Here are just some useless stories about the production
of The Alien Invasion:
- The film is Richmanclub Studios' official
first film after becoming a fully registered private limited company,
and gained a nomination in the prestigious "Chinese Oscars",
the Golden Horse Awards, in the International Digital Shorts category.
Rich is the only Asian nominee outside of Taiwan, and first Singaporean
to be nominated in this category.
- Rich nearly deleted the Golden Horse official notification email
of his nomination after reading the title, "Congratulations!
You have..." because he thought it was a spam. He doesn't
buy medicine (that only online people "know" you need)
and has never inherited a large sum of money (from an unknown
"related" tycoon a Middle Eastern or African country),
but luckily, sometimes Rich does read his junk mail just to feel
important.
-The film was a commissioning for Singapore
Management University's first Commencement Ceremony. Refusing
to do corporate stuff, the studio submitted the proposal of a
short film to present the University, instead of their original
concept of a corporate video. It was nice of them to decide to
take the risk with us.
- The title of the film,” The Alien Invasion", was
a tentative working title that became the official title after
it became a constant reference to the film.
- The script was modified almost before every shoot due to the
huge challenges of scheduling and location from working with the
immense cast.
- Due to the limited budget, all the crew and cast were working
on a voluntary basis. The tight production schedule meant that
Rich only had less than 20 days to edit, create all the visual
effects, and music by himself. A further 1 month was spent to
create a final director's cut.
- As a trademark of Rich's films, all the crew members made appearances
in the film.
- The 3 actors who played chicken rice
stall hawkers, were the top 3 students of the graduating year.
- The entire film's dialogues were in Singlish
(English spoken in the Singaporean way).
- In order to create the "amateurish"
and "over-the-top" look of the "B-grade" alien
invasion flicks in the 1970s, all the shots were filmed with a
handheld camera with varying, shifting focuses. and extra film
grain was added for the "cheap 16mm film" effect. This
proved to be a challenge in post-production as almost all the
effects shots had to be matched with the shaky footages.
- The movie had a tough effects choice.
Whether to go for realistic action packed effects(Picture A),
or the slightly more fun game cinematic effects(Picture B).
In the end, to match the over-the-top comedic feel of the movie,
risking misunderstanding from "serious" audiences, the
more exaggerated effects were used:
 |
 |
| Picture
A: Realistic Action Effects |

B: Exaggerated Game Cinematics Effects |
- There is a "hidden" fun shot in the movie for "spot
the mistake". CLUE: Watch the scene where the tanks are featured.
