The Martians firing their heat rays into the clouds to form thunderstorms/lightening is a great notion. Obviously, the Martian machines re-engergise via lightning. In the 1953 film, the Martians relied upon nuclear energy as a power source for their rays and protective shielding. Many thanks, for this outstanding series of videos!
@@walterfechter8080 Thank you, and I'd hope he would too :) I'm trying to add to the story in interesting ways the best I can. Though it's also kind of writing itself and leading me along too. Many strange ideas seem to have fallen into place, caught me by surprise and shaped the story as it is going. Keeps me interested in what happens next while I'm animating what is happening now. Have a great year ahead Walter! Appreciated! :)
Oh my lord, the way this feels like it's being filmed by someone at times actually makes it feel way more terrifying and real. You absolutely nailed it on this one, finally, some more love for War of the Worlds.
:) * blushes * ...thank you Dylan :) That's one of the best comments I've ever seen too.. and I really appreciate it. I'm working on the next episode and it's so much work, I'm having to dig deep to keep pressing on, so that kind of encouragement really helps, you have no idea! As for the famous part... the one thing I've discovered is that it's really hard to get noticed. I mean, I'm very pleased to have as many people watching as I do, but really, it needs someone with a lot of reach to put it out there. I have reached out to people here and there, but anyone with large followings probably receive thousands of comments a day, so I just get lost in the noise. But, I keep pressing on. I hope at some point the series will get noticed, and I think the next few videos might help put it on the map, as they might be pretty share-worthy. Anyways, all in good time eh! I'll just keep plodding along, and see what happens. Whatever happens, I'm seeing this through! Again, thank you for such a lovely comment, made my day. You have a great one!
@@ClockMaster_3100 Well, that makes me most happy :) TY! 1953 is the one I grew up with, so if I can at least reach to that, I am most happy. Anyway, fingers crossed I can keep making good episodes, and I'll see you at the next one! :D Have a great week!
What you've manage to create is similar to my absolute worst anxiety nightmares. Real, and yet simultaneously unreal. I'm a massive fan of the musical - being a child of the 70's and 80's - and the imagery from Jeff Wayne's live show is quite similar to the world you've managed to create here. Incredible!
Thank you Dave, I really appreciate that! I'm yet to see the live show, but I'm sure I will at some point. I'm a child of the 70s/80s too, so I dare say we grew up on similar things. It all goes into the creative pot! When i hear I am conjuring anxiety nightmares and peoples fears, it can give me pause, but it would seem people quite enjoy putting themselves through it lol. So thank you for the lovely comment, all the very best!
These tripods are very close to the illustration in Arthur Mee's Children's Encyclopedia, where I first encountered them at the age of 10. Both they, and the story have fascinated me ever since. Don't know how you've done it, but it is brilliant.
That's an interesting reference! I just tried to search for the picture you must have seen, but nothing came up unfortunately. I'd be most interested to see it. I'm really glad you're enjoying the series, it's certainly born of love. I've been into The War of the World since I was a kid too. My introduction was the 1953 film, which has a special place in my heart, but also the Jeff Wayne musical. So, getting a chance to explore it myself all these years later is real joy. I have to say that the support from everyone watching is also wonderful, and makes it very worthwhile, and I'm thankful to everyone who comments and takes the time to watch. War of the Worlds fans would seem to be a very special breed. It's been a real joy to meet so many fans of the book(s), the films, the radio plays, and I guess this series too. I feel a little like a custodian. So thank you for the lovely comment and thoughts. And great to hear such an interesting and obscure reference too. I hope I manage to happen upon it one day!
Just discovered this while binge watching some WOTW's related stuff and I just gotta say this is probably one of the best animated versions of WOTW's I've ever seen! Great work!
It interests me that Wells description of the flying machine in the book is very similar to how people describe modern day UFO sightings too. I've seen several myself for real, so I have some reference to draw from as well :)
This truly coneys the awesomeness and horror portrayed in the novel. You have nailed the aesthetic and even added to the drama with your vision. Thank you.
holy smokes! This is the best WOTW content since the OG radio play. What's it feel like to completely smoke a Tom Cruise movie? I am sharing this with every movie fan and critic I know. I literally clapped. Kudos to your and your amazing talents, hard work and generosity. And the tripods? AMAZING.
