Rare footage of the 1914 Martian conflict

submitted by mintbbb

9 years 6 months 2 weeks ago

boingboing: The History Channel's created a bizarre secret history of a war against Martian invaders that's an allegory for WWI. The accompanying video has a spooky resonance and plausibility that is not to be missed.

Vimeo: Archive recreation for The Great Martian War documentary by impossible factual for History Canada.
Directed by Christian Johnson, (Plazma). and Steve Maher (impossible factual).

I find meatbag ant to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by ant.

I'm not saying it was aliens

but....

I can't believe they don't teach this in history class anymore.

So THAT'S how the Leader of the Germans developed the Bagger 288.

So, Half-Life 3 is a prequel ?

History channel, huh? Fuck them.

This is awesome and all. Great vfx, looks interesting and might be the best composition between cg and old video that I've ever seen, but still.... Fuck the History channel.
