The Martian Invasion of Surrey-Chapter 2: The Artillery Man's Story
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- 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....
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!!
Seeing a Oneshot Niko profile picture just makes it 200% more.
This is precisely how I imagined the book going, absolutely fabulous work being done here!

Loving that Spielberg Reference™.
Have you even read the book
@@achilleswileyhave YOU even read the book?
Yes
@@achilleswiley He's obviously referring to the scene near the end, when he turns the corner, just as Cruise did in the Spielberg film. He may have also read the book, but you give the impression that you have not seen the film.
I know
That refference to the 2005 version take me by surprise!!!
Absolutely amazing. War of the worlds is so underappreciated, just like your great work!
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.
5:50 you did a little recreation of the 2005 Film right? love it!
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.
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.
old comments
@@scoopidyschloopTo 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. 😊
@@kentslocum old comments
@@scoopidyschloop I wan't a fan of the story or the aliens in the 2005 version, but I loved the tripod designs!
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.
That would be great if it could be arranged. How would it work on a public forum?
@@kevinmccullen1 Will admit that I didn't think it through that far. I was considering E-Mail, but your channel doesn't have one listed. Could try just posting a drive link, but that seems like something they wouldn't let me put in a comment.
@@kevinmccullen1 I tried sending the link and can confirm that the comment was deleted. Might show up in the studio page, not sure how that works
Hi. My email address is in the video description above. Click the "Show more" button. I will delete the reference later. Many thanks.
@@kevinmccullen1 Nice, sent an E-Mail.
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. 👍
6:00 I like how this scene is from Steven Spielberg’s 2005 War Of The Worlds movie.
Picked the reference
I thouight so!
True
Yes you uwu
That's ture
Your work is AMAZING, thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
Brilliant work, really enjoying the 2 episodes so far 😁👍 I can see now where James gets his artistic abilities from - I know him from local parkrun a few years back.
Amazing animation I love the little nod to the 2005 film at the end
I'm looking forward to when "The Thunder Child" makes it's debut!
5:09 That image is the stuff of nightmares.
3:29 military getting murdered by Martians meanwhile in the background *happy music plays*
3:00(Also the Martian on the right just did a perfect 180 rotation right there and then)
Like how the martians just bulid different martians tripods but for one martian tripod that looks like a ball . IT HAS NO ARMS
Maybe it was for an armless Martian
I know like what does it even do
@@WhyIsEarthInTheFreezeZonei wonder what fighting machine they will make for the disabled martians lol
Good job at doing this project with war of the worlds 1906 and its great and excellent . I hope you can releases the other martian machines like the martian flying machine and martian handling machine and the martian tripod with the black smoke
The walking you did for the tripods gave then so much personality
I like how you’re kind of making your own story to see. I’m excited for the rest
This is excellent absolutely excellent almost reminds me of how i imagined the events as i first read the book
PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!
love the animation, but it just amazes me of how the Army only had one piece of artillery unit and simply ran away after it exploded, like the wastage of manpower was not worth it ( well I it shouldn't be suprising considering the fact that the army was not expecting such a powerful weapon)
i like this animation about the War of the Worlds👍
The Happy music that was playing when the British soldier where vaporize was hilarious :'D
I like how you used the original models because I think they are the best
The only problem I have with you is wing the old models is that they look a bit goofy with the eyes
The Best models: 1906, 2005, 1953
when he is hiding on the house the tripod passed by like in 2005 tripod
So the world is burning around him, and the narrator is just sitting at home like it's just another day.
The people: running desperately for their lives to not get brutally incapacitated by the heat ray or incarcerated by the Martians
Music: nice hip pity hop pity piano
4:21 the despicable me reference is spot on and I love it (idk if it was supposed to be a reference so here we are)
excellent reference to the 2005 war of the worlds
Seeing these Correa Tripods reduce a human to their own skeleton as opposed to the 2005 ones disintegrating you leaving your clothes behind is a lot more disturbing
This is Boss! Can't wait for Chapter 3!
