Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum, thought you might wanna check out a teaser for my upcoming AVP short film titeled "Redemption".
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=goa0t9wdzsw
Only opening shots up to the "Action" part are final shots, the rest are just some tests i did before start shooting. i'll be putting a website together, with updates on a project, stills from a new shots and posters.
Enjoy.
really nice, but the aliens are wierd, i suggest you to made a predator only film... really
Best of luck to you on your production, looks amazing.
all of the "fast action" shots were just a simple tests, final shots with aliens will look completly different, here is a little test i did a few days ago its a little bit better idea of what aliens will look like in this movie.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone to do a film like this. This is real Predator and CGI environment, right?
yeah, invironment 100% CG created in maya, i just started to learn it a month ago, so i'm trying to make it as real as i can :)
Predator and some props were shot on green screen, all home made (card board, duck tape, and a lots of hours )
Yeah, I'm familiar with the technique. Looks pretty cool for only a months work. Did you do all the ships and etc too?
There you go frankaster, the aliens look a-spec now.
Damn that was awsome.
Like I said in the email, it looks very good so far. The alien test shot looks a lot better too.
Little update on the process: 18 shots are completed all including CG and color correction, I also finished a story boards for the Alien fight ( total body count is 9 ), will start shooting in about 2 weeks, should have enough money saved up to rent a green screen and the crane by than :)
You guys will not be desapointed :) my Predator will be Really mean to the Aliens .
I only have one word for this: Beautiful
For the love of God, make this film. Don't let anything stop you.
My only complaint is that the aliens seem so light, and the person in the Predator suit should act like there is actually something on him when an alien attacks.
But freaking awesome!
Is the predator's face CG?
Mod- is that the predator mask sold at the time of AVP? You know, the big floppy one?
:) Guys , once again don't worry about look of the aliens in the teaser, alien shots were just some old tests i did, more recent test and the way aliens are gonna look can be seen here:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BU5emjK3MuI
I will make this film no matter what , but its a "no budget" film so it will take awhile, i think it will be finished around summer time.
thanks again for the support.
That's good. Still, some problems with the test.
It seems fluid, which can be good, but I think it needs a little more weight.
Also, that pred mask. When I saw the trailer, I thought it was CG because of the movement and coloring. I just think it needs to be darker, that's all.
How did you get the pred costume?
And how did you do the shot of him falling from above? Will he cloak in this?
Unfortunatelly i couldnt afford a high quality mask so i bought one of thous AVP big masks for $50 and had to do some modifications to make it smaller and adding dradlocks. The jump was done in After effects, i panned camera from the roof down and when i was approaching the ground level i had friend of mine wearing a costume jump up as high as he could an land, than i took a still frame of him in the air and composited in to the scene when i was panning from the roof, as soon it reached predator i removed a still frame and switched to actual shot of him landing. Added shadow and motion blur, thats it. The costume was home made for halloween originally, its made of card board carefully covered with duck tape, all the details were also made of card board glued together and covered with duck tape, than the whole thing was painted with metallic spray paint (hammered metal ), than i went to my friends place and used his airbrush to paint the shadows, than with regular small brush i painted damage marks and rust. Body suite has just a "long Jones" thermal uderware which was spray painted, and i used a velcro to hold a shoulder pieces.
In this film Predator will be using Cloacking device :)

Would you be able to repaint the face to add depth?
Man, I have a camera, a greenscreen, Adobe Premiere, and Maya, but I am not able to do what you just did.
Any reason the aliens are CG? They also have masks for those. Well, they aren't good, but they can be tweaked.

Wow, looks awesome. You the same guy that did Alex vs Predator, cause I can see shots of that in the teaser.
yes, I did Alex versus predator as a test 2 years ago, i used a few shots as a temp filler, couse i dont have any action or fight scenes shot yet. :)
Not keen on the AvP Alien design. :-\
Best looking fan stuff for AvP I think I've seen. My complaints are the Predator's movement, build, and costume quality (namely the helmet). And as others suggested, the temporary Aliens aren't so hot. But for a no-budget film, I'm amazed. Can't wait to see the final product. :)

