Friday Funday for Virginia Lottery was designed and created during the pandemic to attract new players, uplift viewers and promote awareness of the various instant win games offered. Hosted on Facebook Live every first Friday of the month, the hosts discussed Virginia lottery scratchers, answered viewer questions and played interactive games.









I crafted the animations using a blend of Illustrator and After Effects. Starting with sketches, I designed characters and environments, infusing them with personality and style. With After Effects, I broke down scenes into layers, animating them individually to create depth and movement. Whether it was a lush jungle or a bustling cityscape, each animation was custom-tailored to match the theme of the game, ensuring a cohesive visual experience.
These animations were then showcased live on Facebook during Virginia Lottery events, serving as dynamic backdrops to the hosts' presentations. As the hosts introduced each game, the animations added an extra layer of excitement and engagement, captivating the audience and enhancing the overall viewing experience. It was a rewarding process to see my creations come to life and play a key role in the live broadcasts.
Below is a collection of some of my favorite animated games in categories ranging from shuffles, counting or trivia as well as some honorable mentions that I have created.