I am humbled by your plaudits and very happy that you have enjoyed it so far! I'm also very thankful for you sharing it too. Between making the thing and normal life, I don't get much time to get it out there. That really helps a lot.. So all the thanks and for cheering my day and the work along. You have a great one!
Beautiful noiristic feel. I've loved the tripods ever since I read WotW in Classics Illustrated comics. Here, you did a good job with the head, the heat ray, the tentacle-legs. Of course I've read the story several times.
great video! also tbh this video is scary ngl, cuz imagine your a person filming this and a tripod stares at you, and also IS THAT A FLYING MACHINE CUZ IF IT IS ITS SICK!!
:) Well I sincerely hope I can deliver. There shouldn't be as long of a break between the next videos (fingers crossed). I expect there to be a bigger break between each major stage of story though. So I'm kind of treating it like mini seasons. Anyway, will see how it goes eh! So long as people are watching and enjoying, I'll keep making them :)
Music to my ears! Thank you Sharokhan! I really am trying to capture the nightmare of the scenario Wells imagined. It pleases me so much when I hear I'm hitting the right notes. Thank you for the comment, it's truly appreciated! :)
@waroftheworlds1934Absolutely!! Amazing work in all of the vids . I personally wanted to always see a movie in This style and i would very much like to see your work on a full length film. It truly feels unsettling and nightmarish , the black and white of the film and the radio truly showcase how hopelessly outmatched they are , really drives in the inevitability of the invasion. The design of the machines and aliens is amazing and i have to say that this in my humble opinion is the best adaptation hands down. Thank you for the good work and if i can help in any way please let me know
Only seen this now and absolutely enjoying what is certainly absolute horror beautifully done. While the army and RAF get wiped (have not seen the Navy in action yet?) and the atomic bomb is a decade away it seems Earth here is sending a warning and one the Martians ignore with absolute arrogance.
Keep up the great work lol I cannot wait toooo see the next one these little videos do bring back memories xD like that old stop motion WOTWs youtube channel its pretty mint!!!
Seriously this is what ive been looking for since 2019. It makes war of the worlds more lively and when i saw the lighting stuck the injured tripod ive been wondering of what it is for. BUT CAME THE FLYING MACHINE. I was bloody stuned but then my imagination started up. Why was the repair machine a flying machine . They could put heat rays on them.Mabey it’s because there too heavy or it would have a problem with aiming .I would give this channel a 5 star review. PLEASE make more videos i love them so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Kikki! So glad you're enjoying it and I really appreciate the review :) More videos are on the way. Sometimes there will be a bit of waiting, as some of them take much more time than others, but they will keep coming for sure. Hopefully not too long until the next one though. Thanks again, and very happy you're enjoying it :)
What a wonderful tension and sense of portent you have formented here- this is where creativity now lies, Hollywood having divested itself of any artistic talent, in favour of universally unpopular, quasi- political junk.
Thanks Phaasch, really glad you're enjoying the atmosphere of it all! Also I can't really argue about your thoughts on Hollywood. Message first, and then something resembling a film as a backdrop. Sad times. But then, good times too because perhaps it needed to die for film to move on a bit. I'd love to see more smaller productions and people really making pure genre instead of it just being used for set dressing.
@@waroftheworlds1934 Couldn't agree more. I'm a great fan of Expressionism and Noir, and your vision combines these genres with Orson Welles' imagery, and something else entirely. Subscribed.
This was the most ominous episode so far, the Martians *mean business* now. But It's also the beginning of the end, as the Martians expose themselves to Earth's air and will start to get sick.
Seriously next level shit, bro! I'd love to see you reimagine Godzilla for your next project, but TOHO and Legendary probably wouldn't let you post it. Frankenstein would also be a fantastic project, and I'm certain that it's public domain. Can't wait for the next episode, man!
