Michael Haberfelner — a writer, screen writer, film producer from Vienna — writes about movies for his website (re)Search My Trash.▫️
Mike recently interviewed me and Scott Bateman, the creative force behind the newly released feature film, 5000 SPACE ALIENS. And here are just a few of his questions:
▫️
“Your new movie … in a few words, what is it about?”
▫️
“Scott: Well, 5000 Space Aliens is a bonkers rollercoaster ride of a movie! There’s no narrative or dialogue. You’ll meet 5000 animated space aliens in 5000 one-second shots, which is about 83 minutes. I created all the animation myself in several different styles over a 2 1/2-year period, partially during lockdown. I also created the film’s groovy instrumental soundtrack. It’s a fun trip of a movie!
Lucas: If you ask me, this film takes audiences on an unprecedented journey – challenging them intellectually and emotionally via a new and unusual animation medium. It offers a … sensorial experience which no two viewers experience in the same way …. I guess you could say, it’s a genre onto itself.”
▫️
“What was the collaboration between the two of you on 5000 Space Aliens actually like?”
▫️
“Lucas: …. Because the pandemic was in full swing at the time, we had little choice but to stay as far apart from each other as possible ….
…. Scott single-handedly directed, animated, and scored this entire feature film. It was all him. How many filmmakers can claim that? So, when I came to appreciate the uniqueness of the endeavor, I thought it was best that I not meddle …. [It’s] truly an amazing work. I am incredibly proud of it.”
