Hi, After watching the trailers all week, I decided to see if I could come up with a film depicting the tripods being tested on their planet (that looks like mars). I've not finished it yet, but I thought you might want to see it. Aliens testing their Tripods...it's not supposed to be serious... 600K version www.richardbarnard.net/600k.movSame Film 2.2Mb www.richardbarnard.net/2mg.movEnjoy! I can put a higher res one on if anyone cares. I was just bored and knocked it up in an evening. R |

Thats awesome!!! But I reckon after the tripod falls over, you should have a martian get out and kick (or whiplash with a tentacle) the side while cursing at it.........................

I like that idea (although tenticles might be hard to animate). I have an idea for a Thunderchild version too. Any other suggestions now I made the model?

Thanks Zoe. I've got an idea for a longer trailer including the martians and a voice-over from the start of the book and plenty of oolah'ing. I'll post it on Monday and include a higher res version.
I'm glad folks liked it, I was worried you might think it sucked...

That was priceless. You must do a higher res version of that! |

PS. Is it clear that the tripod is being knocked over because it's gun is too powerful? If not, I'll change that.

Hehe.. that's pretty cool. Would love to see some drag-race action tripod style too... kind of like that scene in grease... but you know, with more legs?

LOL....It's a shame legs are the hardest thing to animate. I could try do some triPOD racing Star Wars style...

What program are you using? Not that I know how to do any form of animation anyway, I was just curious  and where did you get your inspiration for the tripod design? |

I got the tripod design from the trailers....or at least what I thought I was seeing.

Ah, fair enough  it looks great anyway. I reckon you should start a WoTW pre-quel... in the form of a lovely comedic mini-series I know I would watch |

Thanks for your kind messages! I'll make a short cartoon then, with some updates. I hope it will provide a few laughs as we wait for the film!

OK, I've figured out how to do comic martian tripods running, so there will be a new (short) high res version this monday including over five seconds of never before seen footage.
