Project 4

Storyboard

The train whistle squashes and stretches, then the train goes over a bridge with water underneath, then makes a turn and goes into a forest and then makes a turn to return to the starting position again.

3 Principles of animation

Train model from: https://free3d.com/3d-model/steam-engine-46387.html

Railroad track from: https://free3d.com/3d-model/railroad-track--49919.html

Bridge model from: https://free3d.com/3d-model/bridge-93915.html

Tree model from: https://free3d.com/3d-model/tree02-35663.html

#1: Squash and Stretch: The black "whistle" on the train squashes and stretches at the beginning while making a whistle noise

#2 Staging: Used rule of thirds and attempted to move the view around to make things more interesting than just having the camera on the front of the train

#3 Arc: The train moves in an arc when making turns

#4 Exaggeration: The whistle squash and stretch is also an exaggeration
