DaveK commented, " There is a "B" movie version of "War of the Worlds" on DVD and I believe they used poser, at least for the first attack by the Martians. The Skeletons didn't have individual teeth just like the poser skeleton." Is it a "period" setting at the turn of the century? If so, this might be the Pendragon Pictures release for which I originally had high hopes. If it had to scale back that severely with the cinema "illusions", then it's no wonder they chose to go directly to video. A shame, really, as this could have been the "definitive" adaptation, adhereing most closely with the novel. And now for something completely different, if science fiction is not your interest, the tripod can still be of use. With a few well positioned cylinders and a tweek of the material settings, you can have a Dutch Modern floor lamp! ;-) Sincerely, Bill 13... 14... 15...
