"Fenced In" is a delightful tale of the meeting between a corgi pup and a group of moles who have found the dog's ball. Told from the point of view of both the color blind dog and the simply blind moles, the story takes an interesting turn when one of the moles tosses the dog's ball over the fence.

"The Valley of the Reversed Mountains" is a 2D animation created entirely in After Effects by senior Illustration major Ali Pordeli. Told in flashback form, the story centers around a young man and his guide on a quest to find the reversed mountain.
