Three Disks? Maybe even Four

Let me make no beef about it, The War of the Worlds is BIG project. I mean really big! You may think it's a long walk down to the corner shop, but that's just PEANUTS to this project, listen...

Okay Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy references aside, let me remind you that The War of the Worlds is a big project. But that in no way means your going to miss out on any of it. I have slated 3 disks for this project orginally, but the project has taken on such a life of it's own it's likely to take up 4 disks, and maybe even an extra CD for the soundtrack. So what will you get in these disks? Well bear in mind this is just the early planning stages, but here is a rough guide to what you will be paying for.

  • Disk 1: "The War of the Worlds" The main movie, logging in a perhaps 2 hours long in two parts and with as many extras and Easter eggs as I can cram into one disk.
  • Disk 2: "The Crystal Egg" The short 30 minute prequel to the the "War of the Worlds" including story boards and extras
  • Disk 3: "The Making of The War of the Worlds and Behind the Scenes" This disk will cover the entire process behind the project as well as tutorials as to how the project was achieved, with special effects, texturing, modeling and animation techniques. It will also include an interview with the creator and hopefully the Blend Institute and the Soundtrack composer
  • Disk 4: "Extras and files" From here you can access all the files used to create The War of the Worlds, including models, textures, animation files, as well as the Open Source Software used to create the film, including Blender 2.5 and GimpShop
  • CD Soundtrack: The Official Soundtrack to the War of The Worlds

As you can see a lot of treats in store and we've only just begun, so watch this space for more information on the upcoming release.
