The Turtle-Tastic Bag

The Turtle-Tastic Bag helps people with anxiety by offering a safe place to calm down. You wear the back pack and if you have social anxiety or any type of anxiety, you can go into it just like a turtle hides in its shell. You can also store stuff in it. And, when you go inside there is a door that can open up and get something.

This was brought to life!

First impressions

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!

The images show a first look into the storyboard and a first version of a possible backpack.
