The Eve of the War

When I started this project, the probe was going to Venus and it was going to be commandeered by a Lovecraftian alien trapped on earth to allow him to affect some ancient machinery on Venus allowing him to return home.  Then I changed my mind after watching Curiosity land and listening to the Jeff Wayne's musical War of the Worlds, I decided it would be an episodic found footage thing... anyway I built a bit of mars and an alien puppet both of which were big enough to be irritating and in the way but weren't big enough to shoot really convincing scenes with and so I kind of lost interest.

Here is the footage I had slapped together with some rockin FrontLine Assembly for tunes.
I'm generally pretty good at finishing things, but this one... I just lost the passion...

Frontline Assembly

The State is from the Initial Command album.

Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds

This was huge when I was a kid, and the artwork on the LP Slipcases is amazing still.
