Alien: The Story Behind MAKING the ‘Derelict Sequence’ | Making ALIEN

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. ---------------------------------------- BONUS VIDEO (Space Suits): Cinema Stories Survey (What movies should I cover?): Support this channel on Patreon: * Ad-free videos for $1!
