At the beginning of every task in animation, I always start by researching, gathering influences, and surrounding myself with everything I can to do with that character. My main focus while working on this game has been animating the Alien and helping to bring this character to life. My name is Simon Ridge and I’m an animator on Alien: Isolation. To celebrate, two members of the development team join PlayStation.Blog for a look into the rich, complex process of bringing the iconic killer to Alien: Isolation. Alien: Isolation is out today on PS4 and PS3, and it’s designed to capture the style and horror of the 1979 sci-fi classic.
