Landing the USCSS Nostromo Short Subject Media Lab Experiment - Multimedia ALIEN (1979) Homage/Parody

 


Project originated in November of 2021 "reviewing" a Galoob Micro Machines diecast miniature of the USCSS Nostromo from Ridley Scott's ALIEN (1979). Without even meaning to I made a primitive stop motion photography montage of still images using some cotton wadding from an aspirin bottle to replicate exhaust/dust as the ship settles onto the planetoid. Backdrop painting and terrain are both all acrylics on wood from 2020, the painting especially seen in several other images & video segments. Below is the current edit running 2 minutes with booming stereo sound.

What I've done here is to edit the Soft Landing sequence from this upload from November 2021 with a 3.75" designer action figure of Mr. Ash from Science Division. The new edit significantly enhances transitions, adjust the color to heighten image contrast and remixed audio.

Here's the Nostromo review video with original edit of the landing:



Galoob Micro Machines' exquisite diecast Derelict miniature. Go find one! so glad I did.
