The Directors Cut of the Alien Abduction Project

The streaming file is fairly large -- if playback stutters pause the video until the blue bar stops getting wider.

This was my first all in-studio shoot, and was the most complex preproduction process to date. We shot on 16mm and captured audio to mini-disc, so it was also the most complex post production I've worked on to date. The shoot was smooth, and mostly flawless. Everyone did a fantastic job, and we were able to wrap with a little time to spare (which never happens).

The final product turned out almost exactly as I imagined it would -- which is a first. The trick now is to start imagining grander things :-)

Starring Chris Pope, Alisha Patterson, Ben Yennie and George Weingard. Jim Hale as Director of Photography, David Garza as Assistant Director, Tim Hardy was our Gaffer.

If Necessity is the mother of Invention, then Laziness is his deadbeat father. And Greed is his gold-digging wife.
