This is the animation I made for UF's Annual Giving department for their Artificial Intelligence awareness campaign.
The Annual Giving department at UF launched a campaign to raise awareness and support for UF becoming the first "AI University," with an entire major and section of faculty dedicated to education surrounding the use and ethics of Artificial Intelligence. Annual Giving decided to promote a pair of socks that were AI-themed, as a fun way to open conversation about a complicated topic.
As part of the AI Socks project, I was asked to create a gif for social media. I decided to make an animation in After Effects of the four robot characters featured on the socks. Aibert Gaitor is the AI robot version of Albert Gator, UF's mascot. Batty is the AI robot version of the UF bat houses, where students gather at sunset to watch the bats leave home for the night. Belle is the AI robot version of Century Tower, the well-known clock tower in the center of the University of Florida campus, and Benny is the AI robot version of Ben Hill Griffin football stadium.
