    This is literally how the Polar Express is. The crazy sweeping camera shots. The aggressive closeups on the train. The awkward lip sync on everyone. The 50's era setting. The hobo just kind of randomly appearing every now and then. They even threw in Half Life 2 sound effects when the movie already felt like a 1 hour long SFM. This guy understood the assignment and NAILED it.

    The thing I really love about this is that you followed the actual cinematography formula used in the film. Just lingering on one item that eventually enters into a bigger part of the scene. The fact that you took that and made it look like a fast and furious and Michael Bay love child is the funniest thing I've seen all week.

    As a 2000s kid you know not what this means to me; this is a gorgeous, creative, inspired tribute, a marvelous extension of the original scene and a reimagining of the classical world of The Polar Express. A detail I think is really cool is this seems inspired by the idea that during the movie, we would follow the journey of certain loose things--as a weird focal longshot--and this captures the surreal nature of seeing where things end up and what either the consequence or outcome might be, which Zemeckis toyed with in the original movie. Godly vision.

    Nice work - this is how you do it.
    When CG was first used in movies (like in Tron, when they had to program the camera movement in _numeric values),_ directors realized that with this new tool, you can put the camera _literally_ literally *_anywhere_* and move it however you see fit for the scene. Far too few movie makers make actual *use* of this incredible freedom 40 years later.
    It is refreshing to see someone who _understands_ this freedom. Love how you hide the transition from TV back to "reality" in the shake of the car crash! 👍

    Ok, I love this video.
    First of all, it’s directed just like how the polar express is directed. From the camera movements, to the sound design, to the lighting, the cinematography, everything. I love how the camera follows the wrench as it goes under the water and continues to explode different mines, I love how the camera follows the piece of shrapnel that bursts into the engine room, how it follows the bullet later on, the actual movie did that, too! There was a whole sequence that followed a ticket as it flew out the window for christs sake.
    The idea of there being dormant mines in the lake under the ice is a great idea (since the actual film takes place just over a decade after World War II in like 1957)
    Again, the sound design is fantastic. From the grinding of the metal to the cracking of the ice, the explosions, and just the sheer roar of the locomotive as it grinds against the land in the neighborhood… Simply fantastic.
    The physics are also something to be admired, I don’t know what engine you animated this in, but it looks fantastic.
    And you got a love how through it all, not a single person actually died throughout this entire catastrophe. 😂 to be fair, I don’t want to see a bunch of child sized ragdolls flying all over the place because… That’s just in poor taste. So kudos for not going overkill… Literally.
    Overall, a stellar animation that has made my night. I love this movie to death, and this animation is straight fire 🔥🔥🔥

    You know, usually when people place vehicles in a period setting, they forget that most of what’s on the road is residual cars from earlier years. The police cars and Plymouth date to the late 50s but there were a number of road cars and trucks from the 40s sprinkled throughout. Nice attention to detail
