Cougarcon 2023: 2D Animation
A collaborative effort of the Animation Club 2023 officers to create an eye-catching loop animation to display during Cougarcon on August 22, 2023.
This animation was displayed on the University of Houston's Student Center South’s theatre-size screens in the Houston Room, looping throughout the event. The animation was a collaboration of myself (Jana Rowe), Denny Vu, and Ashton Serrano.
Storyboarding: Ashton Serrano and Jana Rowe
Animation: Jana Rowe (Clip Studio Paint EX) and Denny Vu (Adobe After Effects)
As the first finished collaborative product of the Animation Club’s efforts to be a resource and inspiration for other student-led organizations, we couldn’t be more proud of the outcome! We received great feedback from the event sponsors Coog eSports and Student Program Board, other student organizations, and from convention attendees.
Our Process
When initially planning to create two animations for Cougarcon2023 in May, we decided to create one animation to promote as marketing prior to the event on the Student Center South’s TV screens and the other animation as a graphic to loop during the convention.
The participating Animation Club officers collaborated to create a mood board to present to the event sponsors, regarding the project’s scope in length, color palette, imagery, motion stylization, and body copy.
