Newborn Alien From Alien: Resurrection Computer generated graphics used in film lack the ability to interact on screen with actors. Because of this limitation many directors require physical effects to be created for use with the actors on set. This image is from the archives of Amalgamated Dynamics Inc., an effects company specializing in this area. This is the newborn alien from Alien: Resurrection. It was the first time ADI got to completely design and develop a creature. Not entirely on their own of course because they had a lot of input from the director. Ultimately the entire character was a full scale puppet. It was operated using a motion control system. ADI also custom built a couple of software programs to make it a little more performable once it was on set. It still took a huge number of puppeteers to operate, a total of 9 puppeteers going up to 15 when shots of the legs were required. The legs were operated externally with rods, the face had complete range of expression which was all done electronically and all the body movements were done hydraulically so there was a big combination of techniques that were used to operate the puppet on set.
