SFX Magazine Feature
SFX Magazine are doing a full spread for Alien: Earth as well! They've debuted a look at their upcoming issue, as well as some accompanying goodies and an interview with Noah Hawley, which they previewed on their affiliate website. Interestingly, Noah reveals he reached out to Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049, Dune) for tips on how to invoke a sense of scale for ships and creatures in the show:
I ended up having a conversation with Denis Villeneuve because his movies, I’ve never seen anyone better at showing me that something is big… That feeling of being dwarfed by the size of a ship or a sandworm… One of the things that was really important to me to convey was a sense of scale. I wasn’t looking for trade secrets because I also feel it’s about intimacy as well. You have to have the two, the big and the small. That’s what’s really important to me in this show and I think we’ve achieved it.
It’s a pretty good one, right? Why lie? The guy’s a master, one of the greats. It’s all about story at the end of the day, the moment that it’s style over substance you’re in trouble. That’s clear from his work and from our conversation and clear to me as well, of how to mix practical effects with the visual effects. I come from a model of doing more with less, I pride myself on making things that look like they cost twice what I actually had. Some of that is just vision and execution. But you also have to know where to spend the money to make things feel big.
The SFX Magazine Alien: Earth issue will be available for purchase starting July 16th!
