Lifelike Animatronic Facehugger Practical Effects Puppet!

Жыл бұрын

We meet effects artist Jesse Velez of Raptor House Effects, whose team created this animatronic Alien Facehugger for the 40th anniversary theatrical re-release of Alien back in 2018. Engineered from 14 servo motors that drive mechanical linkages along each "finger", this creature creeps alive with three remote control operators puppeting its mesmerizing movements. Jesse gives us a demo of this practical creature effect at SiliCon!

The concept of the Alien visual effects was to make the audience feel like they were being sexually assaulted by watching it. HR Giger has a lot of very sexual references in his art work…

What I would do instead of three operators with standard airplane RC rigs, I'd make a custom rig for the legs in the shape of a set of rings or sleeves you put the fingers of both hands into, then a second controller for the tail. Wiggle your finger in the custom rig, the related leg moves. That way it can both crawl and curl its tail, and you have the third person in cosplay.
