Alien Proof Construction is a hybrid film and TV construction company
operating at the intersection of old-school skill and leading-edge tech
CONSTRUCTION
(SETS AND PROPS)
Alien Proof has form in the set construction industry, part of build teams for major shows including C*A*U*G*H*T; The Drover’s Wife; Last King of The Cross; Life on the Line; Wolf Like Me and many more. We also have a strong focus on art-based TVCs and new media promotion
(ANZ GAYTMs; Cloud 9 Frozen
in the Clouds campaign).
SPECIAL
EFFECTS
From science experiments for Dr. Karl to sending yoghurt into space, we’ve designed and built air-powered canons for Steampunks, petrol-bombed, a flooded caravan for a Seabellies’ music video, set fire to an outback shack and created Scuba Driver, a rusting Kombie, sealed, waterproofed and filled with eight tonnes of water – driven by a scuba ‘driver’ and his mermaid.
VEHICLE
CUSTOMISATION
Kitting out classic muscle cars for a
high-octane drag race, designing and building an on-road dancefloor cantina for Miller, artfully deconstructing the old PNG Shorts mail-plane, and a yearly Mad Max-inspired dirt-track pilgrimage… vehicle customisation is all part
of the show.

Director Cameron Stanton is a NIDA-trained construction manager with 40 years experience, and is widely considered a brilliant maverick.
Alien Proof has a well-earned working knowledge of on-set etiquette, interpreting direction, camera angles, and location scope,
and understand the need for the fastest turnaround from build to shoot, on time and on budget. On time, on budget.
“Alien Proof is the ultimate screen production house, manned by the irrepressible Ran, with a team that goes the distance, even if that means relocating to the desert for a month.”
“I’ve worked with Ran and his crew on Little Monsters, Wolf Like Me and more – it’s always a pleasure.”
Abe Forsythe, Director
“This crew is impressive – nothing fazes them. You can ask anything of them, and it gets done, from car stunts on the Harbour and outback builds to full-scale construction on multimillion-dollar productions.”
