The landing bay was a big model but it was tall and not hard to get around. The 1/6 scale lab and Alien cells was huge, the size of room. It took up a huge amout of space in the shop. You got so used to going through it or around it to get to tools and supplies. The day they moved it to set every time I crossed into the space it had been sittting it it felt like I was falling
The model shoot for this film was crazy the DP had this idea that because space was black he needed to to use black bounce cards to light the models. It was insanely hot on set and we had huge lights on set to get enough light to see the models becuse of the balck bounce cards the models were literally smoking and melting. Bounce cards and drapes were catching on fire becuse it was so hot. Tempers were on a hair tirger, and fights between crew membrs and temper tantrams of all kinds were common. I was kind of glad that I was not on the shoot for the whole job.
