In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. Cyborgs and synthetics exist alongside humans, but the game is changed when the Prodigy Corporation unlocks hybrids. The first hybrid prototype named Wendy marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms, which are more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.
FIN Design & Effects worked from pre-production through final delivery to create the MorrowArm, a key hero asset defining the series’ visual language. The asset appears in 300+ shots and was developed by a team of nearly 100 artists across design, modeling, rigging, lookdev, lighting, and compositing.
The arm blends mechanical and organic elements, featuring a silicone-like outer layer over hybrid internal components suspended in gel. Translucent, Giger-inspired materials with visible inner mechanics helped achieve a distinct biomechanical look while staying true to the Alien franchise’s design DNA.
Photorealism was achieved through extensive lighting and shader development, balancing opacity, transparency, and refraction across 30+ lighting environments. Actor roto-animation and digital doubles ensured accurate match-move, while CG animation restored subtle hand and finger motion limited by on-set prosthetics.
A plate-driven lighting workflow, automated simulations, and optimized rendering pipelines allowed the asset to hold up even in close-ups, with final renders averaging ~10 minutes per 4K frame.
In parallel, Fin Design & Effects also created large-scale future environments for Weyland-Yutani’s city, evolving Chicago into a near-future corporate capital using plate-extracted lighting and deep compositing.
Together, this work established the series’ visual tone — from close-up biomechanical horror to large-scale corporate futurism — delivered consistently across hundreds of shots.
