This is gonna give me nightmares for a while... Even now, in my teenage years I am quite fond of Thomas because it's one of the -sniff- last good memories of my desceased father.
yh he does have a bluebell model you c it in his behind the scenes video. wat i find funny is he said none of your type will be around .kind of like ertl models. he strangely just sits there silent
hey i was looking at your conversation with nleeder and that you were talking about if he could possibly do voices for charcters in the videos, I was wondering if you still need anyone to do voices for you because I would be up for that.
Is the grand designer the mad bomber? No that's retarded. But is the mad bomber really a steam engine like like Andy said? Please give me a hint as to who the mad bomber or the grand designer is.
All I have ever said to viewers is to listen to Andy's speech very carefully, and remember it's a dream.
How much weight does a dream carry when Thomas returns to the railways, do you believe stories from a engine's dream, considering he's been at all the bombings up to now.
I am quite amazed at your series, Even the fact on how you remade the Ertls into HO gauge. I once saw a guy take a Thomas engine and found an electric motor with the exact wheels, color and driving gears as Thomas in the show has, if they had these for all the other engines, It would really add on to your series, No offense or anything. I also saw that in some vids that they had some sort of vid mod program that could add digital smoke, it could work for the stacks of the steamers for realisim.
I know all about the electric conversions, issue for me is cost, this video is made on a shoe string budget, and I have found the best method of control for my series is basically having the engines set up as rod puppets, I need pin point accuracy stop points to pull up in frame.
All my effects are in camera, so I know what I am getting, with digital it never wraps around engines correctly, it always looks fake. My methods are basic and easy to implement.
Real smoke is very simple, people tend to make it hard as they have never thought of all the options available.
The smoke you see around TB2 is baby oil sprayed through a standard spray gun and plumbed to the set, the smoke you see on the diesel is a incense stick..
really simple stuff, not expensive and really effective if lit correctly.
Really good ideas there, I can tell that Andy was pretty easy to add smoke, I can also tell that with how small the Ertl models are and that most of them wouldn't really have any room for any major smoke effect.
To get the Andy smoker to work well there are a few tricks to do with the incense stick, also the area where it is burning is especially set up to breath, I will explain all this by a video, I am sure there will be others out there wanting to know this simple trick.
As anyone would know who has played with incense sticks they ave a tenancy to go out as soon as they make contact with a metal object, so this needs a special set up.
There is much speculation to who the MB is, I dont give any clues out, best bet is to watch the videos, and look through comments as there you will see trends of what people think.
Your best guesses are best left for the competition which is being produced now.
Thanks matt0044, its also a little calling card for a TV series I grew up with (as repeats) called Thunderbirds, when I was a boy it certainly set some seeds in my mind which to this day I easily remember as being excellent entertainment, nothing like a disaster to draw a crowd.
Well done Leo - good teaser, can't wait to see the whole story!! Your have your camerawork finely tuned for great in-camera production - it is good to see that post work is not the be all and end all for the true pro! Keep it up! Your intense application to your chosen idea and your perseverance is an example to all of one man's determination to realise his dream! Sincere congratulations!
Leo, I would dearly like to, but Margery has been in hospital with injuries from another bad fall and is now home for very prolonged rehabilitation and I am chief cook and bottle washer etc etc for some very considerable time ahead. Old age is NOT good!! I'm sure you can find another suitable "Noel" voice from your very enthusiastic buddies - bon voyage!!
Leo, why not!! Everyone is a victim of something or other! You, of course, are inevitably tied to the evolution of Thomas and his unfolding story - a victim of your own success! So - keep those trucks rolling! Bon voyage!!!!
If Andy wasn't the bomber, who is? This next episode will unlock some clues on who is the bomber, who are these "people" above the Fat Controller, and much more. And if what Andy says is true, who is Thomas's evil look alike? Is it Bluebell from the Railway Series, cause the Ertl Version is a clone of Thomas.
Considering I started my channel as a bit of a challenge from a friend its done pretty well, I never expected the Thomas train video parody to be so well received, I was pinning my hopes on the weird jet videos I have and videos related to special effects, Its just a lesson you can never pick which video will be popular on the tube.
Wow, so full of suspense. The intro with the welder was wicked, and the whole dream sequence really gave this a very ominous sort of turn. You really pull out all the stops and know how to spin a tale! Im just wondering, in the intro, is Thomas blindfolded, or is that special welding glasses his fitted with?
Well this one grabs and dosn't let go, from the into on it just has your mind pulled right into it. and the cable tie dos give him a kind of drowsy look.
I have some making of videos related to the first episode, its explained in there, what you are seeing are basically rod puppets with smoke generators added.
Well now, this is definetely well worth the wait :) After seeing this I want to see the full episode more than ever :) Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see the complete episode :)
In the opening scene, there is a black Take Along chassis just to the left of the screen. Remains of one of the dummy models? (the ones you blow up instead of the real models)

I understand what you mean, money is constantly getting tight these days, still, you're doing great at this show.

Real smoke is very simple, people tend to make it hard as they have never thought of all the options available.
The smoke you see around TB2 is baby oil sprayed through a standard spray gun and plumbed to the set, the smoke you see on the diesel is a incense stick..
