- We're behind the scenes during the production of Alien: Covenant, where we step inside the elaborate set created for David's lair. Adam explores the details of this densely dressed set, packed with props and beautiful artwork that we only glimpsed on screen. The amount of work put into this laboratory of horrors is incredible!

Thanks for watching!
David's lair should be in a museum somewhere that is amazing.
Fucking beautiful. I hope they preserve the set-pieces somewhere.
Most of the props and drawings were probably saved, but the set itself was most likely completely destroyed. :(
Good thing they do not keep EVERY set they make.. Keeping props is understandable since you can reuse them.
HashbrownMashup My dad knows someone who owns a lot of the drawings from the set. So they kept most of the drawings.
Matthew Spencer they actually sold off majority of the drawings mate
Imagine a museum entirely filled with all set pieces and props from the whole franchise. I wouldn't mind living there for the rest of my life
David's Lair was one of my favorite parts about Covenant. The thought that a robot us humans created, was on another planet, exploring, researching, and thinking out of it's own curiosity, was simply astounding. It immersed me into his world, and made me wish I could spend hours in his lab, observing everything he has collected and researched after all those years.
skeletonboi I agree with you completely. What he had done completely blew my freaking mind. I cannot wait to see more.more, more, more, more. please?
its stupid that David was the one to create the Alien we know going forward in to the future films
It would have been more interesting to make a movie about the alien the engineers thought was a god & them trying to recreate its blood & coming up with that black liquid shit. But they wanted to make dickheads in space as a sequel.

What a really nice set. Acting in such an environment must be an awesome experience in contrast with green-screen. I always love these inside looks into the production. Thanks Tested:)
I've really appreciated Adam's coverage of Covenant, it's wonderful having a fan explore these sets with the same awe and excitement I would have.
This reminds me of Giger's studio. He had bones, books, and paintings all over his home. At first it's really morbid to look at but with all of the work in progress, it also looks sort of lively.
As a designer/art director myself, I would absolutely love to be involved in a project like this.
What do you think about the movie? Did you like it?
This set was definitely the best part of the movie, all that effort really shows.
That's where The Fingering occurred.
*A puddle of blood was discovered an hour after this comment*
this is the comment I came here for.
"Blow and I shall come."
I would rather pay money to see a film of just the artists making props for this film than the film itself.
Just give me a 2 and a half hours of the prop creation and some interviews and backstory of the artists.
Splinks Maybe something like that will be on the special features of the home release... Too bad you'll have to buy the movie anyway to get it.
True, but it seems that those features always have jumpcuts to the actors and director every minute asking what they think of the art process. It never goes in depth on the processes or the many failed alternative methods they went through to get the final design.
From what I read there isn't even a making of feature on the BluRay that's coming out...
@@forgottenalex They used to be very in-depth. In recent years, they've really cheaped out on special features. One movie stands out in my mind, having fantastic features that lasted for hours was The Matrix DVD.
well really old know but back day I was kid there something called dvd extra or special features. go menu and see how movie was mad. but seems go back words. like pac man is in buy it. natendo wee were get movie get exercise no longer for sale? it was only system thought buying I just waited to long.
I absolutely adored Alien: Covenant. The production design is right up there with some of the best I have seen. The way its shot, the lighting is amazing. Very hopeful of a third and final instalment in this series because I absolutely adored Prometheus and Covenant.
Well, this is how ads should look like :P
Super video it was nice to take a closer look at that room!
I LOVE this movie, and I know some people don't like the film. I think it's amazing!
I've never been more bored by a film filled with so much artistry. Then again, I haven't seen Ghost in the Shell yet.
Adam! You need to buy the set and make it an exhibition! PUT IT IN A MUSEUM
this vid is cool because when i saw the film i really wanted to get a closer look at this room :D
Covenant was the best alien I've seen since alien. I don't really understand what was disappointing
son0of0the0beast - How about David’s A.I. madness and the massacre of an entire alien civilization for starters.
I love how they had drawings from HR Giger.
i loved alien Covenant
Jason Young yeah me too sadly most people didn't have the intellectual capacity to appreciate the deep themes that the film brought to the table
You can understand everything in Prometheus and Covenant, the function of every spore and black goo, you can even enjoy them and still consider they are a huge mass of wasted potential.
I love it too.
But Ridley should never ever ever listen to the fans.
Ridley Scott should auction parts of the set and props
They've already been sold off.
