Martian Invasion of Surrey Ch 4: The Destruction of Weybridge & Shepperton

- The narrator is in Weybridge ahead of the Martian advance, and witnesses the destruction and mayhem when 5 tripods arrive. This is Chapter 4 of my ongoing project to animate H G Wells' "The War of the Worlds" drawing on the illustrations of Henrique Alvim Correa and using old maps and photographs to accurately portray the locations used in the novel.
As a lifelong HG Wells fan, I think you've done better than the BBC on this one. Great work, can't wait for more.
Ohiofffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Absolutely superb! You’ve done what the BBC with all its millions couldn’t do!
You are too kind - glad you enjoyed it.

Oh lord, yes, that dreadful version that shunted it to the Edwardian period for no reason whatever and then beat everyone around the head repeatedly with the woke-bat by droning on endlessly about colonialism (no, make that _British_ colonialism, the only really bad kind) and screwing with the ending by having the Red Weed take over (whereas in fact it dies early on with a canker, thus foreshadowing the fate of the Martians themselves).
@@richardgregory3684 yep. No amount is of glitter could disguise that turd. It was awful.
Wait can somebody please explain what BBC did? Did they pretended there was a Martian invasion or something?
*_Only just realized that you have other chapters shared on your UA-cam channel. Am going to watch the rest of them_*
Ultra-Professional work. Great to see you have stayed loyal to the original designs and concepts found in the early years. Yours being different, yet very realistic and quite scary, seeing those heat rays at work. Hope you expand this and are able to share it. 10/10
Excellent work! Bravo! I hope you'll continue this series. 👍
This is just fantastic! I am a massive war of the worlds fan and i have just purchased a model of the Correa tripod and was looking through UA-cam for inspiration to make a diarama and found these videos!! Perfect, please keep them coming 🙂
YES you've returned!!!!!
Incredible job, bro!
Can't wait for the next chapter!
Thebestrendition of the book I have ever seen, and I want to know why it's so hard to find out any information about this animation
Thanks for your kind comment. There is no information about this animation because it is just me making it as a hobby and a life long fan of the book. I might do a "making of" video later, if I live long enough (I'm 73 and only half way through the book!!!!!)
Excellent work!
The video:scary
That music at background:fun :D
I love this series, the Correa tripods are really underrated.
We need people to know about this
I know right
Hello gm :)
I like to call them “water towers with googlie eyes”
Wait what is a "Correa" tripod?
YAAAY HE POSTED!!!
Well done sir! Fantastic! Absolutely phenomenal!

Wow, maybe War Of the Worlds is where 'Wow' came from, but
this production brings back most of the places I went to as a kid, and I have always admired H.G.Wells works, and the fact that he wrote this story while staying at The Maybury Inn for some months.
I would go to the Saturday morning children's film program at the Odeon, which would cost us a silver thruppence to get in.
On the way from Byfleet on the 426 or 437 bus, I would pass the Maybury Inn, and go down under the train track bridge, turn left on Oriental Road, which is probably not called that any more, I am guessing.
I would get on my bike or walk to Pyrford, Wisley, Oxshott, Wisley Lake, Cobham, Addlestone, and Weybridge, along the Wey Navigation canal, and other nearby towns, from Byfleet, and had so much fun in those days.
I remember most of the buildings in the 4 chapters so far, and they bring back very pleasant memories to me, I am now living in Idaho U.S.A. where the weather is similar to Byfleet, but so glad I was born in Woking, and grew up in Byfleet. I was so lucky, and thank God for everything.
Adrian Robinson. This film maker is a Genius, in my mind.
I am so glad that you are enjoying my project. I live near to Woking and have known the area for nearly 40 years. The Wey navigation and the Basingstoke canal are favourite places. Oriental Road is still there, as is the little church which I blew up in Chapter 1. Woking is changing dramatically at present, the town centre a mass of sky-scrapers. About time the Martians came back......!
The Martian World War.
credits to the cameraman for time traveling
Of all of the WoW movies that I have ever seen, this is the closest to perfection in its production as well as being closest to the both the word and spirit of the book. Bravo! Magnificent!
I do like the album though, Jeff Wayne has been promising us a film for the last 30 years lol
YO REMAKED TRIPODS!! COOL
But wasnt the tripod middle leg infront and the two legs back?
In some of the illustrations that is so; but others show the legs as I have depicted them. I guess the Tripods could just swivel their heads around and travel in the opposite direction.
@@kevinmccullen1 but is there gonna be black cannons and a thunder child?
@@Loge_Fend I sincerely hope so. The next chapter will introduce the narrator's brother in London, who is the one who eventually witnesses the encounter with the Thunderchild.
@@kevinmccullen1 is your 9 year old video related or the same as the Martian Surrey?
I’m pretty sure the hood can rotate? That’s what I remember from the book.
As always a work of art!
Amazing. All this destruction simulations would have been a nightmare to render.
Keenly awaiting the next chapter 👍
Hello there!
@@pkmovies92 Hello there fine sir. A pleasure to cross paths again.
@@pkmovies92 general kenobi you are a bold one.
The wait was worth it
I watched all four episodes in a row and I can't wait for you to finish the story and gather them all in one video. I'm amused how much the retro-charm of the Correa tripods have really grown on me. When I first saw them in illustrations I was amused he basically wanted to give the tripods eyes and a hat.
Trabalho fantástico, eu terminei de ler o livro há 2 dias atrás, e acho curioso como os Tripods ilustrados por Corrêa parecem chapéus gigantes.
Hey mano, acabei conhecendo o trabalho de Correa pelo youtube e acabei comprando o livro por causa disso, muito top os designs
could use more polish but for a one person maybe slightly more person job turning a book into a movie with no other help and a shoe string budjet. honestly this is great. maybe you guy's should make your own film in this style. id pay to see it.
Im glad there's Finally something accurate to the source material
Absolutely Magnificant
the scene with the machine swaying around and still walking after its head has been taken off is real eerie looking, love it all
This! This is exactly how Wells described it. The animation is wonderful, and it exactly matches Henrique Alvim Correa's illustrations from the 1906 French version.
I have waited for a production exactly like this since I first read The War of the Worlds in junior high school in 1968. Thank you so much! May you find success in all your endeavors!
Right! These Martians do look like the illustrations in the old books.
@@jarniwoop Yes, and I love the "Chinese" hats. Cheers.

