Transpennine Route Upgrade ‘On Track to Better’

Animated in stop-motion by director Tom O’Meara, the film is brought to life entirely in camera and painstakingly animated by hand, one frame at a time. The animation is rich with playful detail, with miniature models juxtaposed with life-size props mirroring the voiceover. The train featured in the commercial is a perfect scale replica of its real world counterpart. The level of craft employed by Tom results in a rewardingly tactile film, reflecting the care and attention in transforming the Transpennine Main Line.
