Description:
Viewers (or should we say passengers), witness bizarre sights as they experience interdimensional travel through an alien landscape, only made possible by otherworldly VFX.
The brief was to dictate a surreal train journey, whereby passengers travel upside-down, across water and down a wormhole, all the while taking in some weird and wonderful views made up of fantastical VFX elements married with reinvented stock footage.
Think turkey-alien 3D creatures, erratic spirographs being printed by one-eyed train crew and even a kaleidoscopic wormhole which teleports viewers to another dimension. All the while, we watch in awe as one passenger ages before our eyes, another grows a third eye and peeps into his alternate universe, and the journey ends sky-high.
This one was a VFX trip of a lifetime.
