The Martian Invasion of Surrey-Chapter 2: The Artillery Man's Story

Рет қаралды 172,020

2 жыл бұрын

The Army destroyed; Woking and Horsell in flames. Tripods on the rampage. An Artillery Man has a lucky escape and describes his experiences. This is the second chapter in my ongoing project to animate H G Wells' book "The War of the Worlds". In 1906 the French translation of "War of the Worlds" was published with illustrations by a Brazilian artist, Henrique Alvim Corrêa and this CGI animated film based upon Wells’ novel draws heavily upon Correa’s images.
The "Woking History and Heritage" website:
wokinghistory.org/articles/wo...
provides a detailed description of the Woking area and explains how Wells used actual locations in which to stage his Martian invasion. I have used these locations in the film with specific references to road names and buildings which were there in Wells' neighbourhood in Woking. For example, the Narrator's house (which is not where Wells lived) has been identified as "Pooks Hill", at the top of Maybury Hill. I have constructed "Pooks Hill" as I think it may have looked in Victorian times.
Software used includes Lightwave 2020, FCPX, Affinity Photo, Metashape, Meshmixer, Mixamo, Makehuman, Logic Pro
Lightwave features used include: Instancing, flocking, Bullet Dynamics, Ragdolling, FBX Interchange, Compositing, Hypervoxels

the animations are really amazing I can see the scenarios of the works of the artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa in it, WHICH MAKES IT MORE INCREDIBLE AND SPECTACULAR EVEN!!

I much prefer the appearance of these tripod fighting machines to the ones depicted in the artwork commissioned for Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds. While I love the soundtrack of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version, I always felt that the tripods depicted weren't sufficiently alien in design. They almost looked like something humans would build, if asked to construct a walking tripod machine. These, on the other hand, definitely feel sufficiently weird and frightening.

@hamishreid8791 2 ай бұрын

I kind of agree, but it was the sleek military look of Jeff Wayne's design that made me really scared of the concept. They look insectoid and fast, and those mosquito eyes were quite alien to me! I know that the designs weren't true to the novel, but in principle I think Michael Trim got it correct.

@@therandomkidyoutubeTo be completely fair, I don't actually"like" this tripod design; I simply prefer it to the ones in Jeff Wayne's Musical Version. The best version of all is the one developed for the upcoming video game, which is itself a derivative of the design from Stephen Spielberg's War of the Worlds film. 😊

Well it's pretty recognised as one of the first true scifi books, plus the alien tripod has become a trope in itself, so I wouldn't call it underappreciated.

Love the way you've animated the fighting machines, as this 1906 design is one of my favourites (I also believe it was HG Wells favourite). Great to see them in action. 👍

@KillenOlsson 2 жыл бұрын

This is great! Loved the little nods to the 2005 film, and it's really interesting to finally see these machines in motion. A while back I got my hands on a PDF of Corrêa's original edition, it has a lot more illustrations than the more commonly known ones. I could send it to you if you'd be interested, might help in figuring out the order of the illustrations as well.

Only one martian tripod have a heat Ray but the another two you won't have your the heat Ray lol. Another thing witch are the different martian tripods. There is one that looks like a ball with legs but no arms , there is one that looks like a tin can martian tripod and there is one that looks like a have cut sphere with legs and arms attached to the have cutted sphere. Another thing about the martian tripods they have a bulb below their bottom but for the ball martian tripod it have no bulb on it 's bottom hmm.