But cmon, for a fan film.
I got 5 more shots completed with cg environment. web site is on the way, and i'll be releasing a short slide show with new stills :)
As for predator moves, he will be moving differently more hunter like when he is in unknown environment on the mission (but not in his own ship ) i wish i could get a better costume, but this one i made myself, so i'll try te use it the best i can :)
cheers.
I must admit I'm really looking forward to this! Whats the basic plot?
well the details of the plot is a secret, but the basic story line goes like this:
Predator character is an outcast , a lonely scout , looking for a mission worthy of a redemption in the yes of his clans elder. He finds an abandoned spaceship drifting in space, and going to check it out .
It's definitely got alot of potential, I like the way you introduced the trailer with the predator text against the space & distorted backgrounds, that was great. As for the actual fights & battles...the aliens look like they just fly through the air when they get hit. It looks a little strange to be honest, but considering that you're probably working with a limited budget, it's understandable. Some great work with the CG & use of the AVP music, it was put together really well, & I'll definitely watch the final film once it's finished.
Hey everyone , i've just posted first poster for AVP-redemption in to "Fan Art" section under alien- predator artwork section, it should appear there any time now.
Enjoy ;)
looks quite promecing this will be one of the greatest fan films in a while like S.E.E.D that was a pretty good one
S.E.E.D may have been good, but the story was just all over the place, you couldn't understand just what the hell was going on.
i agree, Seed was really bad in fact, awesome costumes locations, props and pyrotecnics, the rest was horrable. they had a huge potential, huge crew, nice equipment, professional costumes and free labor :) and they coldnt do anything good with it. How ever i give them credit for deadication and for trying to make a cool film.
cheers.

The effects were good, but the acting story directing cinematography and editing were SH!^
S.E.E.D. had potential, & the way they tied the storyline in with the Roswell crash was cool...but once it got into the thick of the action, I didn't have a clue what was going on. There were predators killing humans, aliens killing humans, predators fighting aliens...predators fighting predators, all while the camera was having a seizure. What a wasted opportunity.
The editing was awful in S.E.E.D and it made no sense. It was just a glorified real life RPG for them.

Hey guys i've just posted 3 more posters for AVP-Redemption in "Alien-Predator Artwork" gallery.
Enjoy.
Alex.
I guess D hasn't approved them yet. :(
This definatley looks promosing, i think we all appreciate your work
hey hard core Predator fans, i need some input from you, i'm getting ready to shoot a scene in which my main predator character communicates with the Elder predator. i have a few ideas on how Predator native language will sound like, but i would like to hear your ideas on it , i'm always open for a cool ideas. :)
cheers
You could have the Predator speak his lauguage into his wrist computer, slap in a few codes and then it plays back in the Elder's mask/screen or wherever he happens to be.
i got their communication devices already done, it will be something like a hologram screen in front of control panel, something like in AVPr i just posted a snap shot of what the cabin will look like , and the screen will be projected right in front of the chair. but i need some input on how Predators speech will sound like vocally . check out the screen shot in AVP artwork.
Cheers
hey guys, any sugestions on how Predators speech should sound like?
I thought it was all the clicking noises they make. ^ :-\
yeah, but you always thought the clicking is mostly to show their emotions, and yes, predators do click a lot, i guess they are very emotional :-[
but their speech i thought should sound kind of like "jabba the hutt" but more throaty/clicky/vibraty, with clicking mixed in.
Any thoughts?
I don't think you should have any talking between Predators. It's just a recipe for bad.
Yeah, I think you should just stick with the clicking. I mean if you've seen the cutscene from the game Concrete Jungle, you've got Scarface and the Elder 'discussing' his mission. Yet they're only clicking to each other.
hey guys, i just got back home after 12 hour day of shooting AVP-R, got some eyepopping stuff
:) finally shot a few fight scenes, using daggers and spear. i have one more day to shoot a predator scenes and additional day to shoot an alternative opening scene for extended edition that will feature some human characters.
As for the Predator speech, it is a very short scene bt very important, so they must talk , i need to check out a scene from "concrete jungle" for the reference, it deffenetly will be most of it clicking.
cheers.
It's the cutscene at the start of the 2nd level by the way. ^
Awsome!! could any make some pics of that ship???
awesome video clip, its funny that i have in my story boards the same ecene when predator falls through the celing on the floor, now i have some good reference.
Hey guys i've just posted a new clip of Alien fight test for "AVP-Redemption", the live-action footage is from the 12 hour shoot i did last Saturday.
check it out:
It's good, but the alien doesn't look like it struggles. Like when you catch it by the neck, it doesn't try to pull its neck away.
When have you ever seen an Alien pull away from being choked? ;)
well the idea for this shot, was that alien is trying to get the predator no matter what, probably using its hands to scratch him, i might put some sparks flying . :-\
Personally, I think the timing is an issue. Rearrange the shots of the wrist blades coming out before the Alien jumping. I think you should go for an MCU with a better shot of the struggle. See the Alien use it's tail or something. You don't want AvPR style fights.
Otherwise great job! Love the lighting and set.

