Well, well... look what I came across.

Boy guys... that video was merely for fun. I was making another video for a parody of "ET - The Return" and going through some original footage and was using that scene and it just reminded me of him. So, if anyone knows me from my cloverfield days, you'd know my style. if I'm going to do a vid, I'm going to do it up right.

So, with that said. I could have taken any shot of Elliott from the movie and did the same thing. I can do it with anyone and give the impression it is who that person is. I just enjoyed doing it and throwing it out there for all to see.

Now... here's the "hmmm" part. Who says it's not Elliott? Of course it's not even a real boy. It's computer generated clearly. But... if they use the actor's likeness in that shot, would he not need to get royalties or compensation? Maybe Steven S is just paying homage to his own work without being too direct.

Final note... no, I don't even think it's Elliott, but with E.T. turning 30... it just feels like a missed opportunity if it weren't.

Thanks for watching and I'll be putting out more Super 8 vids as I feel inspired. I've always said that if my videos make you go "hmmmmm" or something like "that's interesting"... then I've done my job.

Hey Ras..... good to see ya around still.

Rock On

Howdy, MB!

Personally, I think the kid in the shot is Abrams' son, Henry!

You continue to produce superior work.
(And, you do realize, this is our first human contact?)

It also looks like it could be a pic of Kyle Chandler as a boy.

This is cropped from an Early Edition shot:
