Submit your questions for Alien: Covenant concept artist Dane Hallett!

Alien: Covenant concept artist Dane Hallett has kindly offered his time to the members of Alien-Covenant.com and Scified to answer questions we might have concerning his involvement with the Prometheus sequel.

In addition to my own list of questions which I will present to him, members can post their own questions in this topic as well for consideration.

Obviously, Mr. Hallett won't be able to divulge any serious or spoilery information about Covenant, but he has graciously agreed to answer whatever questions he can.

So, if you have any questions for Dane, share them below! I will be submitting them to him at the end of the month for our interview.

Just want to echo Halloway's comment above, Chris - thanks :)

My question is similar to a some of those above really (some great ones there guys and gals!):

Dane, How much of the design/creativity came from your own personal style and inspirations and how much of it was ultimately dictated, if that's the right word, by Ridley?  i.e. was there a template, of sorts, to follow or were you allowed total creative freedom?  If it was more the latter, where did you draw inspiration from?

Thanks

I think we can gauge the potential answers from Wayne Haag interview and Ridleys past...

He would draw some ideas and discuss them and then allow concept workers to develop that and maybe evolve it... they could even then do something a bit different to Ridleys basic drawings and Ridley would sometime go... WOW.. thats IT i like that etc....

Dear Dane,

You worked on concept art and set design for Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant. Which sets did you work on for the movie, those of the human space vessel "Covenant" or those of the planet featured in the movie? Of the set designs you were involved in what influences were used (Ron Cobb, Moebius, Giger, Cameron, Stan Winston etc.), and do you have any anecdotes about one of the more interesting or technically challenging set designs you helped realize practically for the movie?
