I created a stage by layering images together. My base images were pictures found on the internet. My spaceship interior is in fact a university library. I changed it to black and white and created more shadows. I then pasted in some lanterns and created a colored glow in PhotoShop. I drew the aliens with a sharpie and colored them in the computer. I imported everything into Director to animate it and then dumped it all to Final Cut Pro to add a soundtrack.
