Well everyone I have now just finished my second year in Uni and here`s my last animation project of the term.
In this animation a humanised diesel express train has an alarming encounter with a mystery steam train one night, which strangely vanishes when the diesel attempts to stop itself. The diesel is confused until it rounds a corner and sees that part of the track ahead of it has been damaged and washed away by a landslide. The diesel panics and just narrowly manages to stop itself from plunging over the cliff.
We then discover that 70 years ago in that same spot, a steam freight train had an accident by plunging to its death after it failed to notice the huge breach in the track in time. As a result the ghost of that steam engine still haunts that section of track to warn and prevent any other trains from having the same fate (which turns out to be what the express diesel train saw at the beginning).
I did this project because Trains have been one of my favourite hobbies since I was a child and I`m happy to have done the project. Although I didn`t manage to finish all the animation on time I still feel quite pleased with it and I hope you`ll all enjoy it too.
I had my assessment today and I passed really well, I haven`t had the grade yet though but I`ll let you all know when I get it.
NOTE: I know there isn`t any smoke coming from the steam engine, I ran out of time before I could add the smoke in.
UPDATE: I cannot believe it! This video of mine has had over 800 views in just 2 months, well thank you ALL!!!
Also before I forget, I got a grade B for the video. I feel really proud to have had this grade after all the hard effort I put into this animation.
