Part of the international project Bestiary, this episode was created in collaboration with animator Julia Jesionek. Based on a pre-produced audio track, the entire animation was developed together – from character design to final visuals – using digital frame-by-frame animation. The result is a trashy horror-comedy about a young girl whose phone unexpectedly transforms into an evil AI centipede.
Bestiary features short episodes by over 50 students from seven countries and was developed through a cross-university collaboration, including the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM).
