Jesse's Train
This is an animation I did for the BNPR animation jam, with a timeline of 3 weeks to complete it from scratch.
It's about a train conductor and an outlaw who hijacks the train.
Due to the time constraints, I decided to go for models that were low-poly with lots of stylization, and an environment that was simplified but appealing.
The rearview mirror is colored greens in these shots as they're unedited- in post the reflection is added in to compensate for a specific shot where she notices someone's on the side of the train.
The train.
The final duel.
An environmental shot without the train.
The "conductor" of the train.
Jesse.
The train itself was a lot of fun to model and rig. The smoke effect was also a joy to generate procedurally.
The train has a couple of anti-theft deterrents.
The grappling rifle. Went a bit extra animating a collapsability feature that went unused.
A revolver.
