H.R. Giger has approached each of his film assignments with the same dedication he devotes to his fine art work, giving free range to his brilliant imagination and to his uncompromising artistic vision. His movie projects are examined in great detail in his book, H.R. GIGER'S FILM DESIGN, which documents the odyssey of his fantastic designs from genesis through gestation and, sometimes, to successful birth. While, only rarely, did all the elements in the collaborative process come together successfully (most notably in ALIEN and SPECIES), Giger has created some of the most successful marriages of design and film in the history of sci-fi cinema.