Very Nice film you're putting together here,I think you shouldn't use the AVP Alien noises and the aliens should fight back ,those are my only gripes :)
The Set will be different , more like a corridor, with some sort of reactor at the end, the sequense and timing of this shots will be a little bit different, there are few times when predator gets hit, so yes, there will be "Predator" blood. :) the fight style will be kind of shaky, but i'll try to make it not as shaky as AVP, i will have a few Slow Motion moments, Everyone who saw 300 will apriciate it ;) fight scenes will have a few funny moments when predator will get kind of mean to the Aliens, This video i put together last night to give you guys some idea to what direction im heading to.

At least in AVP-R, they wiggled.
Hey Alex, how are things coming?
hey everyone, little update on a project its going very well, i have finished modeling a predator's space ship, i tried to stay true to the original design from the first movie with a touch of my own design :) the pilot chair scenes are done complete with hologram screen and so on, as far as predator character there is a huge improvement, now his face is 100% CG and fully animated :) looks cool , in fact i'm planning to post a screen shot of one of the scenes where you can see his face it will be in AVP artwork section. Im editing Alien fight right now a shot where alien looses his hand than leg than the head :) yes its a butchery ......
i have 2 music compositors one in UK and one in itally both are super talented, i have some tracks already composited and its awesome!!!! sounds just like a soundtrack from a hollywood movie. im also looking for some props for a human charactersi have 4 of them in the begening of the movie, they are kind of a space pirates. this way i'll show faces of people who involved in the production. I also shooting behing the scene footage for some featurets :) and once again the website is on its way. as you can see i got my hands full :) but in the end it will worth every hour i spent on it .

Not too sure on the eyes. But those corridors are fantastic. f**king awesome! I'm very impressed.
I don't like the face, but the rest is great.
i like the face actually
im really looking forward to this!
the clips are also awesome!
Forehead's a bit big.
All I'd say is, if you can, try to stop the arms from wrinkling like that. Otherwise, it looks pretty dang sweet.
Hey guys thanks for the feed backs, i'll try to do some adjustments to the head, the costume unfortunately will be wrinckled sometimes, just because its a shirt painted like a skin :) "no budget" remember ;) but i'll try to keep an eye on it and try to avoid it. environment in the pictures is a Predator's ship. glad u guys like it. as far as the face goes i 've just posted a close up of the face see what u think about the eyes upclose, the face also has animation all moving and stuff. :) check out the picture in "alexpj19" gallery

Cool. I'm sure you can make it less sharp-ish and pixely, but the design is good.
I just saw your trailer, and if I may say... :o
Any negativity I may have dispersed at an earlier time has vanished from my mind.
Firstly, I'd like to say that your film does not look z-budget. The CG is fantastic. The cinematography is exquisite (and I'm pretty dang picky about that kinda thing ::) ) And the soundtrack... !!! I really hope you use that mix in the movies. Gave me freakin' shivers!
I may be ranting, but I take my hat off to you, sir. You have far surpassed my expectations.
Out of interest, is the music original?
I recognized bits and pieces from other films.
the music is actually parts of original "Predator 2 " and "AVP" soundtrack, mixed by me, BUT !!! the soundtrack for AVP-Redemption is being composed from the scratch as i type :) i heard some samples and its AAA freaking mazing :) i have 2 super talented composers agreed to write it for free !!! its in best tradition of the franchise :) last night i've sent first 3 minute clip for the composer in Itally to write interactive track meaning it will change according to the visuals. :) another news, i've just finished texturing Predator's ship , will post new pictures in my gallery :)
enjoy, love to read your posts guys.
AWESOME!!! ;D
just watched the teaser trailer and im amazed ;D keep it up
hey everyone, little update: " AVP-Redemption " project was on hold for a week and a half, i was building a new computer , full upgrade, faster, better , stronger, design to hunt down and destroy other terminators....... aaa.. oops . wrong movie :) long story short, after week of strugeling with my new system and reinstalling all programs plugins and so on, the newborm child of selecon valey has finally came to life and fully operational is ready to continue working on "AVP-R", it is 4 times faster than the old one . and of course i have a new screen shot posted in my gallery,
enjoy!
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=180
AWESOME.
hey guys im looking for some props for AVP:Redemption "human scenes" mainly weapons such as pulse rifles, if anyone has one, i would love to borrow it for the filming and than send it back.
and as usual, check out a new screen shot of the predator who just turned off his cloaking device in my user gallery. enjoy.
may be a little late for this, but for that good of Computer Animation Im suprised you diddnt get a better predator mask.
it is a bit late :) and another thing. i dont have any budget for this film, so i couldnt really afford anything :( but i hope when people will be watching they won't be looking at the costume all the time but sucked in to the storyline :)
I just saw your clip. Everything looks great, but I'm getting horrible flashbacks of AvPR. :-\
well. its predator and aliens... fighting..... alien dies..... in the dark spaceship .... thats what AVP suppose to be right ? : :-\
The Aliens have to die yeah, but I really wanted to see the Predator get knocked around and have to use his healing charge a lot. Otherwise you just end up with bais 'battles' instead of 'fights'. Are all the encounters like your clip?
The title... Who's being redeemed?
I'd say yes and no, fights are fast and short, i have 5 aliens in 1 fight scene all of them dieit involves slicing, stabbing, kicking, punching... u get the idea.he gets hit a few times, but dominates most of the fight, i have only half of the fight filmed, and after your comments i'm thinking of adding a few more hits by aliens. its kind of challenging, couse my aliens are CG, so i'm kind of limited in what i can do :( I think the fight scene will turn out very cool and entertaining. :)
now very important question for you guys, im trying to deside should predator Live or Die ?
please let me know what you think, i have both scenarios in mind, now i need to chose one :)
the predator is the one who seeks redemption, he is an outcast trying to restore his honer in the eyes of the elder and be a part of his clan again.
Ah, perfect!

