Shooting Star Film Productions Ltd is proud to present a short sequence / Trailer adapted from H.G. Wells 1898 novel The War of the Worlds and inspired by Steven Spielberg's 2005 War of the Worlds.

We have always been huge fans of science fiction and especially H.G. Wells, whose books are extraordinary in every way; but in particular The War of the Worlds which we are sure you will agree has to be one of the most famous science fiction stories ever written. This sequence was primarily made for fun and was a welcome break from our other productions. We have produced two versions of this sequence, one in colour & the other in black and white.

We have included numerous hat-tips to some of our favourite movies and TV shows within the sequence. Some are more obvious than others... can you spot them?

We hope you enjoyed the sequence and please feel free to comment below.

Here are some technical notes on the making of this sequence:

The inside shot was filmed on a Panasonic GH2 hacked; with one of driftwood's lower bit-rate patches (I forget which one) and a Voigtlander 25mm.

The design of the room was inspired by the David Fincher and Leonardo DiCaprio Red One low light Mysterium-X sensor test.

I modelled and textured everything except for the cars and Tripod, the Tripod was free from www.TurboSquid.com there is a link at the end of the description. Everything was modelled and animated with 3D studio max with a few bits done inside of Zbrush, this was all rendered with Mental Ray and shaded with the Arch&Design shaders, also the distant hills were done with e-on`s Vue.

All the compositing was done with discreet combustion (I know really really old! But it still works great) and all the camera tracking was done with Boujou.

A big thank you to Kevin MacLeod, www.incompetech.com here are the tracks I used:
" Awkward Meeting, Decay, Digital Bark,Gathering Darkness, Long Note Two, The House of Leaves, Very Low Note, Heart of the Beast, The Dread"
