Adam Savage Explores David's Lair in Alien: Covenant

We're behind the scenes during the production of Alien: Covenant, where we step inside the elaborate set created for David's lair. Adam explores the details of this densely dressed set, packed with props and beautiful artwork that we only glimpsed on screen. The amount of work put into this laboratory of horrors is incredible!

David's lair should be in a museum somewhere that is amazing.

David's Lair was one of my favorite parts about Covenant. The thought that a robot us humans created, was on another planet, exploring, researching, and thinking out of it's own curiosity, was simply astounding. It immersed me into his world, and made me wish I could spend hours in his lab, observing everything he has collected and researched after all those years.

Fucking beautiful. I hope they preserve the set-pieces somewhere.

What a really nice set. Acting in such an environment must be an awesome experience in contrast with green-screen. I always love these inside looks into the production. Thanks Tested:)

I've really appreciated Adam's coverage of Covenant, it's wonderful having a fan explore these sets with the same awe and excitement I would have.

This set was definitely the best part of the movie, all that effort really shows.

This reminds me of Giger's studio. He had bones, books, and paintings all over his home. At first it's really morbid to look at but with all of the work in progress, it also looks sort of lively.

As a designer/art director myself, I would absolutely love to be involved in a project like this.

[TaffiLouis]

That's where The Fingering occurred.

I absolutely adored Alien: Covenant. The production design is right up there with some of the best I have seen. The way its shot, the lighting is amazing. Very hopeful of a third and final instalment in this series because I absolutely adored Prometheus and Covenant.

There should have been a solid 20 minute sequence in 'Covenant' with David killing the engineers, crashing the ship, waking up Shaw, Shaw's death in his lab and his studies on the neomorph/xenomorph & how he came to love his 'perfect creation'. Fassbender could have made that beautiful.

Super video it was nice to take a closer look at that room!

I would rather pay money to see a film of just the artists making props for this film than the film itself.
Just give me a 2 and a half hours of the prop creation and some interviews and backstory of the artists.

[trevormaine]

I've never been more bored by a film filled with so much artistry. Then again, I haven't seen Ghost in the Shell yet.

Adam! You need to buy the set and make it an exhibition! PUT IT IN A MUSEUM

[karlzobok]

Well, this is how ads should look like :P

[roybatty-]

Ridley gives his actors so much to work with and that comes through in his films.

[paulaburrows]

Adam is like a favourite teacher you had school, you get caught up in his enthusiasm.

[serenitymetal]

I love how they had drawings from HR Giger.
