PLEASE READ! ------------
I've bumped this sketch from waaaaaaay back, because I'd like an opinion on something if somebody could be so kind.
I was going to add it to my list of 'usable' sketches, but it occured to me that a producer might well think there is too much to do here for such a short piece.
Could someone posssibly give me a trick or two on how I could make this and show it to be very low budget? I thought about the suggestion of the saucer on strings, but what about the crowds and cameras etc? Maybe I should just forget about it and throw it out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

EXT. THE MIDDLE OF A CITY
VERY SLOWLY, AN ENORMOUS FLYING SAUCER DESCENDS, ENVELOPING THE VAST CROWDS BELOW IN ITS SHADOW.
THE SHIP STOPS FIFTY FEET FROM THE GROUND.
THE CROWDS WAIT EXPECTANTLY.
ALIEN (V.0):
Greetings to you, citizens of Earth. We (pause) are like you.
And to demonstrate our good will, we bring for you a gift - the gift of more custard than your planet will ever need.
A THOUSAND CAMERAS FLASH AS A DOOR SLIDES OPEN AND THREE TELETUBBIES STEP OUT OF THE SHIP.
THE MIDDLE TUBBY RIPS OFF HIS SPONGE HEAD - REVEALING A REPTILOID - AND THROWS IT ANGRILY TO THE GROUND.
ALIEN:
God damn it, Zonggrok! We don't look anything like them!