I appreciate you taking in my comment about the fights, it should make it a lot more entertaining. ;)
About the Predator, I wouldn't mind seeing it survive the movie because we've never actually seen that before. You know, come out of the 'final fight' (if there is one) holding the skull of his enemy.
I am highly anticipating this film.
im lovin what i have seen so far.
would be nice to see the pred survive for a change.
Does the movie have a rating?
Lol I like the new picture.
im not sure about raitings :( there will be blood and cg violance, i guess "R".
Real nice work, how many people you have helping you anyway?
im doing it all by myself, how ever, i have i friend wearing a costume, and another friend that kind of go get it friend, he helps me to set up the set, moves things around when im asking to , and he is an awesome guy to bounce some ideas around with a huge passion for the characters. in fact he valuntired to right a dialog for the human scenes, i explained him whats happening in the story and the scenes, and he is doing an awesome job so far. other than that its all me, my computer, shot footage and sleepless nights. and all for what..... thats right for an awesome kick ass short film :)
Well, you've done a great job so far, I enjoyed it alot. Does it have a script or actual plan yet?
yes, script and storyboards are done, and 70 % of the film is already shot, now i decided to extend the storyline by adding a whole new opening with new characters and changing the end a little bit. Post production is what takes the most time, couse all of the environment is CG.
Yes, that's understandable since the envirment is that good. With the added scenes about how long is it going to be?
i think from 15 - 20 minutes
I see, nice work can't wait to see the finished product, nice work surprised not more of it has been made
Hey everyone, im super excited to show you all a new model of the alien for AVP Redemption !!! yes, alien 3D model has been updated today to a new more realistic and high detailed. Credits for this work of art goes to : " Swidhelm " , by the way the production is moving slow, but VERY well , just finished working on the finals for the first fight :) starting to for an a second alien fight . check out a screen shot of the new alien in my user gallery, and i'll be posting a screen shots from all new scenes , in about a week, couse im going to ALASKA for a week ! cheers.
Darkness aint approved 'em yet so we gotta wait. :(
Those new Aliens are impressive, I'm so glad you changed 'em. This is sure to be great, Fox should be embarresed at how a fan film can be better than a hollywood one. :P
I know this is a little soon, but if you're ever interested in a sequel, I'd be happy to design new stuff for you.
The second picture is good, the first one looks too much like a videogame.
its all about light, animation and action on the screen :) i think it will look great in final composition.

