I worked on a 30 second animation to be played during a Cradle of Coaches themed football game to show audience members how to use an interactive NFC patch. I specifically worked on the intro and outro.

Miami University was nicknamed “The Cradle of Coaches” because of its
history of producing successful coaches, especially in football.

Process

Cradle of Coaches NFC patch and packaging

For this project, I started with a template from an animation created by Rachel Kraimer, which was made for a football game last year that spotlighted Miami’s Western College.

I was asked to use her animation as a base and update the colors,
content, and graphics for the Cradle of Coaches. Along with making
these adjustments, I also created a completely new intro and outro.

Animating the intro: first, second, and third iteration
  1. Block out main elements and timing
  2. Smooth transitions and play with text animation
  3. Stagger animate-in by letter, polish transitions and timing
