An image? Why not a shortshort? Remember that Twilight Zone episode about the "Terror at 20,000 feet" (or however high up they were)? We can have Steve inside the plane madly gesturing, while the Gremlin is tearing at the wing hatch (the plane can be descending through a cloud layer to make this part extra eerie)... [note, I would do the first part in black and white and then segue to color once the boxes start coming out] he reaches in deeply, then takes out colorful boxes and drops them off one by one (like a kid dropping stuff from the roof)... back to Steve inside plane where we realize that he has a checklist... back to the Gremlin hooting and dancing on the wing... then to the boxes floating colorfully down over London towards rooftops marked with large white X's. The Gremlin and Steve could then give each other the thumbs up, the Gremlin crawls inside the hatch, and we return to the inside of the plane where the landing procedure has initiated... maybe the loudspeaker is saying something about a safe arrival, and Steve could smile like a chessy cat. The model of a passenger cabin is around somewhere, and we have a Gremlin. Morphing Dan's face into Steve's is quite possible. We don't have a wing section or a complete commercial airliner that I know of, but I've never gone looking for such. Depending upon what is out there, it may need to be modeled or converted. The parachute/box-harness would require modeling, too. We ought to be able to find an aerial view of London for compositing. Carolly
