This is the spaceship bathroom. It is made from an old horse trough, metal scrap and Styrofoam. The CD holders, vents and the inside of a washing machine I pulled from the alley behind my studio. Every thing else was from random trash nights.

This is the kitchen console. I made it from G5 boxes, bulk bins from the CO-OP, a humidifier & old hospital trays from the dumpster and salad bar sneeze guards from the BBQ Inn warehouse.

Here is a close up of the vinyl lettering that we used to finish off the spaceship. It was designed by Craig and came in handy when we needed a little bit more detail in a shot.

This is a guitar composition performed by composer John Brinker. It never made it into the film but it is a nice example of the work he was cranking out while collaborating with us.

This is a kitchen cabinet made from the shelves of a beverage cooler, two fish tanks given to me by a friend and random “spacey” objects I found hitting trash nights.
