Remembering David Mitton

Four years ago, David Mitton, the director of Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends from its first season in 1984 to its seventh in 2003 and a man who was just as essential to the worldwide success of the series as original author Rev. W. Awdry and creator Britt Allcroft, passed away at the age of 69. While it may not have made many headlines, his passing was an enormous loss to many children who grew up with the Thomas The Tank Engine series and have been inspired by its tales and aesthetics growing up - Myself included. Considering that at the present time as opposed to four years ago, all necessary videos to create a proper tribute to him were at my disposal, I felt it only proper that I would create this and pay my own homage to someone whose work on Thomas The Tank Engine (Being American, I didn't grow up with his other work, TUGS, so I didn't include it in this) has greatly influenced my life and some of my own films that I've made. Without Mitton, the series likely never would have been filmed with live action models, which throughout the 24 years that it was used, made for countless mesmerizing visuals that still look absolutely amazing to this day. In an age where computer animation has become the standard and model animation has been mostly relegated to the past, Mitton and his models are sorely missed. Rest in peace. Credit goes to TTTEArchives for some behind the scenes videos, Britt Allcroft's website for certain pictures, and assorted people on both YouTube and SiF for video, music, and pictures. Hopefully I'm not intruding on anybody. (This was originally uploaded four years to the day, but I made a gaff and got the year of his birth wrong, and I didn't want to just ignore it.)