Yeah, Godzilla would be fun. This is certainly in that kind of genre. Frankenstein is another interesting one. I'll remember that, thanks. I think the next project (when ever I get to finish this one!) is possibly Cthulhu. My missus is really keen for me to make a visual version of some Lovecraft, and I think it'd be fun. It's such a creepy world and also in a similar vein to War of the Worlds with the tentacle motif and tone. Anyway, we'll see what happens. For now, eye on the ball of seeing this one through! :) Really glad you liked it, thanks Harvey :)
Wells book has always affected how I look at aliens, it was the bit about the evolution of the martians (or the atrophy of their bodies) and how the hands or something similar are needed as the teacher of the brain. This stuck with me so the first thing I look for is how do the aliens manipulate tools or have the designers gone for weird because, Aliens!, and created something so impracticable that it could never create the technology let alone operate it or even survive a cold wind. This is a very long winded way of saying I like the design of your Martians. 😀
Lol. Firstly, thanks. Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I've kind of based it on the book, but added my own impression of them. I didn't want them to feel so removed from humans that you couldn't draw a parallel of sorts. If we ever get to see them up close, which I think we will at some point, they are much creepier than from a distance. Tentacles though... they are a nightmare to animate, that is all I'll say :) Glad you liked :D
Im always tweaking the models. But i did a major rework during the Flight of the 37s video. So a few shots in that video use the new model, but all the ones in this one use it. Glad you enjoyed, and yes, there is a WOTWS1934 discord channel. discord.gg/r9W66R9x64
So the two takeaways I have from this. Spoilers below. I did not expect the aliens to be so small. Giving the aliens weather manipulation is a new take on them as well. In the RTS games intro the Martians remark on their failure to maintain their environment on mars. This does implied they had terraforming technology besides the Red Weed and I guess this is an application of it. Now the question is this how they recharge, are they supercharging for something, or is it a measure against more bombers?
Think of it more in terms of getting a full charge. They used a lot of energy taking out the power station and the bombers. But it's also a tool of fear. The Martians are actually quite big, to us. They are small against the Tripod. It might be that the grass in the foreground is confusing the issue. :)
It's an engineered storm to trigger an event where they can harvest the Earths power grid for energy. I was going to explain more, but there might be a fun vid that can explain it better. I'll have a think about that!
Not in the ones we've seen so far. Any variation in size that you might feel you are seeing is to do with where the camera is, it's lens/zoom etc. Though, we may see other flying machines in the future. Who can say!
This feels like it’s from the original novel, I can just imagine the main character describing the scene, showing how the Martian’s do not fully understand the world they are in but also showing how they will not back down from a threat
It makes you wonder what else they can do besides use weather to recharge their shields by changing cloud temperature on the fly. In all the out put for that must be insane vs how much they can get per bolt of lightning
I thought I had guessed it. "They are creating a thunderstorm to prevent human bombing! Ingenious way to use heat rays! Meteorological warfare!" Did not expect them to use lightning strikes as... recharges? Huh.
Serisously the war of the worlds started as a book in the 1800s and is still famous. Fun fact . The war of the worlds is the first ever alien invasion book EVER. Ps a new war of the worlds movie is comeing out.
An interesting idea. I could answer with my thoughts on it, but I rather like that you're imagining a scenario, because that's why I try to keep it loose, and leave space for the viewers own ideas. Thanks for watching Gravity :)
hmmm, this is bad, however this also looks like field improvision. i am guessing they did not have a clue that we are capable of fielding that much explosives and discussed it with each other and some clever clogs had an idea how to improve the shield without a refit. its situational, there arnt always clouds close by, and its likely that continued use will burn out the shield at the least.
The original intention behind this video (and I leave it vague as to what is happening so that the viewer can interpret it themselves), was that they are harnessing Earth power, as a further indication of how insanely advanced and different the Martians are. It also leans into the idea that they are presenting themselves as these giant godlike entities, using vast power on a planetary scale, making it their own. Loved your thoughts :) Thanks for watching and commenting megazero!
