Special Effects

I’ve got a camera.
Let’s make a movie
Let’s pretend life is not like this but as it should be
You’ve got a story that could be true
And if we lie enough they’ll all believe it’s you
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
You look so life like up on the screen
Somehow that geriatric girl looks like a teen
Real life is boring because it’s real
What has more value what you own or what you steal
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
In a delicate series of prototype sketches
Just a few of many dozens
The final result is a three foot model
Which included shock absorbers for the legs
And compressed air jets hidden in the rocket nozzles
Notice the thick steel mounting tubes to the right of the picture
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
Special effects
