Alien Covenant - Ship Interiors

Director: Ridley Scott
Production Designer: Chris Seagers

Working very closely with Chris Seagers, I developed visualizations for several environments on board the "Covenant" ship. These were intended to nail down the "broad strokes" of these areas, and they were done to precise scale. There were a large number of iterations. I would call this "set pre-viz". Not a lot of time spent on "paint-over" as considerable refinement would happen beyond this initial blocking-in stage. In particular, Jeremy Love turned many of these block forms into fully detailed views of the control panels and other equipment. The chairs were modified from seats originally created for "The Martian" (production designer: Arthur Max)

Another key element that came later was the bold graphics applied to all the sets, a huge undertaking (if anyone can tell me who produced that stuff, I would love to credit them properly!)
