I must say it is quite a remarkable little film. Very impressive. I can't quite decide if it is a low budget professional film, or a high budget amateur film. Either way, it is clear that it was a work of passion. The attention to detail was impressive. The filmmaker knew his trade. Interweaving the models with the full size was done very well. Editing was superb. Camera work and effects were well done. I can only imagine what it could have been if it had the proper backing.
Oh, and the score was good, too. Actually, it was superb. The sign of a good score is one that becomes another character of the story, and they did that very well. It was just the right amount of understatement, clearly it was meant purposely not draw attention to itself. Bravo.
Bringing this old film to the attention of the public was a work unto itself, and well worth the effort. This is something to be truly proud of.
Clearly, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" got its inspiration from Mr. Lyford.
