Flexible wire attatched to a wood platform, with aluminum foil to add bulk.

Here is the basic skeleton. It works pretty well as is, but needs some bugs worked out.

Toon Shading Was used in these renders, I'll probalby try to get a realistic texture on him eventually.

A cargo ship flies by.

INT. COCKPIT

TRUCKER is asleep at the controls of his ship. There is an abrupt impact that wakes TRUCKER, warning lights go off in the ship. TRUCKER gets up to go repair his ship.

SPACE, outside of cargo ship – DAY

TRUCKER emerges from his ship through a circular hatch. There is a big dent in his ship and he inspects the damage. He opens his toolbox and begins fixing his ship.

Something speeds by, too fast to see. The astronaut turns around and reaches for another tool and can’t find it.

The thing speeds by again, and the tool TRUCKER was originally using is now gone too. TRUCKER looks around and can’t see the culprit.

The thing speeds by again, now taking his toolbox.

TRUCKER goes back into his ship and then emerges with a net-gun. Soon, the thing flies by again and TRUCKER stops it with the net-gun, ensnaring the ALIEN in a net. TRUCKER begins to reel in his catch, but the ALIEN begins to struggle, pushing with it’s jet pack. The ALIEN breaks free and flies away again, the TRUCKER hits his ship in anger.

TRUCKER now struggles to repair his ship without tools when he hears a rumbling sound behind him. ALIEN flies overhead in his ship, which has been repaired with TRUCKER’s tools. The ALIEN now gives the borrowed tools back and flies away.
