SIDETRIP : EXPERIMENTAL : THE TRAIN

SideTrip : Experimental : The Train
Unlike other SideTrip images, this one was a bit different. Instead of it being stills, I animated it using AfterEffects and Modo. This was originally a 16 second loop, sequenced 3 times, a bit of motion graphics was thrown in on the 2nd loop. Music was produced using Reason along with a bunch of VSTs.
