Fairytale of Alvis Way – Christmas 2016

Here it is folks – it’s the annual Steam Traction World Christmas film for 2016!
It’s December 24th and there is a very special delivery en-route from Steam Traction World to our hero – Dave. It’s the very last delivery of his…oh, we won’t spoil it for you, we’ll let you watch it for yourself. As fans of Christmas adverts – you may notice a couple of special characters from this years seasonal offerings, see if you can spot them. Plus a couple of characters from our previous festive films Bear, Hare and Coalaff, the loveable, friendly fella from Frozen, er we mean Brazen, made from Coal; and who knows Dean and Steve may also appear again this year!

The film was particularly well liked with a number of people commenting it was ‘the best yet.’ It certainly was the most demanding project to date as we produced, from scratch, every single element that you see on screen – remember folks, we are engineers, not Pixar! You can see the making of HERE.

The best Chrismas ad of 2016. (Ahem), Might appeal slightly more to people who like steam engines, sheds, model-making and that sort of thing. Up with that sort of thing! (sort of Ivor The Engine style animation, too. Up with that sort of thing, too).
