The decimated Bishop is one of my all-time favorite practical effects. When I first saw Alien 3 in the theater I walked out wondering "how'd they do that?" and every time I watch Alien 3 at home I am still astounded by it. Of all the beautiful designs you guys did for Alien 3, this one is is special to me. Great video.
One of the best special effects I've ever seen. This movie may have its flaws, but I love the texture and tone of it. Everything looks and sounds utterly filthy and gross. I love it. Plus, this scene in the film was just incredible. It took me years to realize that it wasn't Lance Henriksen there in makeup. Phenomenal work to everyone involved with Bishop's creation in this film.
I think the set design and cinematography were definitely a step up from Alien 3. David Fincher needs to sit down and re-watch someday.. there's a lot in there to be proud of.
Even he was rather decayed and was a legless damaged android, I kinda wish he had just a bit more screen time in Alien 3. But damn, his death was pretty depressing.
Oooo I remember this. The only thing missing was the breath from his lips as he spoke, but being an android maybe he didn't have breath. Anyway beautiful work!
I have a question.There´s two versions of the sculpture, one with almost the whole torso and another missing it from the chest down(that was used in the actual movie).The director asked for the change? I remember how impressed i was when i saw the animatronic Bishop at the time.I had never seen such advanced human representation as that on those days. Excellent work!
It must get a little tense when making moulds from these wonderful clay creations. All that hard work could be lost if things went wrong. So the question begs: Have they; do they ever?
It's very rare, but some of us, early on, do make that mistake. One is if you are making a plaster mold of a sculpture, the plaster could start to set when you are only three quarters through. Something like that can ruin a sculpture. Another is if you are making an epoxy mold. You could butter it all over the sculpture but the epoxy never sets . Then you are left with this goo that is impossible to clean up and is giving off dangerous fumes. So, the answer would be , Yes, plenty of things CAN go wrong, but with experience, you make sure to check, double check and do all kinds of tests . Like for this effect, involving the sculpture, molding , casting, painting, and all of the animatronics which are all custom machined it would normally be a budget of around $500,000 . This effect involves the use of a computerized lip-synch playback called "The Gilderfluke System" so I think that it probably ended up costing the production around $800,000 for this one effect in a short scene . The entire budget was 50 million and I'm sure that most of that went to the various effects in the film.
You could tell it was animatronic, it was kinda the point, he was a damaged android and not a human. They did a phenomenal job, studioADI are fucking amazing!
This is from the scene where Ripley "re-activates" him to ask him questions about what happened to the Sulaco. It's not from the scene near the end of the film where he gets attacked. In the scene where he is plugged into a battery (using the prop shown in the video) it is very obvious that it is an animatronic puppet; his nostrils don't even have holes..

the amount of care and detail that goes into making these is phenomenal

Simply incredible.

You guys must be kidding. Its been some time since i watched alien 3 but it was him, i swear

Pedro Henrique Fonseca da Silva i always thought it a real actor too, awesome!

this adds to the thing about the other bishop being or not another robot
I want that mounted on the hood of my van! yee haw!
