This was the first on the alien abduction phenomena. I think everybody knows what that’s about more or less. My first thoughts were of the title sequence for the mini series Taken where the guy gets lifted up, but I didn’t want it to be as serious as all that. I thought another way to go would be a kind of comical pose.
The Close Encounters of the Third Kind motion picture came out a little early for me, actually one year before I was born, but it’s one of my favorite films. I like everything about it, but in general I like how Steven Spielberg and the producers of the film took the subject of UFOs and alien encounters and abduction seriously. There wasn’t anything camp or tongue in cheek about it. I’m not gonna go into a whole big thing about it, but all the movies involving extra terrestrial life that are on my favorite list are almost all there for that reason.
