The Time Machine

Hoping to alter the events of the past, a 19th century inventor instead travels 80,000 years into the future, where he finds humankind divided into two warring races.

Our Time Machine, which I fondly regard as a Fresnel-lens studded crown jewel of period design and imaginative technology, came to life through the dedication and creativity of a collaborative team. I'm particularly grateful to Simon Wells, the great-grandson of H.G. Wells, who set the bar high from the outset with his challenge: it had to be nothing short of amazing. A special acknowledgment is also due to Matt Sweeney FX, who was actually able to build this gem out of aluminum, acrylic glass… and lots of ingenuity.
