Two aliens, picking up samples of terrestrial life on earth, get confused by the new train between Madrid and Valencia and mistake the train for their own space-craft.
Created in 1999, this is an advertising spot for RENFE, the Spanish Railway Company.
The Daiquiri/Spainbox team, in charge of the postproduction and 3D visual effects, computer generated almost all the elements of the spot: the aliens, the ladybird, the grass where it lands, the aliens’ attack, the aliens’ weapons and accessories, the railway station and the train in some shots.
The work has been implemented using Softimage, Maya and Alias software, plus a specially developed Daiquiri/Spainbox software for enhancing the response of the characters to light. Compositing was done on Henry and Flame.
