leading from
- Alec Gillis: A couple of my sketches from ALIEN3. Due to script
changes the pre production build schedule was unusually long even by the
standards of the day. Giger was submitting from Zurich but @tom_woodruffjr
and I were asked to give our takes as well. This would later cause ill
feelings from Giger towards us, which was a unfortunate. Even on ALIENS,
which Giger was not part of, we considered ourselves to be caretakers
of the incredible designs he created. At the same time when a director
asks for your ideas, as professionals you give them. We asked for the
credit ‘Alien FX Designed by’ while Giger received the credit ‘original
Alien Designed by’ so as to make it clear we weren’t trying to diminish
Giger’s brilliant work. He had well documented problems with Fox and I
suspect he lumped us into that contingent. We can’t always control
people’s reactions. Sometimes it’s just best to accept and move on.
