TrainStation
Puppetworks created this release trailer for TrainStation, a hugely popular train simulation game developed by Pixel Federation. The trailer depicts a train run displaying the history of train technology, transforming from the past into the future.
With over 20 million players across the globe, TrainStation has established itself in the train simulation genre.
The trailer depicts a train run displaying the history of train technology as the engines transform from the past into the future. Based on the simple concept of transformation, as one run on one line progressively develops over time, the viewer is immediately connected to the core aspect of the game and immediately knows what the game will entail.
We paid extra attention to the stunning surroundings, and give the viewer a ride of environments that varies as along with the eras. Not only was it important that we had good train models and environmental props to showcase, but it was also a matter of complimentary VFX which we implemented at the right moments and places. Whether it was steam coming out of an old steam train or the lightning effects of an ultra new high speed train crushing the speed limits as it goes, these little details were thought over in order to deliver a pleasing result.
With over 10 million views, the trailer has been a great success.
