Over the last few years Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. has been sharing some very cool behind-the-scenes videos from their work on Alien 3, Alien Resurrection and the Alien vs. Predator films to their studioADI YouTube channel.
Following on from a recent video showing the filming of the flashback scenes from Paul Anderson’s Alien vs. Predator, studioADI have released another AvP video showing behind-the-scenes on the filming of Scar blooding himself and a close-up segment of big Celtic vs. Grid fight during the middle of the film.
“A quick trip through the pyramid stage on the set of ALIEN VS PREDATOR reveals a near naked Ian Whyte being suited up as the Predator. This guy kicked ass! Also some behind-the-scenes coverage of Tom Woodruff, Jr. operating the insert Alien head with the working inner mouth and while Lance Henriksen and Sanaa Lathan await their cues.”
Be sure to head on over to the studioADI YouTube channel and check out all the other behind-the-scenes videos that have been uploaded. In addition to their work with Alien and Predator, there’s also plenty of videos from ADI’s involvement with other films.
I would also recommend checking out their War Crimes videos in which Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr discuss in detail their work on the later Alien films and the reasoning behind some of the controversial design choices.

Raoh76, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo told ya so.
So why is it that so many movies put their best material in a flashback and throw it away? Make the movie the flashback!
I dont mind the idea of ancient astronauts in fiction, like with prometheus. I just didnt like the idea of it being the predators. Having them guide our early civilizations wasnt something i liked or wanted regarding their lore. Otherwise i really enjoyed the armor and weapon designs even if the effects looked a little fake.
The sets were also great. I do think the film could have been amazing with some slight changes in, setting, tone, and execution.
Other than that it was one of the best scenes in the film.
I always had a soft spot for that von Daniken thing - I blame Stargate - so that never really bothered me. That said, there's no denying how cool those sets looked. I'm sure they could have made an awesome spaceship or colony set for that film. They did such a great job with the cash they had.
Looks like ADI has been and will continue to release these kind of things. We'll endeavour to give them better coverage too.
Janky plot elements aside, I'm with you on the new weapons, armor, etc.
I genuinely don't believe it added a single thing worthwhile, but each to their own.
