Eve of the War - War of the Worlds




OK, as promised, here is the first part of the 'War of the Worlds' project. Above is the complete first track 'Eve of the War' of the Jeff Wayne's music epic in all its glory...

And now, so explanation is in order.

This video was filmed over ten years ago during a booze filled afternoon, using images cut from old Radio Times, Melody Makers, Select Magazines and various other crack available at the time. The original includes all twelve tracks a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes, all filmed in one take. It has recently been given a second life after the tape was found, lost again, buried in another friends house, then found once more, transferred to a digitised format via DVD and finally ripped onto my computer. Mr Morningstarr* has been pecking at me to get it on the Internet for some time (almost two years!!), but I'm not so sure that in it's 'raw' format it is any good. So it has been sitting on my hard disc, waiting to be refreshed.

Since then, I have done very little with it. There have been a number of options: re-film some elements, add special effects, re-edit. But all of these options will detract from the original flow of the video. I've decided to open this up to public opinion, and get some feedback...

So, what do you think? Do you want to see more?
