WAR MACHINE
Worked with Patrick Hughes we landed on this direction for the War Machine, we wanted the machine to represent the shadow work chasing 81, an unstoppable machine coming after him, alien movement, magnetic plates sliding along one another, unfolding parts and trying to ride a balance between "could be high tech human, could be alien".
There are many really cool features I wish I could show but unfortunately since they are not shown in the film, I cannot, but in the future be on the lookout!
While the model due to production timelines we didn't get to bring to a fully polished CAD model level, the production team took this advanced blockout and made it look great in the film.

Scanning concept, i wanted it to do a see through of characters skull and internals when they are scanned to look more horror.
We wanted the vents on the front to let it feel like it's breathing.
I wanted the knee negative space to look like some kind of mouth
Final model of the landing pod
Early stages, there were a lot of cool features I can't show unfortunately we didn't use in this film.