I bet Adam got some sort of piece when he was there. If I were him I would have asked for sure!
They are still being sold. I got one of the large drawings.
SLB_ POV where can you buy them ???
Bowen Staines where can you buy them ??
Ridley gives his actors so much to work with and that comes through in his films.
I hope SO much that we'll see more new Alien movies! I loved Alien Covenant.
+The Vostro Gamer there will be no sequel, covenant didn't make enough at box office and got too many negative review/feedback
im glad about this. The movie ruined the original 2 movies enough
The box office was fine. Not a disaster by any means but likely they'd have to lower the budget if making another one. It's a strong brand that probably will see more installments even if they bomb.
The movie made over twice its budget, it just wasn't as much as Fox hoped it would make. In comparison, Prometheus made over three times its budget, while still costing 30 mill more to make then Covenant. I think we'll see a sequel to Covenant, with a smaller budget, and the success of that movie will determine whether we'll see any more.
The Vostro Gamer It was The Hollywood Reporter who wrote that Fox were reconsidering making more new Alien movies, despite the fact that the script for the new movie is complete. But it is a bit worrying, considering Ridley want to make two more prequels, leading up to Alien.
Alien: Covenant should have been a mini-series
Adam's face looks like how I feel every time I get a new tidbit about the alien movies. I wish I was him right now on that set.
I could spend hours in that lab! I sympthaize with david with his fascination with learning about life forms and trying to understand the world around me.
There should have been a solid 20 minute sequence in 'Covenant' with David killing the engineers, crashing the ship, waking up Shaw, Shaw's death in his lab and his studies on the neomorph/xenomorph & how he came to love his 'perfect creation'. Fassbender could have made that beautiful.
Conor Doyle this movie should be shorter, not longer, also part of things you mentioned was actually filmed, you can find it on UA-cam marked as Cut Content
We still haven't had a spoiler cast for covenant. Love all he behind the scenes stuff you guys have shared it gives me more enjoyment out of the film
When I watched the film all the set design, props and the smallest details made it so amazing.
Fav part of the movie was the synth-synth interaction, super interesting. The plot twist at the end was telegraphed way too much and captain was a complete dingus following David into his lair and then staring into a pod directly.
You can really share Adam's enthusiasm, he loves attention to detail
as much as we do, brilliant!
actually I was disappointed that shaw couldn't confront the engineer's home planet instead she gets turned into David's experiment.
Adams wonderment is infectious
This is probably one of the coolest part of the movie
I love to ponder why he took the time to make paper and even illuminate illustrations.
Would be nice to see a VR showcase of movie sets in the future along the blue-rays. The amount of detail is not appreciated in film form. Would be a nice add-on and would make more sense to purchase a blue-ray with something like that. IDK, you pop in the BR in the PS4, put on the VR and you immerse deeper into the story.
I wonder how many set pieces Adam jotted down to recreate? This is such a beautiful set, this is why i studied art, this is where I want to be one day, I want to create a monster that can live up with the rest of them like Godzilla, King Kong, the Xenomorphs. This is the dream!
Adam is like a favourite teacher you had school, you get caught up in his enthusiasm.
Amazing and talented people on this earth......I doff my cap to them all....
This is my favorite video that you guys have made. being a story teller my self in the music business I am captivated by this
stuff and the level of detail that is presented hear.
The room was scaled for human size, which I found odd. The giant Engineers would not have able to fit through the doors or sit on those benches. Unless David created the entire room himself (carved it out) but the age and patina of the place makes that scenario seem unlikely. Perhaps a flaw in logic on the filmmakers' part...? Amazing set decor, though!
those weren't engineers
Yes, those people werent engineers.
Absolutely amazing, love it all. The Blueray extras have some of the drawings, each one should of been scanned and added to the bonus content
Love these videos of yours Adam. You’re such a great host for this material.
Adam must have slipped a scroll or two into his pocket when the cameras aint rolling haha :P
Had to smile when I learnt that part of the movie was done in New Zealand.
Such a beautiful video :) Love Covenant and can't wait for what comes next in David's scheme!
One can imagine the huge devotion in designing these artworks and pottery !
i watched it 2 times in a row.... i dunno what to say.... this is as incredible as wonderful as admirable.... wow - sad, that so many people dislike the movie.
in Aline and alien prequels u can clearly see how much skill how much effort and dedication was put into these moovies, its sad to see that Alien fanbase is so hostile towards those moovies
PLEASE tell me they let Adam crawl all over that set for hours and he filmed it...there is so much lore and awesome craftsmanship in there. I want to see every prop, every drawing, every engraving on the wall.
