"can i touch?"
"yeah, *it's perfectly safe* "
I'm so glad practical effects are becoming more used again
schmiddy1998 it's a shame barely any of the practical effects in this video actually made it in
Really ? Because I only found Xenomorphs and rare few occasional things to actually be CG.
Most of the sets are practical and reflect fairly well in the movie.
Yes,but they just used the practical xenomorph as reference for the cgi model,so you aren't going to be seeing it in the film
They're using both.
TheEmperorSRB the sets and the ships when they are on land are practical as well as the eggs and the facehugger in one shot but pretty much every shot of the alien in the final film is CG
Holy fuck. The design for the first evolution of the Facehugger looks fucking freaky compared to the later evolution stage.
Who said anything about Prometheus? He was talking about the facehugger in this video, at 4:33. And "Not even remotely related" isn't just an overstatement, it's wrong. The entire premise of Prometheus was showing that all of these creatures originated from the same source, AKA, they're 100% related.
Where were there eggs in Prometheus? The only thing shown on the ship is the cylinders of the black goo (which, in Spaihts' original script, _would_ have been eggs, but then they got Lindeloffed....)
So picking apart a fictional universe is now an intelligence test? People can be such jerks sometimes. Beam me up, Chewbacca.
I know right? The later ones remind me more of a crab/crustacean or something of that sort. The one they show here looks way more insectile and "bristly", limbs all curled up like every long-legged dead bug or spider I've ever come across.
NoSleepForCranky "I'll have the Xenomorph lobster special, with a side order of Alien eggs surprise, please."
Stoner thought: the people are actually the aliens in the movie because It's not their planet they're visiting.
Kookoocachoo bruh
Kookoocachoo Mind Fuck
Further your comment: David kills the native people on that planet he visits. Kind of like a UFO visiting our planet and blowing it the fuck up
Question What You Fear
Yeah you right. Because everyone in America is stoned lol
Mind blown
Adam's knowledge in the industry and how he can relate to all the artists is so satisfying to watch.
I love how happy Damian Martin looks when talking about his craft. They worked really well together with Adam:)
only 8 minutes. not long enough !!!!!
this stuff is amazing
Jake buy the Prometheus Special Edition BluRay, it has 3hours+ of behind the scenes stuff like this ;)
clrscr Prometheus documentry was far more intelligent and fascinating than the movie itself.
Whoa, these sets are insane scale. Rain probably gave a more natural texture and finish. 😱 One of my favorite films this year.
6:52 that's a nice microphone u got there
LOL. much self-kicking was probably done when they loaded the interview into the NLE.
Aye, it looked like a little dark storm cloud settling on Jamie's head to start a thunder storm @7:17... Lol.
Never noticed that until I check this time stamp.
Who's head??
Glad someone else noticed
Loving these behind the scenes. Great to see Adam get all excited over the props and models
Practical effects are my favorite parts about horror creature features. Cant wait to see all this hard work pay off in Alien: Covenant.
people just don't make movies like they used to and that's why I respect Ridley Scott so much
Marauder1981 No, he respects Ridley Scott because he, unlike others, still makes movies like he used to.
@jarmo. he doesn't. he will never be able to make something as good as blade runner or alien again
Harri I'm talking about the disgusting overuse of CGI in movies. I love seeing am actual set.
i wish i were adam right about now lol, i would LOVE to be on sets like this filming and getting to see this kind of stuff
Amazing content. I love the questions Adam makes to the creators. This is great stuff to watch and learn a lot.
I'd like to own one of those facehugger eggs. It would be a fine prop to have somewhere at home. It would be even cooler if they're mechanical so they open and close when you press a button.
TheEmperorSRB like a jack in the box but a face hugger jumps out and scares the person 😂😂
It opens slowly, just like in the movies, and just when they thought it's done, a spring pushes a facehugger flying out.
Oh boy I'd love that. That would be marvelous.
I wouldn't be able to sleep!
the movies is great
once again, the audience that went to the theather looking for another Aliens will be disappointed
if you want a great sequel to Prometheus you will love the new movie
Personally I don't expect anything other than a great film, considering the money and experience and expertise that goes into making them, but Prometheus certainly was not a great film and if this is on the same level then I don't have much hope for it either :( Terrible script and story in Prometheus
Dimitri Bitu the alien part feels tacked on, I do wish the studio hadn't pandered to fans to add a xenomorph in it. but that aside the characters in the film itself does many dumb things tbh
Really? I thought the movie failed at being both a good old-school Alien movie and a good Prometheus sequel. Mostly because it tried too much to be both at the same time.
