Moon

 Moon was the first featured film that was directed by a commercial director. Duncan jones was the director or the film moon and he has also directed the film source code. Duncan jones was also known as zowie bowie, the son of david bowie and he co-wrote the script with nathan parker.
The film Moon was created for the actor sam rockwell who has been in many welll known films such as Iron man 2 and cowboys and aliens. Sam was born in California, but was raised by just his dad in San Fran Sisco. One of his first films that he did was horror film clownhouse and after that he then moved to New York so that he could get into a more bigger sort of acting career.
Moon was produced by Trudie Snyder who has worked with duncan before. the stage in which Moon was produced was stage 6 as this was the stage in where the films that are created there go out straight onto DVD. The budget for that film was $5m as Duncan Jones wanted it to be as cheap as possible so cut the production costs. This meant that he was limited on actors- as he only had 2, sam and his (made up) wife- and filmed all of it in a studio. Moon was oruduced at Shepperton studios, in which it was filmed in 33days. Jones used models instead of animation as it was much cheaper and was helped by Bill Pearson who made models for the film alien. the moon base was created as a full 360-degree set, being 85–90 feet (26–27 m) long and approximately 70 feet (21 m) wide. The robot in the film (GERTY) was designd to be on an overhead rail on the set. The pingpong scene was a mime and using CGI they then added the ball.
