Dr. Strangelove - Doomsday Machine This scene is built around the reveal of the Doomsday machine and its reception amongst America’s most powerful military and foreign authorities. The whole scene is dimly lit with hard lighting. -Skip first <7 seconds- -7 Seconds The scene opens up with moderately fast dynamic camera movement on a dolly. The camera quickly approaches Alexi de Sadesky as he is distressed.

I visit England every summer to see my grandparents and cousins. My first years working with film were maybe best summed up with the word desperate. Nobody in my town asked anybody to jump on board and help them with projects so whatever experience I acquired was of my own accord. If I was looking to make something it was only gonna happen if I tackled it all myself, no one was just gonna hand me credit on a project.
