final major project! (surge)

so here it is, it has finally come the final major project of my stop motion animation course at staffs university.
for my final production i have choose to do my own presentation of H.G.WELLS War of the worlds which i am calling SURGE. I have been a massive vivid fan of war of the worlds since i was about four years old so finally after all this time i get to direct my own image of this classic book.
because of the book is such a classic and perfect with out any alterations, i really want to stay away from bringing it up to date like the 2005 film by Spielberg.
Another reason for this production is in my second year of uni i created a set based of Jeff Waynes war of the worlds with amazing results, so i have decided my final film really needs to show off my set building skills.

so over Christmas i had a long think about how am i going to make this animation work because war of the worlds is a massive thing, how am i going to squeeze it into a 3-5 min animation...

                                                                               A TRAILER

yes a trailer based animation! which can just consist of rapid short shots and i  think  with a narration to help, it really could work.
