I am new to the forums, and new to the world of CG artistry in general. I am currently working on a short film involving, as a central character, an Alien creature which exudes light through its scales, glowing from inside of its body. The producers and I have been discussing the best options for bringing this to life, and it was suggested I pose the question to these forums for a wider range of informed opinion.
We are debating the pro’s and con’s of either a) making the creature through practical make-up effects on an actor and either building lights into the make-up or adding them later in post, or b) making a full-sized puppet again with lights built in or added later or c) creating the entire creature in CG. Naturally the most financially conservative option is desired, but we are unsure as to how much time and money these various concepts would involve, and therefore any information, opinion or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
