ReDesign Animation - The Last Train

Heyo! This is another redesign I did and any feedback would be more than welcome 😄

The animation itself is a bit old, but the content and length was great for a redesign.

What I enjoyed was making the train (even though pretty subtle in the mix due to the action), since I hardly had any steam locomotive sounds. So I used an idle bus engine as my base with an LFO to get the rhythm. With that in place I had my guide and added different engine and train sounds to follow that rhythm with steam sounds being ducked so they’d fill in the gaps in between the chou-chou sounds.

Also, what’s interesting about this animation is that the original only has music, no sfx. So it’s a great way to practice mixing your sfx with music. In case anybody’s interested this is the original video.

Cheers!
