‘Traumedy’ show created for Hulu telling the story of middle school through the eyes of Anna and Maya; two 7th grade girls dealing with the awkwardness of being a teenager in the year 2000. In the animated special ‘Jacuzzi’ while on vacation in Florida, the girls are introduced to a brand new set of insecurities. While they try to ignore them, a mystical turn makes their self-doubt impossible to forget.
