Cowterspace is my first animated short. The story is about a cow that wants to break out of its boring and depressing every-day-life and dreams of reaching the stars.

 

The film was made with the open source program Blender.
For the storyboard or character design, you can visit my older entries.

Pictures of the development progress

These are some single renders and screenshots of some of the models I made. One of them is basically just a little glitch, which I found very interesting.

Stills

Some screen captures of the film.

Action sheet

This helped me a lot to keep things organized (german).

Animatic

The animatic was very important to get a feeling for timing, camera perspectives and general animation flow. I had to create five versions until I finally felt confident enough to begin working on the real thing.
