The War of the Worlds - Background design and animator required

[FrankT]

Project:
Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds

Details:
An adventure based upon the concept album.

Positions Available:
First: I need someone who can assist with the background design; it's just not one of my fortes. What I need is someone who is knowledgeable about London and the Home Counties in 1898, and possibly be able to draw the whole city from a birds-eye perspective as well. This might arguably require multiple artists, but we'll see. As for the Mars backgrounds - leave those to me!
Second: I've tried multiple times to animate the Martian Fighting Machine's walk-cycle, but all of them have gone badly wrong, so I'm going to need someone to help me animate the machines. All of them, if that's possible. Come to think of it... I vaguely remember someone suggesting to me that the machines could be rendered from 3D, with most everything else painted or something. I'll check.
Since we're shooting for a standard 320x240 resolution, only those who work better with low-res sprites need apply. I may end up calling on others for the characters too, but we'll see what happens.

Deadline:
To be blunt, I want to work on this as quickly as possible, so I don't end up lazing out on it like I did before!

Um, you forgot to change the "project" and "details" fields from the template...

Oh God, sorry. X_X

I guess this means no-one is going to take me seriously now.
