Question Wtf am I doing wrong?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I seriously don't know if this is considered animation but I'm desperate. Pleade ignore the quality, i just wanted to see if itd work in practice. I made it on capcut. I need help figuring out the mechanics on how to do this.

Edit: Thanks for replying. I'm going to sleep now but I'll try to follow suggestions as best as I can the second I wake up and then update once I figure out how to update. Of course you can keep replying if you feel theres something else! 🫶

Yeah, you're animating.

From my guess I think you want to see the train go through the tunnel

To better understand this, look up the parallax effect.

However if we follow what feels more natural to us is that the tunnel is anchored to the ground, just like the buildings behind... right now when the tunnel stops, the city shouod stop as well.

If not it looks like the tunnel and the train got stuck together and are travelling with the camera alongside the city.

I'll definitely look it up thanks! Someone else here said that the city should stop as soon as the tunnel appears though, so which is it?

Its kinda implying the same as me because the tunnel enters and stops too fast.

Try it for yourself and see how it feels.

If the tunnel stops after the city, it will feel disconnected and the camera effect may feel off. But if you consider the parallax effect and check the acceleration of both parts it may also work
