Aliens (1986) Directed by James Cameron
Production Design by Peter Lamont
Director of Photography: Adrian Biddle
The original director of photography was fired during the initial filming of this scene due to his insistence on over lighting a set that was supposed to be mysterious and foreboding. James Cameron found that such a lighting scheme ruined the tension of the scene and Adrian Biddle was brought in as a replacement. Biddle worked closely with Cameron’s directions and relied mostly on the lights from the marine’s costumes with little additional lighting when necessary.
