The one exciting moment everyone looks forward to in a period production of War of the Worlds is the Invasion of London. And why not, it was the major capital of the world, the economic heart and grand in scale. Even way back then the sheer size of the city was overwhelming, and envision it in flames, the massive population in panic brings epic nightmares to people even now. The Invasion of London is especially poinient when you look at the images of London during the blitz. London in flames is an image that last with every English Student from their early childhoods, with that famous song on the great fire of 1666 to the blitz. The Martian invasion of the City is no small endeavor and certainly not one to play lightly with.
In order to pull it off I am making a scale model of the city as it was during 1901, of course the detail is dependent on the shots used and that in itself takes planning. There is no point in paint every brick in a building if the shot is darkly lit by flames and heave shadow, but detail is extremely important when you consider you are dealing with destruction on a such a massive scale as this. Anyway, it's a new challenge, and once again a learning experience, which in the long haul will prove only to be more beneficial as the project develops.
