Testimonial

“Your animation is great and was very well received.
You did a fantastic job both from an historical and a technical point of view.
I believe your film will be shown in many motor museum around the world and we will be working hard to get maximuim exposure for it.
I look forward to work with you again for new animations I have in mind regarding the invention of the main means of transport.”

Production Notes

This project was a low budget one, so I proposed minimal animation for each shot. This means nice artwork for each scene, with just enough action to convey what’s happening and illustrate the story.
The film took 232 hours of work in total (180 hours for the animation). I did the animation, edit, sound track lay and mix. I advised as to where and how the original script could be improved, and did some background research to keep the piece as historically accurate as possible.
I didn’t do the 3D shot at the start, that’s royalty free stock footage. There is another version of this film too with some client supplied live action footage at the end.
