Say what you want about the director David Fincher’S Alien 3but the visual effects work in the film to bring the story to life was fantastic. It featured a mix of animatronics and pioneering CGI.
One of the unique VFX elements involves the use of a rod puppet to bring the alien to life in several scenes. This puppet allowed for intricate, lifelike movement, blending the alien’s agile and disturbing behavior with the dark, claustrophobic setting of the prison.
In the short behind-the-scenes video below, you can see the meticulous work that went into puppeteering the creature, with technicians expertly maneuvering it to capture the alien’s terrifying movements on camera.
Alien 3 follows Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) after his escape from LV-426, only to crash land on a desolate prison planet inhabited by ex-convicts and religious fanatics.
As Ripley comes to terms with the harsh reality of prison, she discovers that an alien creature also survived the crash. Isolated from outside help, the prisoners and Ripley face the alien in a bleak industrial environment that offers little chance of escape.
As Ripley discovers the horrible truth about her connection to the creature, the group’s fight to survive takes on an even more desperate tone, leading to an intense confrontation that pushes her to make the ultimate sacrifice.
