Well, this was one project off the bucket list. I was super lucky for the amazing team at Daily Planet Productions to bring me in for this project and had an absolute blast creating the supporting animations for the Chicago Blackhawks' new orchard video highlighting the history of the franchise on the United Center new scoreboard that has 8,600 square feet of LED displays. Designing and animating for such a monstrous canvas was a challenge, but seeing it up on those screens above the ice was more than worth it. Unfortunately, the season was cut short, due to the pandemic, so it was only shown for a fraction of the season, but hopefully this will be playing again in the U.C. and for many years to come.
