- A behind the scenes look into how the simple intro piece was made for my Ultimate Trackmaster toy review. As always I have used some really simple tricks to make the toys shine and tell a simple story where all the sets on review are incorporated in the intro video.
One simple in-camera trick is called Dolly Zoom, here is a wiki page link which explains this effect.
en.wikipedia.or...
Playsets seen in this video are..
Sodor Fireworks Co wagons
Trackmaster Track Packs
Rattle and Shake Coal Hopper featuring Rusty
Sodor Search and Rescue Searchlight featuring Victor
Raise and Lower Drawbridge featuring Percy
Tomy Percy Vs Trackmaster Percy
Toby at the Whistling Woods
Arthur at the Copper Mine
Shake Shake Bridge featuring Thomas
A dark side faker clone Thomas and fake clone wagons were used in the opening sequence, no high quality licensed toys were destroyed in the making of this video.
Thomas and Friends, "Томас и его друзья" "Thomas y sus amigos" "Thomas und seine Freunde" "きかんしゃトーマス" "토마스와 친구들" "Thomas et ses amis" "thomas dan teman-teman" "थॉमस और दोस्तों" "Thomas ei suoi amici" "โทมัสและเพื่อน ๆ" "thomas e seus amigos" "Thomas och vänner" "托马斯和朋友" "Thomas og Friends" "Thomas ve Arkadaşları" "توماس والأصدقاء" "Thomas và các bạn"
Thomas the Train, "Thomas el tren" "Thomas le train" "トーマス電車" "토마스 기차" "Томас поезд"" Thomas o trem" "Thomas kereta" "Thomas der Zug" "Thomas ang tren" "Thomas vlak" "托马斯火车" "توماس القطار" "Thomas a vonat" "Thomas tàu"

we need more heavy back stories, people always enjoy a dark side thomas parody, it just works so well every time
You should make your own series
yeah, like an example, Mad Bomber!
@@SBDC_YT That has been discontinued
Except when its Sodor Fallout, but you are right Leo, truly untapped potential.
Yeah, just look at Shed 17
Unless you're not able to handle the gore and dark themes that it shows
I love these types of videos, Leo. Please keep them coming.
ThomasWoodenRailway I love your vids
Can I be your friend ThomasWoodenRailway
K
Efcsa
He quit now
I should add there is another video related to this to come and it talks about a very simple spark effect I used in this video, due to it's pyro nature I need to keep it as a stand alone video
Remember when trackmaster sets used to come with characters other than Thomas?
Yea me too.
from sets like that i got:
Percy arthur Toby Victor and Rusty (and four thomases)
Yeah
*cries
I’ve seen several come with Percy, but how about Edward, James, Gordon, Henry, Ect?
Stevemmaahd there was a couple sets from the TOMY era that would include James, Gordon, Donald & Douglas, Duck. But I’ve never seen a set from any era that had a set with Edward or Henry ever!
I like Rusty and the Boulder, but I also love Bugs. Bugs is a really important early episode as it sets up the character Cranky, it would be wise for the current producers to see what Cranky is all about.
Thanks for the suggestion; the tea was nice. :)
A very interesting look into how you film your videos. I'll be sure to make use of some of the tips and tricks.. provided I can get my hands on a camera that actually works
I've been having bad luck with my equipment lately. :-/
By the way, the trivia about the signals was rather interesting as well. Never would have known .
He did allot of Hollywood work during the 70's and early 80's, I love the way he fooled people with his in camera illusions. Its the sort of stuff that is not taught anymore. The slide towards CGI post production fixes is now the norm.
It's worth looking at Mr Meddings IMDB file to see all the work he achieved. It's funny because the real focus seems to be with ILM as the real innovators, well they were second fiddle in my books
leokimvideo And
when I buy a camera I make sure it does all the things I require, and because I do loads of close up work to tiny models it often has me buying cameras others don't buy
camera choice is really important, almost worth a stand alone video but I tend not to do tech styled videos, it sounds more like a Blunty topic
cutaways can get you out of heaps of editing trouble and make a video so much more interesting, often people don;lt notice they exist. Any TV show or movie uses loads of cutaways to compress time, keep the visuals interesting and tell a story
the trick is you have to remember to shoot them when you make a little video, it's a good habit to get into
leo i doubt you will see this but you were part of my childhood
13:45 Morgate underground train crash reference.
Yeah
@@teletubbyboi4207 how did you know?
