Lost:Black Earth was my first ever movie. I directed it back in 1999 and it was actually one of the very first digital movies (Yes, even before George Lucas did the digital Star Wars). All up it only cost around $AU10,000 to make. We shot it on weekends over a six month period and then I single handedly took on the post production, editing, visual effects, sound design, etc, over the next couple of years. At the time, it was a massive effort and an enormous amount of filmmaking and story telling knowledge was learned. More than you'd ever get sitting in a classroom or reading a book. Even though, looking back at it now there is so much to cringe about and so many things I can't believe I did. Since making this movie, my career has developed and I am now working in the film industry as an editor and visual effects artist and working at a Hollywood level. You can view my latest show reel here www.youtube.com So to anyone who wants to make a life in the film industry, just go out and do it. It doesn't matter if what you make is crap, at least you'll made something. Just by making something, you put yourself above 90% of the people who want to be filmmakers. And to anyone who thinks this film looks awful (and feels the need to comment about it), show me your first film. I'm betting you wont even have one. Lost: Black Earth is Directed by me, James Cole and produced by Chris Daniels. It is an apocalyptic, science Fiction, Action, Adventure movie inspired by the great movies ...

The Amazing Transparent Man is a 1960 science fiction film starring Marguerite Chapman. Based on the 1956 novel The Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson, it is an American B-movie which follows the story of an insane ex US Army major who uses an escaped criminal to steal materials to improve the invisibility machine his scientist prisoner made.[1] It was one of two sci-fi films shot back to back by director Edgar G. Ulmer (the other being Beyond the Time Barrier).[2] The combined filming schedule for both films was only two weeks. The film was later featured in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The film has received very poor reviews and suffered in popularity as a result of its low budget. Leading science fiction author David Wingrove commented in his Science Fiction Source Book that "Its cheap-budget origins show throughout. Amazing claims too much for what is essentially a thriller involving an escaped criminal..." The Amazing Transparent Man is in the public domain, and can be downloaded here for free: www.archive.org

Whether it's Star Trek's USS Enterprise, or the iconic space station from 2001: A Space Odyssey, science fiction has always provided inspiration and ideas for the scientists and engineers that design and build real spacecraft. The, at times, fine line between science fiction literature and the developments in real life space activities provides the backdrop to ESA's latest Space-in-Bytes video lesson release, titled "Science fiction - science fact".
