Educational animations to reduce disease spread

Sandbox partnered with the University of Vermont (UVM) to address a critical gap in accessible educational materials for emergency animal disease response. The project focused on translating complex Foreign Animal Disease (FAD) preparedness strategies—such as movement control, depopulation, and vaccination—into clear, engaging visual narratives. Sandbox developed 12 animated videos, each 3–4 minutes long, designed for livestock farmers, veterinarians, and industry professionals. Through thoughtful scripting and visual simplification, the animations break down high-stakes “what-if” scenarios, helping viewers understand how disease outbreaks can unfold and how response decisions impact agricultural systems.
