Wanted to be the alien designer for movies from a young age
Wasn't sure MIB was supposed to be a comedy or what?
figuring out what its gonna be, the second film was easier because of blueprint from the first
He didn't want cartoon characters but wanted to be funny with lots of humer
There was a tricky balance between a fun feeling and reality, and look like something that could exist but isn't scary
usually creates his designs on computer
2d art work
Can do paintings on computer that would take half a day but look like would take a week
Biggest problem instead of 2/3 choices now has 20/30 choices
Has team of people that are designers, who still use pencil paper and make mackettes
Will design aliens and then decide on approach of how he is going to create it.
All the stuff that hes been doing in his career he puts into the movie
animatronics
puppets
simple makups
complex makups
fake heads
started out thinking he wanted to be a make up artist but was limited and didn't like it
got into more animatronics and puppets and fake heads because you're not bound to just the two eyes for example.
Some aliens will be made first as a mickette then create a 3d sculpture of it and make it mechanical - no actor involved. Whats great about that is were not inhibited by the human form inside, can give it as many arms and legs as we decide and can stretch it out.
