Did a lot of work on the alien. I paid someone to make it. The mask was very static and not latex or stretchy. To bring some life to it, I ran it through photoshop and added slime (Plasticwrap filter), blinking eyes and warped his cheeks. This had to be done one frame at a time, so a 4 second shot (120 frames) would take me two or three days to do.
My main focus was the story. I wanted something with a quick pace, interesting characters and a couple of twists.
I have After Effects and I used it extensively on this movie - for example, the liquify filters and for matting explosions, gunshots, blood, etc.. AFX does not have the Plastic Wrap slime effect, like Photoshop. There are quite a few things you can do in Photoshop that you can't in AFX.
My wife and I produced it. I'm a banquet server and this is what I make during my vacation time. Considering that our budget is cheaper than BLAIR WITCH, I'm pretty happy with all the action that is in it.
The alien looks pretty cool. You should focus on that thing.

I'm sure you know this but after effects would have made your matte work much easier. :)
If you didn't want to buy it you could have downloaded the trial.
