ALIEN INVASION TAKE TWO

A while back I started working with photographer Cade Martin on a collaboration where he was looking for a spaceship to go with his beautiful retro woman from Mars (she must be from the French part of Mars), anyways it was fun and the image is somewhere in the portfolio section. This one here is a take that wasnt quite the final that Cade liked, but I thought I share. I modelled the breathing tube in Cinema, using a succession of - appropriately enough I think - oil tank shapes along a spline, or a bunch of splines really since I wasnt sure how far the spaceship is into the distance. Then played with it in the new Hypershot until I had something that felt like the right angle and feel.
