Here’s a breakdown of the different “babies” (puppets) used in the birthing scene, based on the provided text:
* “Flying” Baby: This puppet had arms adn wings outstretched and was mounted on a stick. It was used for dynamic movement, being flown around inside the car.
* “Fetal Position” Baby: This puppet was sculpted in a curled-up, fetal position. It was the one actually pushed out during the initial part of the birthing scene – the practical affect of the baby emerging.
* Lighting/Reference Baby: Sansom’s team created a detailed baby puppet (likely based on a 3D sculpt) specifically for lighting reference. This helped the visual effects team understand how light would interact with the creature. It was also used for actor interaction (smashing against faces, etc.) to elicit realistic reactions.
* head puppet: A smaller,softer puppet consisting of just the head was used for close-up interactivity with the actors.
