This is the animation I designed for UF's Annual Giving department for their summer subscription box.
Each year, the Annual Giving department at the University of Florida is responsible for starting several fundraising campaigns, maintaining alumni engagement, and keeping students and alumni aware of UF's goals in order to foster support. Shortly before I joined the team at UF Advancement, the Annual Giving department decided to launch a series of gift boxes, to which both students and alumni could subscribe. There would be a box for each season throughout the year, beginning with the 2022 fall school semester, and each would contain three or four small gifts. These boxes were intended to be care packages for students or nostalgic keepsakes for alumni, with custom packaging and fun, seasonal presents inside. This was the fourth and final subscription box, for the summer season, and it shipped to almost 4,200 subscribers by the end of the campaign.
As part of the summer "mystery" box project, I decided to create an animation using After Effects and make a Scooby Doo-like cartoon. I used the same art from the the box's package design, animating Alberta as Velma and Albert as Fred. They are being chased by the Spirit from the Swamp, a ghost that haunts the University of Florida campus.
