Thanks for the comments folks glad you like it.

The bloke in the video is me with a dodgy hat I bought years ago and an old black waistcoat to give a Victorian look.

I simply filmed myself performing the moves and then put myself on top of some old photos I sourced, from the net, of London around the time of the 1890s. This is why I went for Black and White.

One thing I will say is that a Difference Matte is okay but not a patch on using a green screen. At times I had to use an animated mask around me to remove any indescretions.

The tripod fighting machines and the scene of the martian cylinder on the common were done in Max, animated and then exported to the file format I required which was a .mov.

The slow motion of the film is deliberate and I posterized the finished footage.

All the explosions, laser / heat rays and smoke were added using EffectsLabDV. If you click the link below you will see some screen caps of the footage in colour.
