Overview
'Intelligent Life' follows Cybil and Hammond in their pursuit for the extra-terrestrial. This science-fiction comedy is Paddy & friends' third film production, as well as being their graduation film for the Film Practice Course at London College of Communication. One of the most competitive film courses in the UK.

SYNOPSIS

The existence of extra-terrestrial life is something society has pondered for generations. Surely it exists? Surely there are some little green fellows just bobbing about on Saturn’s rings just waiting to be discovered? Well, that’s all that’s been on the minds of siblings Cybil and Hammond Hayward since they first looked up into the starry night sky as wide-eyed toddlers. Their boundless curiosity and reckless determination led the two of them to create the company ‘Intelligent Life’; an extra-terrestrial investigators company. Although, when you live in a small Somerset town and run said company out of your Mum’s garage, it’s not as exciting nor as fruitful as you might hope. After constant tiny cases for the mostly batty locals, that lead completely nowhere, Hammond decides their dream may not have been the smartest career path. Much to the disappointment of his blindly optimistic sister; Cybil. However, after Cybil receives a strange, possibly other worldly call warning her of an imminent arrival, she manages to force her reluctant brother to accompany her on one final case. All in the hope that they can prove the naysayers wrong and finally be taken seriously.

 

OUR VISION AND CHALLENGES

This story is to be set in present day, since we believe the ridiculousness of the siblings dream is better passed in the same social context we observe. We will be filming most scenes in the town where this story was first imagined – East Lambrook, Somerset.

Taking our full crew as well as camera kit from London to the main location is one of the biggest challenges we have to face monetarily and is where the largest portion of our budget is going to go.

Making the world of Intelligent Life a reality will also be quite pricey – from refurbishing a garage into a clumsily made office to general costume design or the necessary alien-seeking gadgets, the production design of the film is going to be another big challenge to face. And then there’s the alien.

A huge visual challenge, the films grotesque alien creature will come to life using only practical effects such as latex and prosthetics. We currently have a make-up and prosthetics artist on board, focusing solemnly in the creation of our friend (or foe) from another world. We need to make sure to get all possible resources to make it a not only credible organism but an artistically fulfilling one.

The graph above presents the estimated budget per department, as well as some specific fields such as transport and make-up. This estimate was calculated after some intensive research in relation to the teams’ aims and hopes for the film.
