Okay...so for this scene we had to create the effect of aliens landing and abducting the main character's dad...William Bullard. I wrote this to show the imaginative mind of the main character, and it comes at a point in the story when...well...anyway, you'll see it.
My pops worked the effects...creating smoke from some pine straw I raked up. Creating the alien was fun. My homegirl came through and did the make up on my lil cuz. Using some of the makeup from my previous years' Halloween costume as Avatar, I made a few alterations and we pulled ourselves together an alien!
That whole costume was pretty inexpensive to pull off, but it gives me the classic old skool alien from the 50's...at least this is what I imagine...kind of fused with some new modern age retro style. LOL
The neighbor's to the family house in Hope Mills saw the lights posted up outside late that night, with little patches of fire smoldering in the road way. It was just a matter of time, but yes...the police were called on us! Well, it was more like the Sheriff...lol. Nonetheless we were informed we couldn't make fires in the road (who knew?) Minutes later, the back up came by...just to "check things out." LOL...By that time we were finished with shooting all the scenes we needed, and had enough footage for the shot.
Working with everyone was cool, and even though we had differing opinions for a bit on how best to shoot the scenes it was all directed at the same cause. Enjoy the photos!
