A longer version of the War of the Worlds teaser. This is for a victorian version faithful to the book. These are test shots to see if certain shots are feaseable. They are only work in progress and as such only indicative of the final work. It will be interesting to see what people think.
The short teaser verion is here..

Ive decided to add notes to avoid confusion as to what is depicted. The first shots are of The Journalist heading home to Woking as the second Cylinder approaches Earth. As dusk falls the cylinder lands close by and the Journalist notices the fires of Woking in the distance.
The second scene is of the Steamer heading out to sea as the Thunderchild stands its ground about to attack the advancing Tripod war machines.( this is a test to see if the computer handles the poly count. Each tripod is 1,200,000 polys and the Thunderchild is 1.4 million alone and the Steamer has 250 people on board complete with bags and clothes) .The third sequence is where the Journalist sees Tripods meet for the first time with the fires of Shepperton in the distance.(this is a test of tracking and layers. The sky, trees, carriage and ground are all split into layers. Atmospherics can be added to this plus more Tripods). Next its Shepperton Church. The Tripod here is the First one to be knocked out by shellfire. Stunned, the Martian looses control and the Machine staggers into the tower and collapses. Lastly is a poly test of the dead martians in London, near primrose hill.(you can see the Cylinder embedded in Primrose Hill- right at 1.56. At the end is a close up of the heatray with its' iris "lens" and the red weed (procedurally created and animated). I hope that clears things up! Ta for reading. Steve