Recharge! Harnessing the power of the planet. The pulsed heatrays are creating ionised channels/filaments in the air. These channels act as lightning rods to control the localised area of the storm. The overall effect is to create a bit of a super storm over the head of the damaged Tripod, providing energy to fix damaged systems (as well as charge up the other Tripods in the area).
The Martians firing their heat rays into the clouds to form thunderstorms/lightening is a great notion. Obviously, the Martian machines re-engergise via lightning. In the 1953 film, the Martians relied upon nuclear energy as a power source for their rays and protective shielding. Many thanks, for this outstanding series of videos!
My pleasure! Harnessing the planets power made a lot of sense to me. It also kind of feeds into future plot points in subtle ways.
@@waroftheworlds1934 That's a brilliant and terrifying concept! I'm positive Mr. Wells would appreciate it! All the best in 2024.

Sorry about that! It may get a bit scarier too in future episodes. Find a suitable settee to hide behind! :D
@@waroftheworlds1934 It is masterfully done, it scares me but I love it!
It reach fame baby
Was that a Martian ufo
Sorry I’m late also this proves my theory they lose shields!
3:48 WAS THAT A FLYING MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
It makes you wonder what else they can do besides use weather to recharge their shields by changing cloud temperature on the fly. In all the out put for that must be insane vs how much they can get per bolt of lightning
The martians are like humanoids but with tentacles and stuff, good work!
Thanks, and we'll get a better look at them in the next episode!
I herd a song for 1 second so tell me what it is.

I thought I had guessed it. "They are creating a thunderstorm to prevent human bombing! Ingenious way to use heat rays! Meteorological warfare!" Did not expect them to use lightning strikes as... recharges? Huh.
I thought people forgot about tripods and war of the worlds
But this animation is amazing!
Thanks :) But what do you mean forgot? As in old news? If so, I was as surprised as you were that there is a lot of love for the story out there!
Serisously the war of the worlds started as a book in the 1800s and is still famous. Fun fact . The war of the worlds is the first ever alien invasion book EVER. Ps a new war of the worlds movie is comeing out.
Finally. Real electric energy.
I thought they were going to execute the injured tripod because it had failed.
Hehe. Too low on resources for that I guess. But an embarrassment for the Tripod pilot, who will undoubtedly over compensate in the future.
Wow :D
Martian recharge and spare parts delivered via air mail ehh?
Bro eye got blown up 💀

This made me laugh more than it should.
I am stuck thinking about if the guy filming had soldiers with him. They couldve shot the Martians and maybe even entered the tripod afterwards
An interesting idea. I could answer with my thoughts on it, but I rather like that you're imagining a scenario, because that's why I try to keep it loose, and leave space for the viewers own ideas.
Thanks for watching Gravity :)
☄️
OMG SCARY
Hear me out
hmmm, this is bad, however this also looks like field improvision. i am guessing they did not have a clue that we are capable of fielding that much explosives and discussed it with each other and some clever clogs had an idea how to improve the shield without a refit.
its situational, there arnt always clouds close by, and its likely that continued use will burn out the shield at the least.
The original intention behind this video (and I leave it vague as to what is happening so that the viewer can interpret it themselves), was that they are harnessing Earth power, as a further indication of how insanely advanced and different the Martians are. It also leans into the idea that they are presenting themselves as these giant godlike entities, using vast power on a planetary scale, making it their own.
Loved your thoughts :) Thanks for watching and commenting megazero!

Hmmmm. I wonder why the the Martians where shotibg their Heat Rays on the sky???
To trigger the storm :)

What do the L and the W stand for? :)
what the fuck are they even doing
Recharge! Harnessing the power of the planet. The pulsed heatrays are creating ionised channels/filaments in the air. These channels act as lightning rods to control the localised area of the storm. The overall effect is to create a bit of a super storm over the head of the damaged Tripod, providing energy to fix damaged systems (as well as charge up the other Tripods in the area).

@waroftheworlds1934 thanks answering my question wanted now what they doing shooting lazer in the clouds for ;]
Cool idea that they are able to harness the electrical power of thunderstorms to power their machines.