@LJZ SMZ > The lazy script and the underdeveloped and weird-decision taking characters didn't help either...
Sorry for the super late reply, but I do kinda feel that this is Scott's version of Aliens. There's a lot more action, the creatures get a deep dive for their their creation, soldiers play a prominent role, there's an alien that sneaks aboard the starship and attacks after everyone thinks they're safe.
Not slamming the film at all, but I do feel like it has a lot of commonality.
I do love the attention to detail that Ridley puts into his films by using as much practical effects as possible. It's all too easy to make films a full on cgi fest, but seamlessly blending them into practical effects and miniature models is what makes sci fi looking so realistic. Thanks for this Adam and the Tested gang.
Loving the discussion on how Ridley Rolls with the punches regarding it having rained on set during what was essentially a "making of" video from Adam, and then by the time we came to this set in the movie torrential rain set in - because although the scenes, especially when calling for Backup popped with the rain, so many aspects were re-written on the fly to compensate. There is a Creator of all Creators.
You need to make these videos into an hour special, or two hours. I love this stuff.
Cool
Holy shit your here, big fan
To Adam, this were the most comprehensive review of Behind The Scences
These are excellent. Top-notch interviewing that manages to show respect to the artists working on A:C, while not losing the audience in technical jargon. Well done.
I love this movie, almost as good Alien and Aliens.
Guess I'm watching Prometheus, Covenant, and Alien today.
these videos have gotten me more hyped for the movie than the trailers
Ridley Scott is so awesome. You definatly need practical effects with the visual effects if you want a more realistic feel.
Ridley wants big sets so he doesn't have to put children in spacesuits anymore.
Thank God for Tested and Adam Savage, i died a little bit when mythbusters ended, but This honestly could be exactly what was needed after the show. Its limitless
Adam you're so lucky.
well, he worked all his life to get there
Most people work all their lives, and are not there. Therefore, he is lucky.
Ever since he was a lil facehugger
Bonzulac wrong. Most people work aimelessly just to get payed.Adam, on the other hand, he took his passion and made it his job.See, that's not luck. That's self confidence and a shit-ton of work.
Adam worked hard, just like everyone else who does what he does, but he lucked into hosting a television show, and now he gets to do this. He would agree with me.
I have zero interest in any Alien movies, but I'm such a sucker for all this behind the scenes stuff, it's making me want to go watch it just to see how it all turned out. So congratulations Fox, your marketing is working.
This is the perfect combination of intellectual enthusiasm, intriguing perspective, and effective advertising exposure, by a familiar, well established, pop culture personality.
Keep making these tested videos on movies and movie props Adam as they are very good to watch
Love the way this director choose to use a lot of practical effects. I think this help the actors and the production team to empathize with the story and this fake world that the movie is creating, so everyone can perform better and really understand what they are doing
I could watch these all day
I'm really hoping 3D printing makes practical effects more common again. This is awesome.
Wow that's fantastic. Wether the films good or not these behind the scenes videos have given me a respect for the production and I'll love the film more for it
so stoked for this movie
Joey Cabrera It's garbage friend
GamercastMMs Well you have no taste either
GamercastMMs Yeah
I love how english he is. I never notice the american accent until I near them talk to someone from my home land :)
Can we have 5 straight hours of this? Stuff's incredible. Better than watching the movie for some (myself included).
In camera baby!
Covenant was SUPERB!
That giant hovering platform @2:31would make a good amusement ride for some carnival or theme park...
So they create a beautifully crafted practical Xenomorph, just so they can scan it and use a CGI model in the film? :/
Totoro apparently so. Because the creature is all CG in the movie. Sad
Lol why would they build puppets and suits, to not use them? They use CG versions for heavy action scenes, where the entire creature is moving and jumping on screen. For close ups and non-action scenes, they use the practical versions.
Beautiful? It looks like fucking ass.
I've seen fan made suits that look better. The suits in AVP looked better.
The original Big Chap looked better! In 1979! How?!?!
The answer is simple, they don't care. The animatronics look bad, the suit looks faker than the original.
