My entry shows how the main character a Teen can reach out for help and what to look out for in someone. Showing signs of concern and needing the help it demonstrates the hashtag as well of #BeThe1ToReachOut. This submission shows growth of style and experimentation as well. All scenes and transitions meant to captivate the viewer and look deeply into this teenager who is visually distraught. They have thoughts of harm, the character looking away to represent distancing themselves and a cassette tape as a precious object they would give away. or even a small face that changes very quickly. These are all representations of what you should look out for in someone who is showing signs of harm. Overall, this animation submission is to make others aware that even as a friend, or even a bystander you can reach out and help.
