Created to be played along with our 104th anniversary podcast:
This animation was created to go along with the 104th Titanic sinking anniversary podcast we held on April 14th, 2016. You can listen to the recording of that podcast (nearly 4 hours long) along with this video to get additional minute-by-minute, in-depth information on the sinking. Go to - - play the podcast at the top of the page, then play this video at the point in the podcast we say to play, and the podcast will be synced with the animation.
This is our full-length animation of the Titanic sinking, beginning with the iceberg collision and ending with its disappearance. The point of collision is at 1:06. This is a complete animation; not a short animation that was slowed down to match real time. This is also highly accurate, though we have already documented improvements we plan to make for the final game. The animation includes text frequently appearing with what is happening on board the ship. This includes visuals of various interior rooms flooding, lifeboats launching, rockets firing, and the Californian on the horizon. The animation was created in Unreal Engine 4. The exterior model used is not our final model, but an older model created by one of our team members.
