Scott Bateman’s 5000 Space Aliens gets a trailer featuring one alien a second

Director Scott Bateman & Producer Lucas A. Ferrara have released the trailer for their new genre-bending animation, 5000 Space Aliens, which is coming to digital download worldwide from 21st November.

Imagine meeting a space alien. Now imagine meeting one space alien every second.

This is what happens in Scott Bateman’s groundbreaking animated film 5000 Space Aliens. Scott Bateman has turned found footage, vintage photo studio pictures from Venezuela and Romania, scraps from a 100-year-old psychology textbook, and more into 5000 one-second shots of animated characters.

Instead of a typical narrative, 5000 Space Aliens is more like a ride: You just let the hypnotic rhythm of images wash over you. This one-of-a-kind animated extravaganza was made by just one animator, director Scott Bateman.

Bateman also created the electronic-tinged soundtrack.

5000 Space Aliens was Medusa Underground Film Festival’s ‘Best Picture’ and has received multiple ‘official selctions’ at a raft of international festivals.
