Lucky Penny
Hornet's 2D team presents Lucky Penny: a graphic joyride disguised as an everyday moment.
Inspired by people who see themselves a little larger than life, the film explores a reality shaped by self-perception—where even finding a penny becomes a cinematic event.
Blending bold character design, fluid hand-drawn animation, and a balance of graphic simplicity and tactile detail, the project explores how perception can transform the ordinary into spectacle. Even the penny reflects that approach: built in 3D for its metallic light play, but designed to move and read like a graphic 2D object.
A celebration of what drew us to 2D filmmaking in the first place, Lucky Penny bends reality, pushes design, and transforms the everyday through feeling.
