CG Supervisor Matt Middleton presents the work MPC did on Prometheus at Autodesk Siggraph 2012. The video includes a large amount of never seen before previz footage and shots that the team put together for the film.
Some concept art by Ridley Scott is also featured in the presentation.
UNF!
I wouldnt put it past them... Alien 3 chestburster was made to be "Bambi" like
The production notes reveal that sharks were the inspiration though.
Damn. This is how I imagined the movie back in 09 when Ridley said he was doing Underwater research and the ALIEN HARVEST script came out.
I imagined a really swampy world, not unlike Dagobah, a swampland with ruins and weird buildings. And as our explorers got deeper into it they'd gradually realise that the swamp was morphing with strange Giger bone architecture and suddenly they'd be in a massive Giger labyrinth.

Great shot of the Deacon.
I definitely dig the greyer color more than the blue we usually see.

Thanks to Seeasea!
Please note that I'm talking only about the old derelict ship when I suggest that, not this new juggernaut thing, with Its chair next to a console, Its statues at the entrance, cryosleep chambers, the digital tech being now surprisingly present in their tech (when Jockeys were supposed to have transcended the digital era and being immersed in some sort of ultra-advanced combination of tech and flesh)., etc
I always wondered why the Jockey's suit and Giger's alien body are almost..., identical?, lol, did they engineer their own suits to gain life at some point or something?
Also, to have discovered that the chair was not used to create the aliens and to produce eggs but only to pilot the ship has been a little bit..., dissapointing. But well, I supposed Giger's twisted (and superior to anything seen in Prometheus) vision of the things and original concept of everything related to "Alien" was too much for these retards behind Prometheus to handle, or even, to fully understand and then portray to a movie.
What a dissapointment of a movie, seriously. And in the end when they leave the planet onboard another Derelict ship..., rofltrololol to that
In case anybody is wondering, that's David Levy's work.

159 just seems to be the Michael Jackson issue, I don't know how they suddenly switch everything over to Michael Jackson like that and have it as the same magazine, that was the thing that confused me.
Here's the address and phonenumber https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nv6lS1TNzNM/UD9RC6_WyyI/AAAAAAAADMs/LdZQuj-Xmqg/s400/IMG_0001.jpg
I've just found their e-mail address. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bOof4Tt4puM/UD9NOoYlC7I/AAAAAAAADKo/zpzEF6lP15I/s200/sfxemail.jpg
and the website cesar-editions.com is still being built so it says on the webpage
another image, this time of the hammerpede
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rtsE_cHNN9g/UD9NN5FLalI/AAAAAAAADKk/scdDa-I0r64/s400/hammerpede.jpg
These images are just from issue 158 or also from 159?
I think the new one has just come out of that magazine and they don't seem to have a back issue department anymore for some reason let alone an official site
So I suppose people will be scouring for old copies as ebay.fr and priceminister.com
Lars I've sent you a link in your messages box to what I thought were two issues sold together, but I was completely wrong. My apologies, they had two issues of the magazines sold together during June and July
Do you know where I can order my issue?
I have trouble finding an official site for the mag.
Oh my dear lord god of the heavens, I shall forever thank you for zooming in and uploading these all.
It's interesting that they seemed to use a lot of arthropods as reference.
well, here is everything in the background, minus the scans of pages from Giger's Alien

The animatronic within the baby trilo may be the closest that squid has ever gone to being Gigery.
To see larger versions of the images modify the s value in the URL to something like s1600 because you're likely to get the image as big as it comes as the uploaded file

Hate is a strong word. But I do struggle to understand what Ridley was thinking. I'd love to hear how he arrived at his choices in his own words so I can have a little film maker perspective.
And I really do hope there is an extended cut down the road. I keep thinking of Kingdom of Heaven when I saw it in the theater and thought ... meh ... then saw the extended cut and was pretty much blown away by how much better it actually was.
I agree completely.
Yup. There's some beautiful imagery in Prometheus but a lot of it is wasted potential.
Ikarop, I never noticed that before. U may be on to something!
It always reminded me of an adult version of this proto-hugger. The head looks almost the same to me.
