"Was This Extraterrestrial A Practical Prop Or Digital FX?" Topic

Was it animatronics, a guy in a suit, or CGI? The eyelid movement is what I find most interesting.

Anyone know? It was "found" in 2011:

That is actually the guy who ordered the hit on JFK. No CGI or makeup.

Witchcraft?

"It was "found" in 2011"

Yeah, they "found" it right after they finished creating it.

Usual "fuzzy" photo/film that you see for any "alien" discovery.

O.C. Krill?

The simplest explanation is usually the right one. It is real!!!

I enjoyed reading thru the comments under the linked you tube video. I like the one that questioned how the alien pulls on his skin tight tunic over his huge head and hands. Perhaps the alien is real and the clothing is CG???

GCI, SPFX, etc. … today with all the tech out there, you can't believe anything you see, hear, etc.

Even a well known Hollywood SPFX "master" said the "Alien Autopsy" film would have been hard to fake. But IMO … I'm pretty sure it is a very "Well" done piece of Sci-fi …

Many humans do love their conspiracy theories …

Area 51!

Nah, that's the cover story. The REAL story is Area 52!

I like the one that questioned how the alien pulls on his skin tight tunic over his huge head and hands.

If my mother-in-law can get dressed, this should have no technical challenges.

LOL. Oh boy!

My brother would say it's real.

I would say that my brother is from Cloud Cuckoo Land.

2011? Heck, just slap some ping-pong balls on Andy Serkus' face and film in front of a green screen. Hey, presto, instant alien.

The large head is a latex prosthetic "bald cap" worn bay an actor (probably a slight female or child). The face remains exposed to give a naturalness to movement. The digital video was then digitally distorted to create the oversized eyes.
The lack of finger movement in the "hands" is also a clue that these are gloves, as movement of the latex would too easily expose that they aren't real hands.
I garner this from observation of the video. The intentional grainy digital filter is a smart touch, but it's still obviously a fake.

Afterthought: the eyelid movement could simply be caused by pumping air into cavities in the "bald cap." A simple squeeze bulb with a tube running to the "eyelids" would cause the "blink" effect quite easily.

Sorry that is O.H. Krill – and here is his errr story..

Some nice sci-fi reading or bwaaaaaa-haaa-haaaa!

The lack of hand movement and the overall body stiffness seen in the video suggest that the aliens suffer from arthritis. They are apparently breathing our atmosphere, which may contain contaminants that affect their metabolism, triggering the arthritic effects.

That's the simplest explanation.

Excellent point!

NOT SURPRISING: This was done with costume effects and CGI.

SURPRISING: The actor is a lizard-like alien who was made to look like a human-like alien.

etotheipi – made me laugh out loud!!!

" I like the one that questioned how the alien pulls on his skin tight tunic over his huge head and hands."

Not a problem with Spray-On Clothing(TM)…

At least they put cloths on it. What is with the naked aliens? If they are smart enough to travel here, I'm sure their gonna be smart enough to wear cloths. lol

That makes too much sense I/wolf …
