My roommate swears hes seen Mike Minnet in other films and/or on TV. Has he?
No … Mike works as a compositor at a local newspaper. “In Bad Taste, at the beginning, there is a spectacular travelling (when the first alien is running after the guy with an axe near a beach) that starts from the ground than flies away to stop over a small wood cabin. Did you use professional equipement to do that or was it homemade” The shot you refer to was done in two parts: Hand held up to the back of the alien’s head. Then we cut to a crane shot that started on the alien’s head. The cut is reasonably well disguised. The crane was a simple home made one.
