Messing’s CG tool of choice on Prometheus was Cinema 4D, from the Maxon division of Nemetschek. He also asked us to give the Pilot’s Chamber set a facelift to include a finer degree of mechanical filigree, and create additional set pieces to support specific story points in the script.” Messing produced roughly 200 unique images for the film including matte paintings, key-frame storyboards, set designs and visual effects paint-overs of final CG shots. “He wanted to convey a more believable level of scale and detail. “Ridley was very proud of the original Engineer’s spaceship (known as the Juggernaut) but he felt it looked primitive by today’s standards,” says Messing. Messing’s work on Prometheus included designing CG models for the Prologue and Juggernaut Alien spacecrafts, the Pilot Chamber set located within the Juggernaut ship and the larger Compound Mound set located on the Alien planet surface. Scott wanted to bring a contemporary visual quality that would appeal to today’s filmgoers. For the new Sir Ridley Scott film Prometheus Messing was asked to redefine and design complex set pieces originally created for the original Alien film. He created original setting for such recent movies as Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
