[Corporal Hicks]

“On the set of the upcoming Alien: Covenant, Adam Savage learns about the array of prop guns and knives used in filming by production armorist John Bowring! Adam then stops by the breakaway effects department to see how the various alien, human, and synthetic bloods and fluids are made and used to great effect on screen!”

Nice Vid, good to see some more of the "quarry" set and close-ups of the weaponry.

Adam Savage is like a little kid in a candy store but good to see he knows about trigger discipline.

What are the chances of finding a Banksy this far from Earth?

Engineer street art confirmed!

These people seem to love their jobs. Very good sign for the quality of the movie!

Ahaha... I bet you these hooligans were responsible.

Look at this

SPOILEER!!!

Probably just concept art. But yeah,

Spoiler

Shaw is experimented on so she should look something like that, right?

Also, you can clearly see the engineer corpses are bigger than humans.

Yes, its a concept art, but concept art is made following the screenplay instructions and requirements (plot).
I never said those guys on Paradise are not the Engineers, I said that they are not the same group we ve  seen in Prometheus.

[Corporal Hicks]

The set reports mentioned a piece of concept art that looked like that. 

Also, I love how they didn't blur those images but blurred something behind the fx guys.

Yeah, someone mentioned that Gigeresque drawing of Shaw during the press set visits. Nice catch Enoch.

I see there was some other stuff that was deliberately blurred out in the video.

So there are even bigger surprises...

Yeah I know, but that doesn't mean this is exactly how it looks in the film. It will definitely look similar, but not 100% the same. 

Oh and my comment about the engineers wasn't directed at you, it was just an observation.

[Denton Smalls]

Man I hope they made a purchasable rifle prop like they do for the pulse rifles.

Where was the traditional yellowish xeno blood? Are we meant to think that the Aliens in this bleed black?

[Infected]

Adam is king.

I hope he made a selfie at the engineer genocide stairs.

[Corporal Hicks]

While I love the AUG and understand them wanting to make it less futuristic than the Pulse Rifle, I'm still a little miffed they didn't try harder to disguise the props they used.
