What was Fincher thinking with that shit-tier CGI?
The puppet looked so great. Why not use it all the time?

They lookked fine to me.
Connor Fisher
This is the puppet nigga, just the compostion is shit.
Andrew Miller
you are full of thit.
This was 1992 and fucking Star Wars special effects look much better
Liam Clark
But puppet is not live on screen. It looks like cut out of newsmagazine and copied over film.
Zachary Wilson
It looked ok back in the day, even T2 doesn't hold up on HD:
Gavin Cook
Because the puppet is significantly small in real life.
If it were done today, they'd probably build a life size puppet with green-covered rods and controls attached to it,
or build an animatronic/puppet suit that fits over an actor who is wearing a green-colored bodysuit.
Cameron Bell
i dunno man back in the standard definition days i felt the cgi alien in 3 looked surreal and nightmare-like
Gabriel Hall
This scene is fucking awesome i don't care what anyone says.
Logan Collins
most people agree that scene is awesome. it's the shitty puppet that gets all the hate.
OP is trolling
Anthony Sullivan
Do practical composite effects ever look good? Like with the dropship landing in Aliens, it seems like something that's impossible to do well without CGI.
Aiden Taylor
I heard production in this movie was a nightmare so I'll give him a pass
Jason Lopez
>If it were done today, they'd probably build a life size puppet
in The Thing wich was 10 years older there were live size puppets
Nathan Ramirez
Generaly this is the best kino of Alien movies but that CGI ruins everything
Angel Adams
I'm not trolling. This alien is kino. CGI is just shit and I'm asking why Fincher didn't stick to practical effects with Alien (which got best look in this part) all the time and he allowed that amateurish CGI shit.
Nolan Butler
Because you can't make a puppet scamper around the ceiling like a hyperactive xenodoggy.
Christopher Hernandez
Nah it's only there for a split second. Quit being such a baby.
Aaron Bennett
Who turned off SSAO?
Isaiah Harris
Have a puppet scamper along the floor with the camera upside down?
Eli Bell
It looks ok in the thread thumbnail, and would probably look acceptable on VHS but on DVD and beyond it looks like shite.
Jaxon Wilson
Great idea. Just stick all the human actors to the ceiling with superglue.
Chase Morris
>xenodog
What about xenosharks? Shit, there should be a movie where they travel back in time and there are xenosaurs, you know, xenos that burst out of dinosaurs, that'd be fucking AWESOME nerds
Adam Hernandez
>and I'm asking why Fincher didn't stick to practical effects with Alien
The xeno in 3 actually was practical, it was an incredibly well made puppet that was greenscreened over scenes that were already filmed.
It looks like shit because of the shitty greenscreen tech at the time. Can't remember the actual term for the special effect.
John Carter
If it were done today it'd be CGI and they'd laugh you out of the room for wanting to use a puppet
James Thomas
Here, found the video again, it's very interesting.

It's a rod-puppet you dumb cunt. The only time the alien was CGI in the film was when its head cracked at the end.
Sebastian Green
>He hasnt seen the Italian sequel
Leo Perez
Ok so still they shoot video with tiny puppet and then glued it over video which looked like shit in each fucking frame where alien runs.
They COULD stick with the large one like in this scene: youtube.com