Jasper Moore There are a number of close-ups of the aliens in the movie. None of them looked practical. In this video they said they were making models to scan in to the computer. Also, what seems to happen a lot these days is they attempt some practical shots, but decide to go with CGI in the end. The same thing happened in the Thing prequel (2011). Just because they spend a shit load of time and money making models, it doesn't mean they will appear in the final cut. Anyway, it's pointless arguing about it. We can wait until everyone has seen the movie and they can see for themselves how the alien effects were done.
Jasper Moore, they managed to do heavy action/motion scenes in Aliens without resorting to CGI.
regarding the sound effects, i found funny that for the hisses/growls of the classic Alien, sounds from Alien:Isolation were used :)
I could have watched two hours of this :D
3:20, even Ridley looked shocked when he said that 😂😂 well timed 👌🏻 good job editor 👍🏻
What a wonderful creative undertaking.
The xenomorph chin in the top right of the last section was very menacing.
Fun seeing our very own "familiar object" (Adam) on such a strange set. Sure, CG is great-- especially when needing to place the people. But it always comes down to people. So the story always gets in close. (And when I say 'people' I mean any people analog including people!)
thank you for not filtering the sound
i love the monster-facehugger desing, i can't imagine what kind of creature could born of him!!
This movie reminds me a lot of The Thing (2011) wherein they had really cool practical effects that we smothered in a shit layer of CGI. I don't understand the logic behind it.
4:10 - They should have rigged it so as soon as he touched it slime and an alien baby shot out.
so much effort is put in the special effects. wonder why such effort wasn't put in the story itself
How ironic that even practical props are now computer generated through 3D printing.
still have to sculpt those digitally- a pretty similar feeling to sculpting irl. At least with zbrush, mudbox, ect
If by "computer generated" you mean "hand sculpted (in Zbrush or whatever soft they using) by experienced artists and then physically assembled by other artists" then yes that's correct, although not particularly ironic, because this is all artistic work.
People need to realize 3d printing doesn't make these...it's a great tool...but a tool nonetheless.
KlingonCaptain if they look better and work easier why not. It's a movie not a high school art project.
My opinion, we are getting too reliant on computer assisted design and printers over hand work, it is just the same issue we had with Digital Effects. Such a shame. Bad enough to see the practical make-up and creature effects get pushed aside, now the prop making? Lame. And for all those digital art promises, you still need practical skills to make it work & look good.
Where does all the practical effects go after the film. Is there just a room full of xenomorph heads and eggs.
Lewis Wright have you seen the movie "night in the museum" guess what alian editie!
It's either scrapped, put somewhere in storage if they plan to maybe use it at some time in the future, or occasionally even sold.
Alien is the only horror/ scary series I enjoy; not a fan of any other scary films, so seeing this, I am unbelievably stoked for Alien Covenant to arrive!!
wow..i only realized now how epic 3d printing is going to GET!
That's so cool! What an inside look!
It looks really good. Looks epic!
I'm so happy they're getting back into practical effects, and the best of both worlds now using practical and CG is way better than one or the other, great that 3D printing is making the practical, more practical hoho!
I like this Behind the scenes of movies. Maybe Adam could do some Blu-ray Extra features for the effects for movies.
Glad I saw this in theaters
Even though I love CGI, I am glad directors nowadays are combining visual effects with practical effects in their movies.
*I am glad that practical effects experience this revival.* The skill, the mastery, the craft, should not be lost. CGI will not surprise me until it will be able to fool me with a fake person that I will totally confuse for a real one.
Watching this on Tuesday, I can't wait. I'm a huge alien fan. Still get a little chill, thinking about to when I saw the first one in the theaters.
loved the film ,onwards and upwards to the next one please
Adam should make the suitcase-stamp from antisocial as a oneday build!
Hi Adam, Wow .... if I would have not seen these episodes on Alien Covenant I would have thought much of the FX was computer generated. Click, copy and paste such as; that space-flying machine, the dead aliens etc...wow! I am excited to see this film!
Adam rocking that Nick Valentine from Fallout 4 look.
Unpopular opinion apparently: They use the practical models as a reference for actors on set and later as a lighting reference for animators converting the practical model to a computer generated model. I think it really does make the creatures look really good. As much as people love practical models, CG really makes them feel more alive. Its like Yoda in Star Wars, the puppet looked better but the animated model felt more alive and like a real character.
i think the reason he does it is because the reaction from the cast is more realistic with this kind of set
This movie still hasn't reached my part of the world yet, and I really want to see it! Mind you with its weak opening box-office weekend, will there be another one?
