Provided are systems and methods for animating a single image of a human body and applying effects. An example method includes providing a database of motions; receiving an input image including a body of a person; receiving a user input including a motion selected from the database of motions; segmenting the input image into a body portion and a background portion; fitting the body portion to a hair model; generating, based on the body portion and the selected motion, a video featuring the body of the person repeating the selected motion; where generating the video includes detecting positions of key points associated with a head of the person in a frame of the video, generating an image of hair of the person based on the positions of the key points and the hair model, and inserting the image of the hair in the frame; and displaying the generated video.
