Animatronic alien puppet

My wife's completed alien puppet, taking inspiration from the bambi burster used in Alien 3.

Beautiful work, both on the puppet and the videos.

I assume this is part of a larger project you are working on?  Amazing stuff, and I hope you can share more here in the future!

Thanks Chris.

The creature was actually made as part of a larger research masterwork into Giger and puppetry - but we both agreed that once fabricated, it only made sense to actually film something. The dramatic work only had the smallest amount of narrative. It's possible that we re-visit it at some point, but for now it occupies the unique and fun position of a prop being created not because a script calls for it, but because she really wanted to research it and build it.

Cheers, 

David
