I want aliens on the street; I want some close-ups—aliens running and screaming after the hit. Go to the building, then to the ZX-120 that is striking it. Let’s see the missiles fired, then the building hit, crumbling, and on fire. Then let’s get the aliens, scared on the street again—real close up, I want to see the fear on their faces. The key is to get the cameras from both ships focusing on the exact same thing at the same time. The distance between the ships will provide the stereopsis—the 3D effect for TV. It will be so impressive.”

“Captain Carryman, it looks like everything is a go, we are just waiting for your signal.”
“Alright Mack; Lights! Camera! Action! Let the show begin!”
