Some people in my screening really seemed to get a kick out of learning that it was his kids used to sell the scale of the Derelict. Must have been new information to them.
Even I learned a little tidbit out of this (unless I did know and simply forgot this over the years, which is entirely possible): I didn't realize that the shots of the Derelict that are coming in from the characters' cameras were played on VHS and recorded off a TV.
