- Walter Hill: Scott is a graphic designer himself and executed a full storyboard for the film. Most of the film's visual concepts originated with him. For instance in designing the space suits, it was Scott's idea to adapt the design of Samurai suits of armor. He gave his own initial sketch to Jean Giraud, who then used his own personal style in interpreting Ridley's concept. Of course HR Giger was another major influence on the look of the film.
