The Gravy Train Overview

The next bunch of posts will be about a Digital Visual Effects and Compositing thing I’m working on as a producer and modeler with a group of super talented people called The Gravy Train.

It’s to be a 1940’s industrial train station, primarily drawing on Bristol Train station as reference, and using Red Epic footage of the Sydney Carriage Works as a backplate.

A bunch of concepts, models, and at least one textured model. Enjoy!