I love the new aliens so much, but I keep getting the feeling you got the model somewhere...
But still, great coloring and whatnot. How did you replace the old ones with the new one?
I didnt do the Alien model, i wish i would be that good in 3D, i can do the Hard surface invironments but not organic stuff like that. so all of the credit for the Alien model goes to " Swidhelm " he is the one responsible for this work of art :) , but i am doing all of animation , rendering, compositing and so on. i had only a few scenes animated with the "OLD" model, that was less realistic adn detailed, but now i can really get the camera up close to his face for some shots.
Just wondering, how good have you done with fixing the physics problems with the CG aliens?
well all the physics in animation will be hand animated :) if you were refering to the problem of aliens flying away in the teaser, it was just a test, and i didnt really care about the accuracy of animation, but for the final shots i'm working hard on making animation as real as i can :)
That's good.
hey guys little update: still working on the fight scenes, it looks AWESOME so far , lots of little challenges but its going good. also thought you might like to see a first shot of Predator's Infra red Vision. just did this shot today. Screen shot is in my user gallery. Hope you like it.
It looks great. Mabye a bit too colourful but thats just me. :-\
I'm putting this topic on notification ;) Brilliant job so far Alex, it looks awesome!
Hey guys, short update, i've finished more shots, mostly fight shots, it look sawesome :) so im about to post another screen shot from the scene. make sure check it out in my gallery, i call this shot " Thiws is Sparta Beeeaaach", you'll understand why :) enjoy.
Wooo! I'm going to look now!
EDIT: Here you go guys: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=180&pos=17 that one picture looks better than every AvPR fight scene!
Looks a lil' dark.
Too dark and the background looks too much like a videogame.
Quotethat one picture looks better than every AvPR fight scene!
:D :D Ohh please.
Hrrm yes I just re-watched AvPR and I'm gonna say that the pic looks better than the AvP fight scenes ;)
the screen shot did turn out a bit dark, but i'll do some more color correction in the final edit, i have a really cool zoom and pan on this shot, so even with it being dark it looks good when its moving, as far as the background goes, i've just learn the 3D program 3 month ago , so i'm doing what i can :)
I think it would look cooler if the angle was more interesting... I don't know, but it doesn't look that interesting in front of the background like that.
I agree on a the camera angle in case if its a single frame, but in this shot, i have a quick zoom from wider angle and "dutch tilt" move with slow pan to the right. :) it looks good, oh plus its a slow motion shot :) Plus the scene has bunch of other angles, in the edit.
Quotei've just learn the 3D program 3 month ago , so i'm doing what i can
Its not that its bad or something, the modeling is great, but use better textures and better lighting, cast more shadows and use bump maps, it can do wonders.
Just an advice from a fellow 3d user ;)
Hey Guys, BIG NEWS !!! i'm mixing a track and cutting together a second trailer for AVP-Redemption !!! so far looking pretty good, it will be covering only a conflict between 2 species , Aliens and the Predator. 3 trailer is going to be final and will have an outline of the whole story and have a humans in it , i wil be shooting a humans scenes this weekends. so 2nd trailer that im working on right now, will be finished this weekends, and gonna be posted on you tube.
*Jumps for joy, knocking the laptop off lap as I do so* Woop! I can't wait Alex. Good luck :)
How is there humans if the ship is abandoned?
dont worry. the 3rd trailer will explain it :)

Obviosly if the ship is abandoned there is no humans there, but it doesnt mean that they can't be in this film in other ways, for now its a secret

They thought when you wiggle arround with the camera a bit and put in sound fx that doesnt match the scene you would actually believe there is something going on.
Yes, it had potential to be the best fanfilm out there, but it turned out to be the worst i have ever seen.
The suits were good, but again, horribly filmed.
The visual effects were standard "After Effects" effects that are already as a pattern in the program.
The little tests and scenes we have seen from this already looks better then everything in S.E.E.D
Dont worry people, i personally HATED "SEED" so i think i kind of have a common sence of what is bad movie and what is good one :) i think i have a very good linear story telling for this film . with suspence, mystery, horror and action :)
You can create real horror within a 15min film?

Yes he can.
I doubt it, true horror needs time to develop. It will be mild horror at best.

It is a fanmovie and not a hollywood blockbuster anyway, dont know what you people expect.
But i´ve seen fanfilms that were 15 - 20 minutes long that were suspenseful.
'You people'? :P
I don't give a crap whether the thing has suspense or not, just aslong as it is good, which it looks set to be.

