Alien: Earth - Morrow’s cyborg arm

 leading from

Alien: Earth

 

a) The series also featured blends of man and machine, including the Maginot’s cyborg officer played by Babou Ceesay, who sports a weaponised left arm.

The production created a flexible sleeve to represent Morrow’s robotic appendage.

They wanted to avoid it resembling the mechanics of Jim Cameron’s movie Terminator

The idea was that it had to resemble the HR Giger’s look seen in Alien. This might have seemed to be curious decision since everything Giger designed Alien was supposed to resemble Alien technology. Is there a mysterious question worth asking about its origin?

But the idea was that it had a synthetic wrapper, and the team at Fin VFX figured out that look, revealing technology inside, and reanimated the hand.

It was translucent, and light could hit both the internal mechanics and the external through dynamic lighting scenarios.

Babou Ceesay as the character Morrow would pretend that this glove as his cyborg arm was attached to the base of his brain so that there’s constant communication and he could do anything he wanted with is as an arm. it also had special hidden functions making it useful as a tool kit.

The production created a flexible sleeve for Morrow's robotic appendage. Fin VFX then added translucency and internal workings. "We wanted to avoid Terminator-like mechanics," says Rothbart. "It had to sit in the H.R. Giger look of Alien. The idea was that it had a synthetic wrapper, and Fin figured out that look, revealing technology inside, and reanimated the hand. It was translucent, and light could hit both the internal mechanics and the external through dynamic lighting scenarios." https://theasc.com/articles/alien-earth-vfx-cinematography
