Description:
If any of you have ever seen "Oh Mr Porter!", you might agree with me that it is a good, funny movie for train-lovers.
If you have not, however, this will be a small window into it. (It's on Dailymotion if you want to see it.)
That's why I wanted to make a half-decent version of the seven minute long chases scene at one time. I had an idea - not really a plan but an idea. I thought I'd make the parts needing actors in "The Movies", and the locomotive sections in Trainz.
And that I did - somewhat.
When you go to try to make a project like this, you find out very wuickly just how limited "The Movies" actually is. Not just in terms of sets, props, and costumes, but also - especially - in what your actors can do.
And as for Trainz? I would have done more with that. In fact, I have all of the engines set up for filming - for the most part. I'm just too lazy to make the rest.
But what I did manage to film I decided to edit together to make some sort of a unfinished, compressed, crappy version of the chase scene. (It also gave me a chance to exhibit my reskin of MSTNoodle's Lady into Gladstone, and my Movies characters of Will Hay, Graham Moffett, and Marriot Moore, who played Will Porter, Albert Brown the pudgy porter, and Harbottle the grizzled stationmaster's assistant respectively.)
One could say, on the bright side, it doesn't give away the ending and spoil the movie for newcomers.
But that's not much of a fair trade is it?
Well, I do hope you enjoy this despite my shoddy attempt.
«Again you matched things up well, Would watch what you do if you decided to go for something original.»
«Okay, the good stuff. This was a fun period movie. Liked the sets and the action and oldie movie stuff, along with the music. It was all well done. Have to agree with warlord about the text, however I was five bottles the worse for wear at the time of watching, so didn't have the excuse of being a dumb old country boy
Have never seen the Trainz before so will have to look that one up. Sound and overall picture quality could do with some improvement but overall this was very enjoyable.»
«I know that timing text is difficult but being a dumb old country boy... I couldn't read that fast.Since they are only at the beginning it didn't detract from it. Like the look of it too. Didn't realize it was two different applications used until I read the description after viewing it. Pretty nice for a self described shoddy attempt.»
