The exhibit will focus upon the working relationship between the conductor and the driver as the central storyline. Along with the streetcar itself, these principle cast members will bridge the advancing eras in time and symbolize continuity within the community.
In the public exhibit version of the project, the characters will be designed as automatons that respond to visitor interactions. In the home-play digital version of the project, these characters will be rigged and animated to allow them to interact and respond to various screen events and inputs. Preliminary computer models (modelled, rigged, and animated with Blender software) are being used to block in the characters to assess how they fit into the streetcar models and to provide visual markers for development of the camera system.
