The Great Simplification

Background:
In 2022, I was approached by Nate Hagens from the Institute for the Study of Energy (ISEOF) to create a 5–10 minute animation to explain the complicated theories of the interrelationships between energy, environment, and finance and the implications this synthesis has for human futures. 

This then turned into a 5-month project with over 40 minutes of animation split across 4 different videos. While it may not be my strongest work, I believe it is a testament to seeing a project through to the end, especially when it has an altruistic cause. The above video is a 2-minute cutdown of some of my favorite scenes.
