Highrise,1980 - Alien space ship steals Rhodes Tower from Columbus, Ohio - Unseen/Rare Short Film!!!

Many years ago local libraries had 16mm film collections. I found this film at the Grandview Library in Columbus, Ohio. I loved this short film and transfered it to video. I always wondered who made it. Well recently, I finally put it all together. This film was made by Mark Sullivan while I believe he was still attending Columbus College of Art and Design. Mark went on to become one of the best matte painters in Hollywood. I recently emailed Mark and told him that others need to see this film. He gave me permission to post this on You Tube. More about Mark's accomplishments follow. Mark's website: www.digitalmatte.com Mark Sullivant: Matte painter and special effects supervisor at ILM who entered American film with SAHARA (1983).

Eric Brevig, Harley Jessup & Michael Lantieri) 1 nomination Here is what Mark had to say about his early years: The swirling aura of artistic aspiration suffused my juvenile noggin upon my first viewing of the 1933 uberclassic, King Kong. The handcrafted mighty ape moving within layers of meticulously painted panes of glass, representing the nearly infinitely vine encrusted environs of Skull Island, seized my imagination like nothing else. My enthusiasm for those black and white single frame animated tableaus fueled futile attempts of recreating the glorious scenes with clay dinosaurs animated in Super 8 millimeter, in front of my own crudely painted scenic backgrounds. Several years of this hobby pursuit spawned an abiding interest in painting, animation, and motion picture visual effects, and led me into a career path that allowed me the opportunity of working such diverse film projects as House, House 2, Bugsy, The Hudsucker Proxy, Pleasantville, and Starship Troopers. I studied painting at the Columbus College of Art and Design, and have worked for Chiodo Bros. Productions, Jim Danforth, Dreamquest Images, Industrial Light and Magic, and independently.
