Seconded. Motion carries?

I just wanted to post this for those of us that are building this or planning to modify the WETA prop. There are some moving parts, the circle thing spins and there are at least three LEDs. Is there anything else dynamic about this prop, other than the trigger moving?

Here are all my D9 bluray screen grabs. I'll post some more as I work on this.

Are we sure those aren't CG enhancements?

either way.

I read somewhere that there is something else that slides?

They are. If you watch the scene frame-by-frame you can see the difference in motion blur of the cut-out pieces and their tracking is not perfect.

Shouldn't be that hard to replicate.

They are.

Indeed. From Zoic Studio's website:

As one of the VFX companies on the project, Zoic Studios was tapped to design and create 30 shots including the highly complex Alien Fluid, which was based on the behavior of Ferro fluid when affected by an electrical current. The team also created explosions, weapon activations, Alien weapon trails, an armored vehicle, blood and dirt debris.