Now if Ridley would only spend that much time and effort on the screenplay...
Such fantastic sets and props, too bad the movie wasn't better...
I always wondering and amaze with Scott Ridley Spaceship and Spacesuit designed...
how they build spaceship especially interior which is so detail?
why is everyone so fixated on what the alien looked like? It looked big, mean and scary, what else do you need? Plus, that back burster! Sweet jumping jesus that was brutal, kudos to those effect folks
Just saw it,Great scary Alien film.
Martin Manic Parkes which part was scary??
Not telling you,you'll have to watch it to find out....
Martin Manic Parkes I saw it last weekend. Aliens and Aliens had intense and scary tones to them. This one....none.
Nah sorry chap this had as much scary scenes as Aliens definitely .Think we will just have to say that film is objective and it's all about opinions .
Martin Manic Parkes I just saw it and was relatively disappointed, I liked the sets and the David storyline was interesting but apart from the beginning the film was pretty much tensionless for me
Love to have Adam's job, he look like a kid in a candy store.
Good thing there's a smart man who likes the same stuff I do,I've been waiting for this movie comes out tommorrow
Wish they would have shown more than just the one set and the one egg.
6:52 on the mic is in the shot. really cool interview.
I'm a fan of CGI. Good CGI is as hard, if not harder to make compared to practical effects. They are also costly too. So I don't get why people get upset when filmmakers use CGI. I'm not paying money to watch practical props. I'm paying to watch a good piece of story and if CGI can help get the job done then I'm all for it.
leonghk12 ruins the immersion, especially in a creature horror. you can feel the true horror of seeing something that looks like it exists in the real world, because in practical it actually does. when you use full CG your brain immediately picks up that all we're seeing is a computer animation
The thing with practical effects is that they kind of limit your possibilities, especialy regarding movement. Covenant is the first movie where you can see the aliens move freely, i think that's cool. In the first 4 movies I could never quiet figure out if the alien where supposed to move like humans, animals, monkeys, insects... it always looked a bit off.
Zoomat4 seeing the alien move freely and and jumping around in full view is what made it not scary anymore, you're only seeing a computer animation running around. it's much creepier when you're left to wonder and use your imagination
Aldrich Hezekiah Yeah but that was the point in Covenant the xenomorph is supposed to be not as scary because it's not the real bad guy anymore, Scott is kind of killing the Alien's myth to push the prometheus' plot. I think it's being close minded to think that cgi cannot be scary, done right they totally can. I thought the neomorph were super freaky.
Zoomat4 CGI can be scary, but here they failed.do you have any sources of Ridley Scott actually saying the reason the alien was full CG was because he was Killing the alien myth. if that was the reason then he just ruined one of the most iconic creatures of all time and really wasted giger's hardwork
Freud would have a field day in that prop room.
Saw this movie a week ago, pretty awesome.
so thats how movies are made cool and a great video
Hi Adam. New subscriber. This vid is amazing! I'm a massive Alien fan. Can't get enough. Thanks sir.
If only they'd put this much effort into the script.
fascinating, simply fascinating.
Computer generated sucks period.
The film Alien, in a word, EPIC!
Nothing comes remotely close to it in the annuals of science fiction based artistry. HR Giger's creation is absolutely the best ever alien. The use of CGI should be to enhance prototypical shots. Not replace them altogether.
Everything came together in Alien. The director, producer, actors & actresses, special effects, musical score......EVERYTHING!
It stands as the finest example of cinematic photography and story telling.
👽
I'd love an ALIEN movie this year. that'd be cool
I think in this case, everything around this film is better than film itself =D
Very, very well done commercial, it's a non-bulshit, non-fake authentic content just right for tested audience. It reveleas what's behind the scene and hype up for the movie....more of these....accually valuable commercial content, not much of those can be seen today :)
Great behing the scenes. Keep doing it ;)
Btw anyone else slightly creeped out by the boom?! Almost like a silhouette of a xenomorph head creeping into the shot lol
I'd love to see Adam do a build on a xenomorph costume for cosplay.
I think the mic handler was falling asleep at 6:42
Loving this stuff Adam!
I'm tired of people talking about how better practical is over CG. These things don't make or break a story.
