City Trams - Sneak Peek

[titanicfan29]

this kicks ass!!!

[kaza12345678]

what ep is that going to be

[AuECS]

British people eat terrible food.

[TRAINMASTER321]

What is that theme? not the wallce and gromit theme

[CombineHarvester01]

An instrumental bit from the song 'Navigation' ;)

[HoorayforOliver]

This looks very cool! However, may I point out, when a tram is coming down hill, it's back end should be pointing up, and it's front sloping downward.

[CombineHarvester01]

Yeah, that's an error on the animator's part - at the time I was animating this I only had a very limited number of models to work with. The range I have now is much larger of course. :)

[StanleysilverZ]

Nice CGI. Your right it's very effective. Looking forward to this series oh, and whatever happened to Blake?

[CombineHarvester01]

Thanks :) I'm afraid I have to admit, I only found very few people to voice in it, and after exams I lost the interest, but maybe one day in the future...? Time will tell...

[ronanL10]

this could well lead to a tv show career in the future :)

so far, there hasn't been any Thomas 'tram like' series yet :)

[CombineHarvester01]

Thanks! :) I'm glad you said that, my ambition is actually to have a career as an animation filmmaker, and possibly as a script writer as well.

[ronanL10]

with this, your ambitions will go superb :D

[CombineHarvester01]

Ah thanks! :D

[thomasanddiesel]

i would like to be an animator too, but i m not as good as this! did u use paint? and did you draw so many pictures over and over again or did u just drag the trams?

[CombineHarvester01]

Thanks :) You've got it bang on there, this is animated on Paint. I end up drawing several million 'models' of the trams seperately (I think the fewest I've got away with for one character is 40) and drop and drag them in front of the background. So really, it's a very simple technique, but it does take ages if you want it to look accurate.

Good luck for the animation world! :)

[CombineHarvester01]

Every last frame you see in that trailer and will see in the first episode is actually my own work entirely - so I'm a writer, director, voice actor AND animator. :P

[MrThomasAndWALLE]

I thought ray helped you with the harder parts?

[CombineHarvester01]

Nope, Ray does CG faces for Thomas the Model Series

[RayTheTrainEngine]

I didn't do anything in the making of this, its entirely all his own work :) I only make the animated faces for TTMS.

[MrThomasAndWALLE]

oh ok.

[ronanL10]

wow, this will be amazing :)

[therailwayinspector3]

Love it, and I'm REALLY looking forward to it

[trainlover657]

wow, this looks awesome

[PokelordEX]

xD awesome, I like how the tram moved round the corner, that was quite clever in the way it was animated.

Great work =)

[MrThomasAndWALLE]

cool animation mate. can't wait to see it.

[517wiiface]

EXCELLENT!!!!! BEST OF LUCK!!! BTW was some of the music from wallace and gromit?

[CombineHarvester01]

It was indeed :)

[UnluckyTug06]

This looks pretty cool. I'll be watching. =D

[RayTheTrainEngine]

Excellent animation! :) Much better with the music and I like the new footage! 5/5

[PercyandBillyfan828]

COOL =D

[missoliverandblossom]

Wow. All i can say is, Can't wait to see it.

[NemesisHero123]

Oh Boy Can't wait! :)

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

2018?? You can't be serious...

Oh well, I'm looking forward to this, no matter how long it takes.

[ThomasandStanley]

Nah, he means 2010, but left it like that for the lulz

[CombineHarvester01]

Well it'd give me lots of time to finish it :P

Nope, end of August/start of September is more likely :)

[ThomasandStanley]

Awesome! Can't wait till it's done (whether it be this month or 2018 :P)

[oliver11gwr]

Best of luck to you on City Trams dude =D
