🚨 New Video Drop! 🚨
We set out to make an Alien fan film with NO budget, NO crew, and just the gear we had on hand—an iPhone 16 Pro, a pop-up green screen, a 3D-printed prop, and Jimmy G’s custom Weyland-Yutani SG shotgun.

In this behind-the-scenes breakdown, I walk you through the entire process—from previs in Blender to practical effects, DIY lighting hacks, and post-production VFX. You’ll see how we pulled off shots with the Xenomorph, created realistic props like the motion tracker, and made it all work on a shoestring budget.

🎥 Watch the full BTS now on YouTube.

Spoke today at CTN Studio’s “Coffee Talk” about my book Shooting for VFX: Your On-Set Guide to Saving Money in Post-Production. 🎬💥

Huge thanks to my gracious host, Tina Price, for the warm welcome and inspiring space. We had a passionate, engaged group—and a fantastic conversation about how early planning in pre-production can save thousands in VFX, and what it’s really like working at the indie level versus the studio system.

Always grateful for opportunities to share, learn, and connect with fellow creatives. 🙌
