When Dallas, Kane, and Lambert step out of the Nostromo’s airlock in Ridley Scott’s Alien, they are not only led into a foreboding alien world, they are entering the nightmarish mind of one of the greatest dark surrealist artists who’s ever lived–HR Giger. This whole sequence is like stepping into a series of Giger paintings and along with its importance in setting up the rest of the movie, the mystery that is created heightens the terror surrounding the monster. So let’s go through the Derelict sequence from beginning to end and look at how everything was created from concept to execution.

Thanks so much for your continued support!

So sorry about that! I've been testing out the Patreon direct upload feature for the past couple of videos. Here is a vimeo link so you don't have to wait until Saturday: https://vimeo.com/906180856/866357ee4b If anyone else reads this and can't get the video to load, please let me know.

Watched. Loved it. You are the master of minutiae. My favorite was the mini Dallas and Lambert on a track in front of the Derelict model. Thank you again for expanding my knowledge. There is always something new to learn in your Docs.

I've red stories about Giger's contributions before but never seen footage of him actually on the Alien set and working on the models. This is great!