I hope Adam was allowed to take some of the stuff with him. If there is one person that would appreciate it all it all it would be him.
I love all the details and textures and imagery that goes into this. Clearly everything has been thoughtfully chosen by Ridley and the creative team at 20th Century Fox, from the color scheme of the chamber to the particular handwriting on each insect specimen backing. Pity it all is taken down after photography ends; there ought to be a "Hollywood Museum of Sets", where really interesting and striking ones are saved for posterity so that the film is not all we have left of the room/setting.
My dad knows someone who owns some of those posters because he worked on the film.
Wow. What an amazing story! Go fuck yourself. K?
And I know someone who knows someone, who at the same time knows a person who could go to your house and tell you "go fuck yourself", if I ask him to do so.
John Doe Wow. What an amazing story. How about you go fuck yourself? K?
For sure there were parts of the movie that could have been made better, but Fassbender's villain is going to be looked at as amazing and a piece that held the movies together. He is doing amazing and I would just rather see more of his complex character.
Dude. I want to work there. That is like being a god, creating a world from scratch, infusing it with details. Amazed.
Adam talking about the set was a thousand times more interesting than the movies actual portrayal and dive into david and his lair.
Astounding work.
The tool holder on the table, i really want to make 1 now. Just too good not to.
this stuff makes me want to explore sets much more than i want to watch the movie, like i feel like im loosing so much not being able to BE in this room.
*I cannot believe there is no **_"Integrated Hollywood Museum"_** where all these artifacts go to rest (and be reused in sequels)*
This movie was great. Can't wait to see it again.
This is better than the movies hand down!
Why would a synthetic need paper? It has data storage, and a brain to conceptualize.
David seemed to imitate human activities even though he hated humans. So I’d say he drew them because humans would draw and paint. David really seemed to like art, poetry, and movies.
To pass knowledge?
Is it not possible to buy these original items from the filmset? If so where can i buy or get this?
thank you for this!
Love this workshop
This was alot better than the movie :)
Excellent video! Alien movies might be a little scary for us kids, but this looks cool.
This made me want to see the movie now. Good Job!!
Beautiful..
I thought the film was great, and espcially liked the set shown in this video, the attention to detail really made it seem like someone had been living there for decades.
I also think the film was very well made, it told the story of Alien very well and filled in a lot fo the gaps.
I think those who say the film is bad havent spent enough time thinking about the film and Prometheus. People who just want to watch a great 2 hour stand alone film probably wont work out Covenant.
Adam Savage : Thanks for sharing this.
I wonder where I would find some of the drawings of "davids cave" for sale? If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thank you.
Waiting to watch it
Idea for Adam's next ComiCon incognito. He takes off his glasses and goes as Ridley Scott.
Ugh soo cooool!!
How did David perform his experiments without any equipment or electricity?
I look forward to see Alien Awakening
So much fun! Amazing!
Maannnn! I wished they would have displayed David's Lair at LACMA or something:,(
Running man type music. I like it.
Both David (alien covenant) and Cole (alien4) are synthetic, but have very
different prospect each other.
I would love to be able to get my hands on some of these props after the sets are taken apart after shooting the film. Such a great part of film history!
David I Like Your Drawings
Adam - please don't touch anything...
Why do they dismantle these sets? Seems like something you would put in a film museum.
God I love this channel
Adam you lucky guy
I hope so that there will be an auction. You know what @Tested
How come you dont know what the flute is for? Have you even seen the movie?
They should of donated the set to the H.R.Giger museum
awesome!
BTW, at the end of Prometheus I thought David was separated from his head? I haven't seen the movie but I hope that was addressed.
He was, but idiot Shaw reattached it. So he wound up killing her and an entire city of Engineers.
When was this filmed when alien covenant was being shot a year or two ago? Lol could they just release these vids after the movie?
Where ARE all those fantastic props?
I wish the movie would have actually showed all that cool stuff not to mention explain and explore it..
If I was richAF, I'd buy that entire set/room and live inside it and wait for Walter to find me.
So what became of all the sets and the props?
The only thing that bothers me about the lab is that he wouldn't need to display any of the stuff he had already acquired the knowledge for being that he is a machine.
