Project: Alien Title Sequence
Role: Animator, Practical Effects
Created: 2025
Myself and two of my colleagues collaborated on a project to reimagine the original Alien title sequence. I was responsible for designing and animating the control panel UI, filming a range of practical effects, glitching all of the content created. Collectively, we produced a modern take of a timeless classic, while still staying true to its roots with analog effects.
Practical Liquid Glitch Effects
Distressing glitches from destroyed equipment, terminal computers, along with Xenomorphs acidic blood are all key characteristics of the original Alien film. I wanted to connect these two elements together using the liquid inside a broken LCD screen, along with actual liquid light techniques. The liquid from both was manipulated by hand and was captured using a Fuji XT3 mirrorless camera. The result was a very organic, yet digital liquid effect. The videos were then processed in After Effects and edited together in Premiere Pro.
