H.R. Giger has approached each of his film assignments with the same
dedication he devotes to his fine art work, giving free range to his brilliant
imagination and to his uncompromising artistic vision. His movie projects are
examined in great detail in his book,
H.R. GIGER'S FILM DESIGN, which documents the
odyssey of his fantastic designs from genesis through gestation and, sometimes,
to successful birth. While, only rarely, did all the elements in the
collaborative process come together successfully (most notably in
ALIEN and
SPECIES),
Giger has created some of the most successful marriages of design and film in
the history of sci-fi cinema. |