3:06 this from men of war2 asaut squat2????
Simply amazing! You've inspired me to start a 12" diorama. Stay tuned...
Utterly horrifying! Bravo!!
I love this. I simply just love it. It’s so unique.
i like some of the 2005 references
YES I HAVE BE WAITING FOR SO LONG!
Awesome work!
Absolutely brilliant’n can’t wait for the next ones!
This is way too amazing, I really NEED a part 3
Glad you like it. Probably be a few months before Chapter three I'm afraid.
1:05 I would actually leave the house if I saw that a mile away
Yep, I"m really loving this.
Long time man and still making videos fastest and hardest he can.
GIBVE US THE NAMES OF THESE SONGS THEY ARE HOTTER THAN THE HEAT RAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the Alvim Correa Tripod
This is literally what I imagined while reading the book the first time
5:44 i love how he mades the war of the world 2005 reference
Oh wow this is a great animation
This is a reference to the war of the worlds 2005 scene 6:07
So much better than the BBC one mini series. Where this version is pretty much following the story instead of changing the story all together.
Yea
I saw war of the worlds earlier today for the 7th time in a week and realized the man with the child and the tripod walking next to the house which the soldier is hiding behind also happened in the movie I was so confused but still shocked at the same time
what timestamp was it?
5:43
Great work
I love the callback to the 05 movie
I like the idea that tripods like... having fun while killing people)))
Perfect, non-gory. epic action.
Nice 👍
5:45 is this supposed to be a reference to the 2005 film when Ray was running alongside the houses and the tripod passes by and the dad carrying his child passes by
Good job
you are the best
You must finish the whole story!! Also how come only one tripod has a Heatray and the others do not? That one tripod walking to the side when the Artillerymen are running away is just looking down thinking "I wish I could fire something at them" lol
There are multiple variants of the tripod that don’t have heat rays.
the last scene at the end with the pod distroying the houses and walking out of the city was from war of the worlds 2005 movie by steven spilberg
this is really good!
What's the music's name? Also great animation love these chapters
I saw chapter 1 already now im watching chapter 2
I want this tripod😊❤🎉👍😃
Very clever.
Love the music
Give link to the songs
Ace, i thought it was actors in period costume at first.
3:40 bro got absolutely thrown though
BIG YET!
5:44 big WOTW reference
The tripods look so derpy it’s funny.
Epic
Superb work. 👍 How many hours would you estimate it takes to create each episode?
Where did you make these videos
5:30 war of the worlds 2005 reference
I love war of the worlds
Has una animación que los tripodes seblleven a las personas
i love this but the one thing that bothers me is why did the miltary run before even shooting they fired one gun but they all had rifles
maybe it’s their first time seeing heat ray blasted their artillery
@@idkwhatusername3849 hmm?
@@idk34891 I meant first time seeing how strong they were so they ran
@@idkwhatusername3849 okay thanks I understood the first one a little bit but this one explains it
@@idk34891 apologies I wasn’t good at explaining stuff
OMG they recreated the 2005 war of the world first tripod clip 6:06
4:15 I may be wrong but isn’t this a reference to the 2019
To a degree it kinda is.
Yeah it’s pretty much
It's wrong this episode is supposed to be three and 2 this one because in the book he met the artillery man After he had brought his wife to leatherhead.
I picked the reference
The soldier running looks like the film with tom Cruise
Genius
5:45 this scene is similar to the 2005 movie
Thus epic
i saw you addend a 2005 war of the worlds refrence
5:11:its from one of the illustrations
Hey
let's goo
@6:10
WOTW 2005 reference
5:49 Is this a refrence to the 2005 war of the worlds?
yep
why didn't you put the cage on the tripod
The handling machine wasn’t invented (hopefully I spell it right)
1:08 let me just aim my recoils rifle up a lil bit
6:05 it's the remake of the 2005 scene
again the alvim correa tripods
😉👍
This is amazing but I wonder something. Why is there one martian tripod having the heat Ray but the another two martian tripods have no heat Ray, it 's like the martians just said. 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.