It's the tripod!
now tripod's heat ray destroy house!
I hope you adapt the whole book. The Thunderchild battle would be epic.
THAT'S what I'm looking for. This guy's take on it will be spectacular I bet.
Part 4 is here my fellow Martians.
The legend graced us yet again
I believe that this is the first time that I have seen this done right.
Five gold stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
For the first minutes I believed that it was an early 1910s movie. Before I took a longer look at the actors. Just an excellent CAD visualization. This is art!
Its funny how some people are running for their life at like 0.1 mph while others are just walking
There not scared of me?
@@Thundertoadeagle123 i think they are but they're legs are broken
WoW this is much better than the BBC's one.
House prices in Weybridge go up! Less properties now available! Estate agents thank the Martians.
If you think about it the last scene makes it look like the tripods really do care about eachother and thats the reason why the even started attacking
GIVE US THE NAMES OF THESE SONGS (I ALREADY KNOW FUN I A BOTTLE
BUT I WANT THIS ONE: 2:35)
"ACK. Ack ack ack. Ack ack. Aaaack ack ack. Ack ACK."
---Old Martian Proverb
no it's alooo
I'm one who is very, very fond of the novel and mostly pretty unimpressed with the various screen adaptations. So, for me, this is quite a great find! You've done a nice job here.
So it's time for me to go back to chapter one and work up to this point.
I have no doubt I'll enjoy it.
Just watched this in a completely spaced out state for reasons I won't go into, and I'm not lying when I say it blew my mind! Intensely awesome work of creativity!
Bro the visual effects are so amazing, seem so real. Ultra nice work!
4:13 what's that song name?
Hell ya
Also Can You Make Video About The Great Martian War 1913 - 1917
After Done Making Videos About The Martian Invasion Of Surrey
And Can You Do That Pls After The Martian Invasion Of Surrey Finished?
YES it's FINALLY HERE
Pls don’t make us wait so long, everyday for the past 7 months I’ve checked this Chanel waiting for this
Thank you for your interest and kind comments. Unfortunately, this type of animation takes a long time to do and there is only me!!!!
@@kevinmccullen1 I understand, it wasn’t even me who typed this tbh it was my little cousin who I watch these with and he does check your Chanel everyday waiting for new vids anyways, these are amazing especially that you’re doing this type of stuff on your own and thank you for taking time to reply to my/my little cousins comment.
@@kevinmccullen1 I wanna say how much i love these videos and the amount if effort and dedication you put in, I can’t wait to see more from your talented self
I want to see the flying machine
the music doesn't fit at all, beautiful
That tripod is my favourite
Ooh, some seriously nicely done composites (loved the train and station) and it's great you've chosen the older, illustrated Fighting Machines too! Off to start from the beginning ;)
Although they look like the drawings that the journalist refers to as looking to mechanical and not organic in the popular pamphlet after the war
@@badgers1975 Well there was always the concept of Martians never developing the wheel so the joints would have to be very much like a biological one (ball and socket etc with cartilage to reduce friction etc). My design follows this and the rest of the description from the books
As a 'local,' I am happy to report that the monument on Monument Green in Weybridge was later restored and still stands today. I was looking at it the other day whilst having a free coffee in Waitrose.
Fun fact: The author E. M. Forster once lived for a while in a house on Monument Green and Weybridge Station hasn't changed much since the arrival of the Martians!!
I would have thought that that must have been a municipal priority after the end of the invasion. Civic pride and all that.
Exactly as i pictured the carnage in my minds eye, when i first read the book as a young boy, over fifty years ago.
I am waiting for the battle in the ocean
Do you mean fighting machine vs thunderchild
Man this looks so realistic
Always great to see more of this project! It's really refreshing to see a fan adaptation that does its own thing instead of just copying one of the films or following the book word for word.
The thing is, it’s following the book 99% of the time
@@levthemapperxd Hard disagree on that. While it is very close to the novel, there is a distinct shift in which scenes are given priority and how things are ordered. "Doing its own thing" goes deeper than the plot beats. There are creative choices here that are separate from the source material, which is what I was getting at with this comment (trying to, at least).
Very good achievement. It's great that you take the original concept of tripods and illustrations from the book 👍
Absolutely brilliant,well done and true to the original story. Much better than the films so far.can’t wait for the next instalment,and thank you.
Well done friend- please do continue!
What is the music from 9:48
This is incredibly well animated. Nicely done!
4:18 Mission Successful! You hit Puberty.

