Big Slick is an annual celebrity charity event benefiting Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. I've been creating animation and video content for (as well as concepting and co-directing) the live celebrity event/auction since 2014. As you can see above, we're consistently raising millions of dollars every year for children's cancer research.
This is basically my ideal project, and I feel profoundly lucky to be involved.
It's super fun to do, and makes an amazing positive impact.

I had the opportunity to show off some of my workflows for this event on Adobe's Video Community Meetup in late 2021:
