ALIEN 4 Creating Newborn BTS ALIEN RESURRECTION

[@the_soup2284]

I might be the only one in the entire world but I like this design a lot. I think it has the right mix of alien and human elements.

[@boomersplace5798]

ssssaaammmeee

[@kubel83]

the_soup your not alone.. And also a lot of people also felt sad for it when it died, cause of it's human emotions.. When it dies. It reaches out for Ripley hand and sends her the look" why mom, why?" And Ripley cries and says "im sorry" it deffently did a huge impact on me. And maybe a scene i will never forget... Oh i felt sorry for the creature ...But yes you are not alone.

[@kubel83]

Mr T yes deadly mix of Xeno and human. Xeno killer instinct and human emotions.. One moment killing. Next moment sad like a baby "why mom, why)

[@multiverseoftimelessness4391]

No, you're not the only one who loves the Newborn, there are many fans of it! Rejoice because NECA toys received many fan requests and for their Alien Series 12 they're releasing a wave of 7" action figures of Alien: Resurrection that'll be comprised of 3 fully articulated figures based on the film: Ripley-8, Alien Warrior, Newborn! They'll show images of the whole series before July 2017!

Imagine you are working in this workshop, and your team is testing its performance, suddenly the power went out, then that thing is still moving by itself.

[@leviismyoppa967]

Dude

[@southsynthic7828]

Then, you suddenly see that the cables aren't even connected to it.

[@MFobe]

The newborn is a terrific design. it's a toddler but very f*** dangerous I like it's expressions from childlike to dam right killer-mode. it has these expressions that one minute it's helpless looking for mummy... then this very calculated killer.

[@nunyabuizness2953]

+Mark Foster I'd rather see it turned loose on a planet inhabited by simple life forms and observe it from afar than just kill it but it's either it or you.

[@malbowz1257]

The newborn being so repulsive and disturbing is a testament to the talent of everyone involved. It did exactly what the script called for.

[@EmpathP]

While I wasn't the biggest fan of the film, the one thing I WAS a fan of was the creautre design, especially for the newborn. I loved seeing the fusion of xenomorph with human, and I remember the way it moved made me think "it looks painful to even BE that thing". It's great to see the design and technical process behind the creature.

[@mrjohnnyjohnster3940]

Dude, I love the 90's, they came out with some super messed-up aliens and monsters. Nowadays? Now all we got are zombies.

[@FrigidBirostrixRay]

"My jaw is broken!" lol

[@waymire01]

So many complaints.. remember the artists create what they are hired to, they didn't write the script. It's an amazing monster.. such fabulous movement. It was horrifying, yet you felt sorry for it. Very unique as well. I certainly had never seen anything like it before. As for all the discussion about what the xenos should be/look like/do.. everything gets thrown out the window when you add in genetic mutation. It's quite believable for what happens when you take a lot of human, a little xeno, and mess with who knows how many genes along the way.

[@hrani]

Hear hear! "It was horrifying, yet you felt sorry for it" exactly.

[@1ntoTheAbyss]

I as well find this to be one of the most interesting of the alien species/hybrids.

[@multiverseoftimelessness4391]

Precisely! Well said. 🙌👏🙌👏

[@joshsauer4725]

You hit the nail on the head with "It was horrifying, yet you felt sorry for it". That is the sole reason why I don't watch this movie. I feel terrible for it when it gets agonizingly sucked into space.

[@Mmorozovsky]

It aint horrifying, its ✨B O O T I F U L✨

[@DanBrown96]

I was really sad when this creature died in the film.

[@utahwerewolf9932]

I felt so conflicted about this thing. It was disgusting, terrifying and deadly. At the same time, there was something painfully human and child-like about it and its death was extremely disturbing to me.

[@EyeBeZombie]

even though the film was bad i do applaud the amount of work and design that goes into making these incredible creatures the newborn should make a comeback in alien covenant

[@oscarwillis6643]

SephirothgeneX7 I don't think that it could come back because in alien resurrection because the newborn is based of one of Ripleys clones

[@WaitWhat99]

Scariest alien in any sci-fi or horror movie. Hands down

[@Jmgjgdjd5]

yeah, people bash this movie but I think it's much more horrifying than Alien 1 and 2

[@mkultra8729]

[@Jmgjgdjd5]

@@mkultra8729 Well, I think the newborn this video is about is horrifying and so are the Ripley clones and the xenomorphs in this movie feel more threatening

[@Gfors85]

not a chance. Carpenters The thing is waaaaaaaaay scarier. Im guessing that you havent seen that one because of your comment. :3

[@pinkacid]

Everything about the Newborn was frighteningly real! Supreme props to the literal hand puppeteers- I can actually picture the skin on those mechanical bones.

[@robertlambert604]

Impresionante! Antes de juzgar un filme cómo bueno o malo hay que considerar y ver el trabajo tan arduo que hay detras de camaras... es una simple reflexión. Fuerte abrazo y gracias por compartir!

[@TheAlexandGreat]

Personally I love the Newborn design for the reasons stated above. Truth be told, its menacing expressions were more terrifying to look at than any of the aliens and its expressions were out of this world. The newborn had all the elements it needed to. In its case a Giger concept of no eyes and no expressions wouldnt fit at all. Although probably biomechanoid characteristics might have still worked while retaining expressions and the eyes. The movie should have been faithful to Giger's original vision though when it came to the rest of the Aliens. The Aliens became more organic and I dont understand why they tried to make the Alien Queen express emotions in some way. I am talking about the scene where the Newborn was born and she was "facing" it and making some noises of love and tenderness. The Alien Queen should have instead maintained a cold look and should have made a hissing sound as to convey the impression that its labor is a part of infecting, infesting and conquering territories. I understand that they probably wanted to give a different take to the Alien Queen since she could give birth like a mammal and hence express mammalian connection with its children. But in the Alien universe this doesnt fit. Its ability to give birth directly should have been communicated as an additional menacing ability of the new type of Aliens

[@dradra2day]

Dont forget the queen has Ripleys human DNA in her so that's where that emotion came from

[@TheAlexandGreat]

Yeah I understand the logic. but I believe it was unnecessary

[@dradra2day]

TheAlexandGreat alot from resurrection was actually unnecessary..alot of it was disgusting, you cant watch it eatingm puddin, jellow or sspaghetti Wish they woulda toned that down to the other movies

[@TheAlexandGreat]

depends which parts you remember. It wasnt supposed to be a giger design anyways

[@eugenealive]

I just realized. It's a girl!!

[@ELF4187]

Its hinted at that all the drones/warriors etc are "female", kinda like bees in a hive

[@TBStudios91]

+Eugene in the original design it had both female and male attributes, but it was edited

[@alexisalevizakis2252]

+TBStudios91 I can't understand newborn is boy or girl?? I think it's boy with that face only alien girl can't be... Alien queen it's sure is a girl with all the alien who she do birth... But I don't know about newborn I'm sure it's a boy cause his voice in the part of his death to be girl he must have little most more squeaky voice show I'm sure it's boy cause the final clue is this and that make sense in one scene newborn and reply had sex before his death I'm sure newborn is a boy... And the final clue I'm sure it make sense... But I don know about the author thinks how I tell the final make sense newborn alien it's a boy...

[@h3Xh3Xh3X]

Original concept designs for the Newborn gave the creature genitalia, a mix of both sexes. However, Fox was uncomfortable and Jeunet felt "even for a Frenchman, it's too much." The genitalia were digitally removed in post-production.

[@geraldov0439]

Exactly

[@satricon]

This thing is utter perfection! I've always loved the design. the exact design you settled with is perfect. nothing needs improving. it really looks like a morph between a human and the alien. it has human features wich are horrifyingly distorted. but it can also show emotion, creating empathy! i love the "nose" and how it has a mouth that can open extremely wide! You really outdid yourselves with this! One of my favorite movies of all time

[@nunyabuizness2953]

Wow the animatronics is gorgeous! The hands are so dextrous.

[@MrJakeKale]

Say what you will about the Newborn, the craftsmanship involved in bringing it to life is incredible.

[@ChistopherMoonlight]

So many steps in a tremendous process, yet you handled every aspect, from sculpt to mechanics, superbly.

[@TopcatsLair]

Love how emotive it was and how it could spin on a dime from sad and confused to rageful. It was lit perfectly in the film too, the lit just hitting the sunken eyes right when it needed to

[@johnnynails166]

This special effects company is amazing. They do awesome work. It is so cool to have a chance to see the development of the alien newborn from start to finish.

[@wysiwyg2006]

as an alien fan i hate resurrection but granted the newborn was disturbing and terrifying

[@se5d]

why do you hate it?! great scenario, great actors. compate the script in Alien Covenant (total trash)

[@falcon81701]

This is pretty damn impressive. These days they would just CGI the newborn and it owed not look anywhere near as good as that.

[@thedude6389]

what annoys me is how you guys probably spent more than a few months sculpting, animating, designing and more for this creature but now people just rely on CGI for these kind of things

[@MrBreakthompson]

But CGI would never look the same! So its worth it :D

[@SolarTara]

you guys do realize the people that do cgi for moves have train for years to have the technical know how to create the digital creatures, countless hours go into computer sculpting, animating, rigging and other things to make them look and feel real! it's not like the computer does all the work for you... people still spend hours even months on the effects and I think its all choice of what median fits the given circumstance better.... both "practical" effects and CGI take a whole LOT of time and effort to create, and you get both bad and good outcomes... it's the memory you have of it that is giving the illusion it is better. wait 15 more years, and people will look back at movies like the new tron movie, or transformers, or basically any modern film, and say that it was so much better back then. Please.. understand people put work into both...

[@internationalartprojects8660]

A good blend of CGI and practical effects always works. Digital artists have a lot more skill then they had 15 years ago. Terminator 2 is a good example some of the best effects in the movie were practical complimented with CGI and Cameron still used rear projection in a lot of scenes.

[@leonghk12]

Good CGI will also take months creating

[@patrickcummins79]

Josh Gaarax3 id imagine that an entire trade and skill set and associated group of professionals was lost from that era, due to the rise of cgi

[@Stormx2233]

Outstanding workmanship and the detail and work that went into the newborn is just frigging awesome. Its just a shame they put it in the film, never liked it in the film thought it took away from the story.

[@braindead_muppet930]

I love when they're testing out the robotics. The hands and arms moving around make the newborn look so clueless aha XD "Whuuuh? Huh? Who's there?"

[@lai5115]

the robotics in this is just awesome.

[@RFakonWolf_Art]

It's sad this creature has to die. How this baby demand for love and affection from it's mother and how it's express emotion kinda make me see a positive possibility that this character worth a development and deserves a role in those next movies.

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

Horror movies still need to use practical effects. Mama had a decent story but the CGI ghost is too ridiculous. If they used practical effects the would have been much scarier.

[@user-fk7sn2ht5s]

すげーこうやって生まれてきたんだなーニューボーンは

[@littlesneets8026]

Can't say I'm a big fan of aliens, and I'm sure there some very enthusiastic people who have complaints against some of the stories. And I get that feeling, it's how I felt about the live acation transformers films. But alas, we can all agree that the artists who dedicate their time to create these awesome models of creatures, truly are what make hose movies worth it. The newborn is an alien that will always stick out to me, regardless if it makes sense. Just the misery surrounding it's life, combined with such a bizarre agonising death for such a bizarre life form , makes this the most tragic but horrifying creature I've ever seen so far.

[@Cello85]

how do you get to work in a studio like this? i mean, are all those people who do "miniatures" also digital artists or you can be a reallife sculptor alone? its a dream job

[@falena72]

È la creatura più dolce e terrificante che io abbia mai visto! Comunque tutte le volte che ho visto Alien 4 ,alla fine quando muore piango sempre😢

[@porcu12345]

Always wanted to see what the Newborn would look like once fully grown. Probably would have matched a Queen in size.

[@doncatron]

In the video game Metal Slug 3 there’s a boss fight where you go up against giant aliens with an extremely similar body to that of the alien newborn. I’m sure this movie brought inspiration for that boss design.

[@TheAceY2k]

Just knowing that can come to life at you in any second haha. When the hybrid bites that guy in the movie, it reminds me of Abominable when the squatch/yeti bites and chops half of the guy's head off.

[@SupaPoopaScoopa]

Typically aliens and humans start off really small, so I would have loved to see that thing fully grown!

[@wikialiens2039]

C'est incroyable la technologie utilisée dans les films quand même. J'aime le cinéma. Et celui là, film français !

[@bigballs274]

Working in this workshop seems like a dream job not gonna lie

[@CHR0MEMATIC]

I like how they thought that having this thing die by being forcefully sucked through a hole into space, its flesh tearing apart and its organs bursting out, was okay, but it having two genitals was " too much". Lol.

[@jeremychocholowski5203]

some very talented people. those arms and hands were amazing. I wish I was making stuff like this for a living

[@Trashgriffin]

This is amazing! Great to see a bit of the work behind this piece of art. I wonder how much time you guys had to complete this?

[@myepicpwnage]

[@rolanddawson3657]

It's truly heartbreaking to know that this art will be completely lost to cgi one day.

[@trashlord3214]

Okay, so the design is neat and all, but does anyone else think it's kinda funny that the human/Xenomorph hybrid looks less human than the Xenomorphs in the movie?

[@CyARTTM]

Really love what you do, from concept to sculpture to the final product, always a pleasure to watch :) keep up the good work

[@spencervinje]

I've always liked the look of the alien newborn because of its skeletal kind of look and I don't know maybe it's because it actually had a face unlike gigors alien wich had no nose and no eyes