I just want all to know my methods are really basic, all in camera and hopefully I make the toys look good, i'm a Trackmaster fan now after having a good look at how it works
I use piano wire painted black, I buy them from my local hobby shop and they come in a variety of sizes
I use piano wire as I feel I have the most control
well its just been my little hobby for 25 years, thats all
well much of what I say and show here are the bone basic's of making a video the old fashioned way 'in camera', nothing is added in later in post production to add to the visuals
these days there is a real drift to do loads of CGI and add effects via blue screen and composites, sure I could do that as well but if you can doing stuff in camera tends to look very real
The shake shake bridge set is from the misty island rescue movie
Trackmaster presents a nice size to work with, far better than the tiny ERTL's I used on you know what
this is the complete reveal, the other looks only at the world of mini pyro, best left as a video well away from the film making subject
correct
on he SSB set the track layout is really important, trick to explain here in the comments, I know it took me a few go's to get it right and I needed the instructions as well
on the Mattel web site is the instructions to this set, just Googe Shake Shake Bridge Instructions and hopefully it's first pick... it was for me
basically google fixes anything I have found
This video is teaching me more in a few minutes than school has in 10 years
"Down means go and up means stop so upper still must mean go back, I know it must be one of thoose backing signals!" Percy refrence FTW! Anyway semophore signals go either way I don't think there's a set rule. I have seen other types of semophore signals where only the red section tilts up and down.
THE MEMORIES JUST COME FLOODING BACK HOLY SHIT
I often use manfrotto arms ( sometimes called magic arms ) but I also use blu tac and tripods as well
with the signals, there are variations as there were on real railways, Percy and the signal explores this. Thanks for the video Leo, if/when I find the time i'm going to have to try some of these techniques.
I always enjoy looking at your behind the scenes videos as it gives me an appreciation for the amount of time and effort put into each review. Plus it gives me some ideas for what I can do for my own videos.
It's a shame we don't get sets like this today
Lets just call this Mad Bomber Episode 1.5 so we can all get some sleep. Remember it's a Parody so I don;t go to prison.
I had that set (shake shake bridge) when I was little!😱😱😱
The nostalgia just hit HARD!
I recorded the behind the scenes as I made the video, it takes a little bit more time but hopefully it's worth it
did it work out of the box? i'm wondering what goes wrong with TM toys as I do hear a fair bit about them not working
5:20 I love how you called the other engines some.other critters
There are two types of semaphore signals on railways: lower quadrant and upper quadrant. Lower quadrant signals have 'em pointing down when they tell you to go, upper quadrant ones point up when they tell you to go.
That signal in your final video is a lower quadrant signal, and you got the gesture correct.
Great, watched the whole thing and enjoyed it very much! Keep up the good work Leo! :)
i'll never watch your massive trackmaster review the same way again! :) its nice to know how you make the videos Leo
Hey leo,
Have you thought about using a second platform other than youtube, like a private website, to show how to make the explosive charges we see?
It would be educational, a good use for your skills, and a way to pass your skills on to beginning pyrotechnicians.
Please consider it, like if you agree.
KLEB DA PLEB I hope he does as long as it isn’t for a criminal purpose.
Leo, I was given a tomy ultimate Thomas which came with a giant one. It also came with James, Toby, Diesel, Duck and Stepney.
The first problem was James, I recall it only working once. One of the wires snapped (I wasn't a wreck child)
The second problem is the model of Toby now. It has turned into a really weak model. It can only pull Henrietta nothing more than that.
These videos are awesome. When my TTTE series starts next year sometime, I'll have to give credit to you for inspiring my work and the effects used in them.
Hey dude after months of my wee boy (3 years) watching you videos we got him trackmasers sets for xmas and i have never see a kid so excited, cheers for the reviews you helped us get the toy that has made my boys xmas :)
Ps. When we said he had trackmaster stuff he went right for.your videos on herr
otherwise known as second again
Leo you are truly amazing
Thank you for teaching me the skills I needed to make my series 😊
alright, I was thinking of buying a tripod for my camera.
This is incredibly useful for when I'm filming
what part of this incorporates any footage from a HiT production..?
last time there was a series of takedowns it all involved those who were uploading videos which used HiT produced footage, sadly youtube is alive with rips of their productions, I would hate to think how many toys I have helped them sell from my toy reviews
On any signal if the arm is straight that means stop but upper quadrant signals point up and lower quadrant signals point down instead either way if the arm is diagnal that means clear.
