This was a personal project to promote my postcards and help people create their own cows. As the cow has become the unofficial mascot of my postcards, I chose to use it to create the animation. I chose to make a stop frame animation of my cow making it’s self so it will be clear to anyone making one how it’s done, while being more interesting than a basic tutorial movie.

The illustrations below are examples of some of the elements created for the animation, as well as some of the ‘test’ movies created in after effects.
