‘Train Station’ is an experiment inspired by anatomy drawing classes. The anatomy of the ‘human’ characters in this animation is similar to first draft pose studies in drawing. Using simple geometries as body parts and connecting them with lines. The faces are also very simple yet strong in their expression and motion. Another experiment on how to add very simple but strong expressions. In this case an expression of awkwardness and mistrust.

The background and foreground elements – other than the characters – in this animation are 2D. The materials of the 3D characters are highly emissive, making them look 2D as well. Adding everything together was achieved through compositing.

Concept, Design, Animation, Production all done by Lorenz Foth.
