Hello Everyone,

I'm pleased to share with you an animation we (555Lab) did for THALYS (agency: Proximity BBDO). We did it in one 6 weeks from storyboarding to the final render.

The aim was to show with the help of a magic ride all the new features in the new THALYS TRAIN.

It has been done 100% Lightwave by 2 generalists and 1 post-producer with AE.
It was very intense!!: But I don't think we could achieve it that fast with another 3D Package.
One of the hardest thing was to keep the same speed and feeling for all the different "landscapes", be able to connect them, and be able to bend the rails in every direction needed. Bones were used for that.

POI Cam plug-in and Transmotion were very handy to be able to multiply all the objects, composite in AE saving precious rendering time and more flexibility toward the client.
The final resolution was 1080p.

I also learned a lot about setting up a renderfarm in this project!!!

Hope tou like it!
