I've actually been working on this for a few days. I just got all the cameras set up. Here's a link to my animation test. I've been watching lots of train videos for train speed. The speed looks good but after rendering it all out, it seems a little fast. Here's a screenshot of the landscape. Not really sure how to go about doing outside environments so I'm just kinda winging it. I like the look of the environment in the Pixar movie Cars..except without the plateaus.

Anyway, even though this will be a simple animation, I really want it too look good so I'll be open to any and all suggestions.

@stwert I almost didn't even add that beginning credits to the storyboard so I just numbered it as 0.5 hehe.

Here's the link to the animation test. Camtasia had trouble converting it to a mpeg4 so I uploaded it as a quicktime movie. So you might have to refresh the video several times before it actually plays.