Am I bad to laugh at some of the bodies flying? It's great! Gruesome and darkly hilarious at the same time. Gruelarious!
Agree!!

Sim yes
Fantastic work as always. Love the detail and the way the people turn into skeletons when hit by the heat ray. 👍👋👋
I sincerely hope you continue making more for this series! It's splendid!
the martians look so silly and cute lol
A brilliant piece of work. 👍

Outstanding
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for such a faithfully told, yet mesmerising series. HGW would have been very proud of such a respectful production.
Pure brilliance.
These animations are so yummy
That's my favorite
They are marked by Flesh

Hit! Score one for the humans! This episode is incredible! You are doing such an awesome job! Thank you!
All of these are EXCELLENT!! BRAVO!! When is the next chapter?
Utterly Fantastical. I love what you have done and am eagerly awaiting the next instalment!
Very well done, excellent work.
So happy to see it out
Absolutely incredible
i love these tripods
yes
4:16 "Bloooom"! Muy buena esa parte, me encanta esta adaptación!!!! Es genial!!!
Very well done indeed.
At the beginning of the clip, I almost believed it was the real footage until I started thinking about how strange people walk, so I looked a bit closer, and then I realized that the people depicted in the footage aren't real people; they're Sims.
I've been so looking forward to this episode. Another master piece as usual. Shame the episodes are months apart but well worth the wait haha
A quick tip for smoke, and everything
Reduce the clarity to show the aging, like make the smoke an amorphous object.
Thanks for the interest in my project. Smoke is very difficult and most of it is by means of overlays, not made in Lightwave itself. I have not :aged" the film as much as technically I should. It became very distracting and detracted from the detail which I wanted to show.
This is brilliant, blows the BBC effort away.
6:50 I see what you did there, nice!
Although I think that image illustration is supposed to depict the Thunderchild sequence or close to it, because the steamer’s decks are described in the book as “dangerously crowded” which is true of the steamer in the original image.
But I’ve just found this little series of yours. I second what others have said in depicting faithfully the events of the story in a way the BBC miniseries couldn’t. I might be in a minority actually when I say I don’t mind the BBC series too much, I like it ok as an alien invasion story, just not deserving of the title “authentic adaptation of The War of the Worlds”.
Hi, thanks for your interest. In the original French version of WOTW, that illustration accompanies the text relating to the felling of the tripod, and his two comrades standing beside him. The text reads: "... the Heat-Ray went to and fro over Weybridge...". The steamer in the picture (and my animation) is very like those found on the Thames in London in Victorian times. I expect those same steamers ventured down the Thames into the estuary and out into the sea off Kent and Essex. They probably didn't go upstream as far as Weybridge, though. A bit of "artistic license" I think!
HELP 6:43
Love it!