Do you even know what horror is?
For one thing, the camera doesn't matter. Secondly, it doesn't need to be high production value. Third, of course it needs suspense. Otherwise it isn't horror.
Horror doesn't mean high quality blood, it means a good scare, and for that you need suspense.
Alright guys, i have just finished compositing together last 2 shots for the trailer, its the last 2 shots of the trailer which will make everyone pee their pants when they see it ( i hope ) :) so now i need to make a titles and its done :) i might post it on youtube at midnight

you even know what horror is? Please explain...
If it can scare you through suspense, shocks and thrills, and tells of either the supernatural or murder in a scary way, it is horror. No expensive equipment is necessary.
Oh where are your Mr Trailer?
This seems to be coming along nicely, I can't wait to see more

was necessary? :-\
Hey everyone , 2 news:
1, Ijust finished putting all final sound FX in the trailer, and its 100% finished !!!
2, You might have to wait few more days before you see it, "Corporal Hicks" proposed a cool idea to do an exclusive premiere of the trailer on AVPGALAXY before i post it on youtube. so it might take a few days for them to set it all up so you can could see it. :)
Shouldn't be long now.
I'm getting more and more hyped for this. When will the DVD release date be? ;)
Holy Shiznit! that looks amazing!
That trailer looks better than either of the AvP films, good on you man!
That was friggin Awesome,I am now really excited!
I take it this is 15 mins long?
cool
Make it feel like this
Contra trailer
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=638gV4Cgbx4
Just seen the trailer, very impressive.
amazing! doesn't even look like a fan film ;D The Queen and the fights look badass.And I love it that you used Mein Hertz Brennt , suits the trailer perfectly!keep it up ;D
Where is the trailer ??? :'(
Oh yeah :-[ Thanks Johnny. Only four things I can say right now.
Oh my God. Wow.
Man, just once I'd like to see an AvP movie that isn't made by a Predator fanboy...
Nice job animating though.
First off Alex you did a great job with this movie!
2nd I love when a talented person comes along and does a fan film on AVP. Movies like SEED and now this one, goes to show all the idiots at Fox and all the retarded directors like the Strause Brothers that you can make a very good AVP film with a small budget. No excuses! A fan just proved it with REDEMPTION.
3rd Thank you for standing up for us, at least now we know someone talented out there cares about what the fans want.
Man, that final shot of the Predator approaching the Queen in front of him... so much badassness
Sweet!!!, glad you guys like it, i showed all of your comments to the guys ( the one that had to wear the costume for 12 hours in 2 days of shooting, and my other friend that supports me in my crazy ideas, and helps me to set up on the shoots and moving lights and so on, and now he is actually putting some props together for the human scenes) now they are super excited to continue endure all of my abuses :)
next weekends we are starting to shoot scenes with the humans. will be more screen posted with new characters :) And yes i am a big fan , and im trying to make a film to make any fan happy, including myself ;D its kind of going slow couse im doing all of postproduction alone, but very steady, about 1 shot a day, and i think it will worth your wait. thanks alot for your support.

haha I second that.
Good job so far, it seems you are a very talented individual, keep up the good work. AND you can actually see whats going on, its not a big dark blob like another film out there!
Looks great!
What is the song played during the trailer? Its the same one as the Hellboy 2 trailer, and I would like to know!
EDIT!
Never mind, I found it.
Its Mein Herz Brennt by Rammstien.
Jesus , thats amazing. how long will your final product be :) Fox should hire you really ;D
pretty.
looks a little too preda-oriented for my taste though
Amazing stuff man. It's nice to finally look forward to another movie and know that it won't suck ass. You should be very proud of yourself. ;)
I hate to lower the mood, but it's gonna be painful watching Aliens getting swatted here, there and everywhere. If the Aliens managed to critically injure him and that he would need to resort to healing himself, I would be totally happy. I like the feeling of watching a fight and thinking "He's gonna die. Oh no, he's gonna die. Oh he's definitely dead. Oh nice one! He's gonna die now! Oh wait..." etc etc.
Interesting, although has the same feel, superficially, as the last film.
I did, however, find this. :)

I have to say, and as far as movies go, it looks pretty cheesy. But for a "fan film" with not a huge budjet, it looks alright. I don't mean any disrespect, I personally have not seen any other fan films accept for Alien versus Predator versus Batman. That was actually okay in my opinion.

I'm not saying it's crap or anything. It lppks good. Just compared to some of the other fan films out there, let's just say I will have to see the polished full draft before rating it. That's all. 8)

Well, that was all real; AvP: Redemption is entirely CG I think.
its cool, i'd like to hear all opinions, and if there is a chance than improve it, like a coment on predator getting kicked around by aliens for a chance, im kind of thinking to add this now :) thats for "Aliens" fans, and by the way intire opening scene will be more for "Aliens" fans as for music, it will be original score, composited by 2 Super tallanted music composers, one Italy, one UK. and as for other fan films, i do no, i personally would love to see more of well done films, there are not too many of thous :( but im trying to make my film to join the ranks of a " kick ass " fan films such as "Batman Dead End" and many others.

