Dennis Lowe Documentaries
Posted by Darkness on July 18, 2010 (Updated: 30-Jul-2011)
These documentaries were filmed and made by Dennis Lowe. Dennis was a SFX Assist (Model Camera) on the original Alien and also worked on SW – Empire Strikes back, Legend and many other great films. One of his many hobbies is making documentaries and recently Dennis interviewed other people who also worked on Alien to share their memories and experiences and working with Ridley Scott and on Alien in general. There are not studio documentaries and have not been aired on TV. These were made by Dennis himself with his own equipment and are non profit films. I’ve included download links for all the documentaries.

Alien Makers III (43 mins)
H.R. Giger created one of the great iconic symbols of the cinema for the film ‘Alien’, here he talks about his work and the future of his projects including his Museum and Giger Bar at Gruyeres, Switzerland. This documentary was removed from Dennis Lowe’s website because Giger was apparently unhappy with it.
