The Star
2D Animation Short Film (2020)
by Kateryna Tymofiienko
The film was done as a student project. Inspired by the story from Mary Poppins books. Created in TVPaintAnimation.
At first, I made the illustration to show the atmosphere, the character and the main idea of the film.
Then I created the Cow character. She is a perfect self-confident cow, she thinks that dancing is improper and she always behaves well. But then something happens to her and she suddenly starts dancing...
I recorded video references by myself to capture the character, her poses and facial expressions.

I decided that the most appealing style of dancing for my Cow was twerk and hip-hop:)
So I watched hundreds of dancing videos on Youtube, listened to thousands of hip-hop songs and created a perfect dance. I was also recording some dance references by myself. I thought that the udder should be definitely used as a dancing material as well:))