With the exception of that horrible hip-hop song at the end, the trailer looked great, & I'm very interested to see the final film.
Just seen it again and i still think its pretty impressive, but some alien shots do look like a playstation1 game, i would have textured them better, bump maps are very important in a 3d program because light can interact better with the skin surface.

And the models look more realistic too.
Just saw the new trailer for this thing
NO ONE CAN DO THIS TRAILER JUSTICE WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT IT.
It is by far the best thing I have ever seen come out of anything that is within the aliens vs predator universe. This is, to me...how it should have been from the beginning. When this film comes out and we can all actually criticize it properly, then I hope to whatever universal power is out there, that it is better than what I have just seen, and if it, for the love of all that is right, go and get into the movie business, because to me this is not even a fan trailer, it's beyond that.
I believe the proper term to describe the new trsiler is "state of the badass art" :)
Alex when do you think you will have the movie finished?
It said fall, but that's still kinda general.
It looks alot better now. I saw more than ONE trailer. Considereing, it's a "solo" film, it looks great. Keep it up Alex. Looking forward to seeing it all polished up and ready. 8)

I dont see why his pred is a "uber" Predator, every Predator can kick aliens ass.
Johnny. Shut up.
Yeah, I think for the sake of balance it'd be best to have a couple of Predators get pawned. Then one particular Alien which is always causing your main Predator hassle. Cat and mouse kinda story in there,
AWESOME
do i need to say more?
hope the pred gets some trouble with the aliens, a few dead preds could look good indeed, but since its a renegade pred its kinda hard to involve more i guess...
possibly some abandoned pred ship docked in the human (?) ship and some pred corpses :D
the fan trailer looks great
I'm actually hyped for this :D
I like it. To be honest, the whole thing has that fake "Video game" feel, because of the CG, but it honestly looks like it is working.
My advice- for fights, claustrophobic halls don't work because it is limiting, and it is unlikely you animated the thrown aliens getting bounced off the walls in realistic fashion. Open spaces are better for fights of scale.
I am looking forward to this. I can't even imagine how awesome the Queen v Predator fight is gonna be :o
wow, i got overwellmed by comments, questions and suggestions !!! thats awesome!!!
so here some more info :
_Yes, there will be more than one predator (not necessary dead though) .
_Yes, there will be facehuggers, (some of them face hugging) :)
_Yes i agree on CG environment, its far fro top otch, but im just learning, so if there are any short cuts, i take them :) hopefully it will get better
_Predator - Queen fight, will be awesome but short :( sorry to many technical challenges, but i promise it will be entertaining.
_Will predator survive? at this point i have 2 endings in works, so im not sure, but if he will , i really want to make last few shots mind blowing, or if not than atleast cool.
_Predator or Alien fan? well i'de say im more Predator fan, but i also LOVE aliens :)
_Predator kicking to much alien ass to easy .... hmmm ... im seriously took it in consideration, and re choriographing a few fights :)
_Humans.... yes there will be humans "not marines" how ever, there will be shooting and dismembering :o ohh and hopefully a few scares
_Cast, unfortunately no professional actors will be there (mostly my friends), BUT i'll be very peecky about thair preformance , and i have very spacific directions for thair acting :) i think it will go well.
_Horror.... I know there is not much horror in Aliens anymore, just because we all watched the "Alen" movies like a thousand times and everyone is familiar with a creatures. but there are more ways to create a suspense and scare with such a well known characters, i'll try my best to do that.
_"Sulaco" i always thought it wold be cool if some renegate predator will discover abandoned "Sulaco" in space and aliens will be on it :) , but through the story i'll try logically explain aliens on it.
_Length of final film estimated 20-25 minutes.
_release date...... hmmmm.... not sure, but aim for the Fall
_Music score will be all original.
_there will be more clips with Behind the scenes , on my website and on avpgalaxy :)
_as for the budget its "none" however, i've spent about $500 so far, its including the cost of making a predator costume few years ago for halloween :) its all cardboard and ducktape. cost of paint, some little props, materials and so on its $20 there or there.
_editing and compositing all done at home on my PC, using after effects and Premiere in my free time, which is usually from 8pm to 3am :) as you can see i don't get much sleep...WHO CARES!!!! i'm making AVP movie !!!! Tough it up Alex!!! "Slap..Slap"
alright i think it should cover most of the comments :)
You know, there really is a lot of horror you can get out of alien still. And it isn't all tied to how it looks. If there are characters you care about, you can send them into a place that may or may not have aliens... Just the fact that the aliens can take someone out of nowhere is scary.
And here's an idea. Let's say there's a character who might have been facehugged, but you don't know, and everybody splits up and we lose track of the person. Later, somebody finds that person's body, realizes what happened and an alien attacks from behind.
now I would expect that now ::) good message him ideas that are good ;)
Basically, if you want to get horror out of an alien, you need to use at least two factors.
1) We have no idea where they came from
2) It isn't the creature that scares us but what it can do.
as i posted earlier on the main page, i think it's a fantastic film!
i like the way you made the aliens the way aliens should really look. As for the graphics , i think it's really good considering you've only learned this for a month. i'm majoring animation and i hope i will learn and be as good as you when i become 3rd year student.
Good job and you should use this as a portfolio just to show off how talented you are. I'm sure lots of companies such as feature film, game industry and etc will look into ur work and get u a job :)
on a side note , i really liked the visuals, as for the story (which i havent seen , and is too early to judge) it seems kinda shallow and not very creative. However i'm judging you are a 3d artist so i guess story isnt very important anyway so dont worry about my last comment. ;)

