Yesterday, network rail unveiled their plans for the building of a new high speed rail connection between London and Scotland.
We helped Darkside Animation and Nick Scott Studios produce the concept animation for Pretzel Films and Network Rail for the end client.
The production of the 1m:20s concept animation which required the building of a whole city, landscapes, several train stations + character animation and rigging, special effects programming and fluid simulation was carried out in a record breaking 2 weeks from assignment through concept and to completion.
The full animation can be seen here:

Parts of it was also featured in BBC News' covering of the story plus most of the other UK press.
