Kaleidoscope Man - Epic Locations

A large part of Kaleidoscope Man is set on an Alien planet. In the script this is a hot, volcanic place, with a dramatic sea shore and spectacular vistas stretching as far as the eye can see...


Our four main characters must traverse this bleak and inhospitable landscape where the wreckage of a crashed spaceship sticks out of the ocean like a mountain.

As they head towards the wreckage they are pummeled by meteors that cannon into the ground around them and they are attacked by evil four winged Harvester spaceships.



For such an epic sequence, I have chosen to shoot on the island of Lanzarote, where just over 200 years ago, the Island's largest volcano erupted and covered half of the island in lava. Over the years this has solidified, coating the land in a black and red crust.


To see this with your own eyes is breathtaking. For me, it was as I would imagine the surface of the moon to look and back in 1996, when I first went there, I knew I would one day return to film there.

A lot of films have been shot there including, One Million Years BC and Enemy Mine.

The New Kaleidoscope Man Trailer...

Ok folks, here it is!

The opening is similar to the original with the same music etc. But the ending is very different. It now incorporates the fantastic new shot from Screenburn Animation. Crank up your speakers, sit back and enjoy...

If this doesn't get the film funded, nothing will!

Do let me know your thoughts.

A Spectacular New Shot For Kaleidoscope Man

Good old Screenburn Animation have done another shot to put into the opening sequence of the movie. And it’s mind blowing!!!

Ever since I've been making this film, I've been telling everyone what an epic sci-fi ride it was going to be. Well, now, with this new shot there is certainly no mistaking!

I'm cutting a new trailer together which will incorporate the new shot and will include it in the next couple of days. It's REALLY COOL!!!

Many thanks to Dave & Stuart at Screenburn Animation. www.screenburn.co.uk

Here is the pre-vis, just to wet the appetite.
