Music by Immediate Music: Epicon

The train model was made by SeaGate and can be found in Google Warehouse. Here is a link; http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=21655789dfe68c488e2c190e770fdce7&prevstart=0

Everything else was made by Rafael Rivera. The 3D model was made in Google SketchUp, the textures & animation in Cinema 4D and post in After Effects.

The shot from inside the station (around 1:15ish)... the camera tilting was a nice touch.

With the music I half expected a gladiator to jump off the caboose and slash the building in half with a broadsword. Maybe in the sequel?

Cool but seems there is a little problem of scale!

I was so focused that my building had the same dimensions as the real one that I didn’t realize the train is scale was off.

The initial plan was to make a ghost train that delivered ghost to the hunted train station but zombies would have been better. I later realize that because of the deadline I could not pursue that so I ended up with this anti-climactic ending.

Hi, nicely done. What I like are those hand-held shots. They give it a doze of a tension and drama . But I would like to draw your attention to those fast shots at the beginning. They seem just a bit to fast, to chopped. Like chase scene in the accelerated movie from the old times, if you know what I mean!:D

Thanks for the critic I really appreciate it. For the camera controls I think is worth mentioning that I used CStools for C4D.
