David Attenborough or Sigourney Weaver narrating Planet Earth? Snooze. OK, not really but they’re definitely not as adorable as these kids narrating Planet Earth. You’ll hear about cheeseburgers, watch a headphone struggle and see creative ways to pronounce ‘David Attenborough’.
We had just four minutes to talk tech with Sigourney Weaver, our favourite sci-fi heroine of all time. We spent a few minutes talking about the Alien universe, which you can see here. And then we talked Avatar motion capture… or ‘performance capture’ as James Cameron likes to call it. And that’s what we’ve got right here.
She’s an actor’s actor, and she’s starred in some of the greatest science fiction films of all time. With the launch of the Alien Anthology boxed set of films on Blu-ray (don’t forget you can win it now right here) we sat down with Sigourney Weaver to talk about her experience working on the Alien series. From the ’70s to the ’90s, the technology of making films, particularly science fiction, changed dramatically.
