THE COWBOY
As part of my final project of Animation Academy, I created a dancing cowboy with a hint of French style.
Inspo
I saw the documentary of Junun shot by Paul Thomas Anderson.
​
Johnny Greenwood became the main character for this magnificent documentary shot in India. I mention this specifically because the song that I chose to narrate the story of my Cowboy fitted perfectly within a western stage, although its roots come far from any desert.
Why a Cowboy?
The song Johnny and the indian musicians created made me imagine a duel. The trumpets really make this song suitable for a cowboy, and that was my sign to choose this song for the soundtrack.
The Know How
The character came first after a doodle I made on my sketchbook; then came the storyline.
Character Modeling, Skinning and Rigging where the main challenge of this animation.
