I have began work on a short animated film for a class at school. My Prof wanted me to come up with a animated short involving two characters interacting with each other. So being the toy train fan that I am. I decided on doing a animated short about two locomotives trying to climb up a mountain during a thunderstorm. I have not finalized if I will draw them in Photoshop and animate them in the animation program I am using. Or perhaps I can I will try to use toy trains and do a stop motion style animation. Still not sure but I will post more when I can.
Just a quick update 02/23/2015-Had my weekly meeting with my Prof about my portfolio class he likes my animation just have to make some minor changes to the ending. Though he said I can begin production of the animated short. I will post some sketches later tonight and tomorrow.
Another quick update 03/8/2015 I have finished three of the scenes backgrounds might make some changes if needed. I have also made the locomotives. The wheels will be animated along with puffing smoke. However, I chose to leave out animating the drive rods for now I may add them later on. I have also gotten a friend who will be doing the voice over for the animation.
Here are the two locomotives so far.
A quick update 03/28/2015 I have gotten a friend to do the voice over work and I have been working on some of the backgrounds for the animation. I have just finished making the station in Photo-Shop may make some slight changes not sure yet.
