We created a stop-motion, paper-animated “day in the life” story for Olympic free skier Eileen Gu. This piece aired during primetime for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. The piece follows Eileen’s dynamic life, showing how she balances college, Olympic training, and modeling. We loved telling Eileen’s story through paper stop-motion and 2d animation. It was great to collaborate with NBC on this fun project.