I love cutaways, they're fantastic, and I sometimes use some in my videos
Thank you for using the knockoffs
hmm... have ya seen the Sodor Dark Times trilogy?
I think that there was a trackmaster to tomy transition track piece that used to be sold.
R.I.P Clone Thomas
You Won't Be Missed At All...
I love the fireworks video for the sound effects. I hope this sound effects could be for some other amazing videos.
Everyone please stop bashing Leo I have been supporting him since I first got a UA-cam account
Thank you so much
This did actually inspire me to make my series
Enhorabuena por tus magníficos vídeos que sigo desde hace bastante tiempo.
Como aficionado a Thomas, está temática enriquece aún más nuestra afición.
Gracias por tu creatividad en los vídeos.
I would build a giant layout of Tomy and Trackmaster, but my mom donated all my stuff to the local library :'(.... But if they had to go, at least it was for a good cause :)
I grow with Thomas I remember when I was little I had boco and I happy you putt boco
Another superb behind the scenes video. I am taking notes...!
That's silly shake shake is. On misty islands
Cool on the helicopter shot you see diesel 10
it seems like every tomy/trackmaster and take along or take n play set comes with Thomas, but the only set that came with Thomas in this video was the awesome shake shake bridge
00:13:48 RRRRRRRRUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Into a brick wall
sounds a bit over my head...very confusing to me
There's a reason why tilted shots are rare. Have you seen "Battlefield Earth" and the Nostalgia Critic's Review on it?
The Nightmare Dean 2014- Robin Williams VS David Kearns Final Battle With Heathbars/David Kearns Death
The explosion scene of thomas and the fireworks cars remind me of that katy perry song. X3
what kind of camera do ya use for the slow motion scenes?
I might use your incence Idea for my next LEGO Film involving the Emerald Night
nice fireworks leo
there is a wiki page on this topic and it also points at Battlefield Earth for some special mention....mind you as soon as you say Battlefield Earth is possibly too much information....lets not go there
This video has been very helpful when making my videos.
The jelly thomas is from hero of the rails scene of thomas vs spencer race
Same here
I LOVE Your videos loe
Leo what is your fav Thomas clasic episode
Hooray for fake toy destruction
I wish I had those all
I'm not much of a tea drinker. Is coffee a good substitute?
6.16 :O that's a remake of the set you made in made bomber twice
ya know, I think I could make a simple backstory on how thomas gets kidnapped and replaced by a stuttering cloned version of him, I always wanted to do a trackmaster thomas video. =3
hmmm...not quite
Thanks for this video Leo, I'm sure it will help many UA-camrs including myself at making videos. Excluding the explosions.
Just out of curiousity have you ever read any of the original Railway Series books, and if so which it your favourite?
But the thing is... does the thomas still work?
All I'd do is use a pressure coupler and the sudden jerk would set off the gunpowder but the gunpowder (1-2 containers are blown sky high and land next to diesel and blow up leaving diesel as a mangled mess and him sayin "My plan "backfired""
Is that Henry Welsh coal or normal coal?
For the whistling woods set your lacking a lot of trees.
yeah, they must me really hard to work with.
Can you make a video on how to make Toby's sideplates blue so it is more like it is in the railway series?
With paint or nail polish
well it was time well spent this video was very entertaining thanks for making it (:
I remember when I had a clone thomas
this....is....AWESOME!!!!!!
do you have a tomy/trackmaster james model?
cause I don't think I see him much in any take n play, wooden railway or trackmaster video that ya do.
Myles Watton likes MLP and TPPGs (my little pony and the powderpuff girls)!
will you review the trains from the great railway show pls pls with a cherry on top oh please review axel of belgium and freida of germany and vinnie of the united states and rajiv of india
Hello leo could you tall us how to make a real good Thomas episode
nice and let me know when you dont want your tomy and trackmaster 1 thomas toys
He's a collector, hes not going to just give them away
This was made the day before my first birthday
i don`t like tea but i like hot coco
Almost 9 years later I rewatch
how did you do this were you doing this while you recording the actuall intro or did you recreate all of it to explain how you did it
Hazelton316 what do you think
You might find this funny but I thought that disil10 had taken ovor sodor when I saw that truck ! (Oh and by the way I am only 8 years old. name:Marcus. I think you rock.)
Marcus-Rhett York now your 14 it’s been a long time hasn’t it
@Leokimvideo: What are the little black stick you use for pulling the fake thomas along? And where do you find them?
