About
Ideas travel at light speed in this animated film designed for a 6:1 aspect ratio large-format screen — built for big. Produced in collaboration with Rupert for Slalom, a next-generation business and technology consulting firm, the piece was commissioned to kick off R4: a conference of hundreds of thought leaders, clients, and employees marking Slalom's first in-person event after over a year of remote work.
The film takes you on a fantastical journey of shared ideas, narrated by WNBA superstar Sue Bird, one of the event's keynote speakers.
