Blu-ray Authoring Aliens Expanded Documentary feature

We have been working again with Creator VC on their documentary feature film Aliens Expanded to turn it into a Blu-ray for release to their backers. This expansive documentary by Director Ian Nathan, is all about the second Alien film (Aliens 1986) in the movie franchise Aliens and features many of the original cast and crew including Writer and Director James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Gale Anne Hurd, Lance Henriksen and Carrie Henn (who played Newt in the movie).

It's a fascinating documentary which features tons of clips from the Aliens film and stories of the pre-production and post-production process. Watch the trailer linked above or on YouTube directly on this link: https://youtu.be/uonZ26RDQDo

Aliens Expanded features Director James Cameron

Mark designed motion menus for the Blu-ray and encoded the nearly four hours of documentary content plus additional extra features, and then spent a lot of time reworking subtitles to place them around on-screen titles for English and Spanish subtitles. There were a lot of chapter points to link to based on a couple of different ways to navigate the Blu-ray. We previously worked on the Blu-ray for FPS - First Person Shooter documentary about gaming by CreatorVC.

We will be working with Creator VC on future long-form documentary Blu-ray projects in the coming months, including In Search of Darkness 1990-94.
