That reminded me of the "cat bus" from Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro."

Hi!

I'm a Mexican living in Spain, and was completly thrilled with this video. I jumped off my seat when that feathered serpent (that is what Quetzalcoatl means) came out from the tunnel. The movement of the metro was amazing too, snaking its way into and out the station. Kudos!

I have only three comments:

1) The feathers seemed to be a little shiny and rubber-like once seen close-up. Had they been more like feathers or rock/wood carved versions of them the result would have been more impresive still.

2) I noticed it had an "Indios Verdes" sign on its front side, so it was going north. However, for some reason, I was expecting it to be heading south. Strange how one keeps impressions of places and times inside the head.

3) The model is based not on the Aztec (Mexhica) version of Quetzalcoatl, but on the Teotihuacan version of it, which was a culture long time gone by the time the Aztecs appeared as an ethnic group.

Oscar, I loved it! I have visited Mexico D.F. 25 times and I always enjoy the Metro. I have been reading everything I can about ancient Mexican Mythology in hopes of finding a story to animate. You have managed to combine 3 of my favorite things. Blender, Mexican mythology, and the Mexican Metro system. Muchas gracias!

Good work, fellow!
Really strong impression with the serpent. Dynamic motion and surprising appearance in the scene! If you have more time to work on it it will be good to accent on the clothes as the focus of the action, because the animated train/serpent grabs all the attention of the public and is overwhelming the other attributes. May be more details of cloth for example, something that will focus the watcher to the advertising of the product… Once again good work!
Greetings!
