Resistance to the Tripods - video • special effects & compositing |
 |
|
Inspired by the old BBC series The Tripods (based on the book The White Mountains). Planned to build a replica of the Tripods machine but opted more for an original design using various bits and pieces like a golf ball, old apple mac mouse and various washers - now that's cheap!. |

The Master started off as basic wire model and a little bit of weird spray paint works wonders. |

Photoshop cut outs of myself used for some quick shots. |
Actor wouldn't come back for long shots so I photographed myself from the neck down! |