1) That doesn't matter, we know exactly how Kane's Son got on the Nostromo, but he was and still is one creepy bastard.
2) The creature
is what causes the scares. As soon as it appears on the screen, you know whoever's in that area is f*cked. (Or at least thats how it should feel) What the creature does is usually just for gore 'n' grittiness purposes.

1) I didn't mean that. I mean that the creature came from a huge abyss in space, and who knows which planet it came from. The fact is, it can be anywhere.
2) You also missed my point here. The alien is scary, sure, but not because of how it looks. Maybe in the first one, but we know what it looks like by now. What is scary about it is that it can kill you, regardless of how intimate we know it. It can destroy people in many ways, and not just physically. If the movie is just the alien standing there hissing, it isn't scary. But if the movie shows the aliens killing indiscriminately and nothing else, it chills.
totally awesome... ;D
see you bringin some new weapons, cool!!! 8)
yes!!! new weapons for sure, its one of my favorite part of all predator movies, new gadgets :)
comment on the story line, i thinks its way more important than visuals, but in my case besides the story im really focused on the visuals, when its low budget you always trying to make it look big. so thats what im trying to do, but i think when you see a third trailer you'll kind of see what the story will be about. and one more thing , its a short film, and its hard to tell a complex story, so my story is simple, but has a twists and few nasty surprises. Plus the way it will be told will make it entartaining. oh and by the way last night i improved a Queen, by adding more little details, dints and wrinkles on the skin. it looks good, im gonna post a new still in my gallery
That's cool...
But I also think that the things to be improved are:
1) lighting (very dark)
2) pred face- It looks kinda fake
3) Alien weight. These things may be fast, but they still have mass and shouldn't float so much.
He PM'd me the address now. It's cool.
I saw the trailor, it looks incredable. I may have liked AvP-R but compared to your new upcoming film. in my opinion, this is Way better then the two AvP movies fox has made. this just goes to show that Fans know way more then what the directors and company knows. although its a fan film. when I saw the trailor it confused me for an actual film. I'm glad to see your not using the Alien: Resurrection body design. its nice to see some originality to the creature. three films with the terrible Res design is bad enough. but your use of a diffrent design is incredable. I have some questions myself...
1. what types of Aliens will you be using in this film. I know the queen is in it, but what about the other types. like Warriors (ridged boney skulls) or Drones (the original Dome head)? or both?
2. I know we all been dissappointed with the Predalien in AvP-R, and I know its unlikely, but when you stated there will be other Predators then the lead charactor, does this mean there is a possibility of a Predalien? if so, what design would you use? I'll give you a design I made if you like. I'm sorry to bring up the predalien idea, but I had to ask.
3. does the Predator have a name that you refer it to, although its not uttered in the film. (e.g. Celtic, Scar, City Hunter, Wolf... etc)
4. in your film, will there be enviroments on the ship be refrenced from ALIENS? like the Cryo chamber, Mess Hall, Dropship bay, and the acid burn on the floor from the facehugger in the opening from ALIEN3?
5. when you asked about what launguage the Predator should speak, try a derelict language that exists. or, make a totaly new language up. I would salvage the Cybertronian Launguage from the 2007 Transformers movie and derive a language from it. I can help you if you like.
and finaly...
6. please tell me you will release a DVD. although how you could get it out to the guy or gal who wants it is beyond me.
thats about it.
Aliens, Deffenetly rigged skull design, very bug like , always loved it, its just more dangerous looking.
No Predalien in this one, but i will have facehuggers and eggs.
Predators name.......hmmm, on the set i call him ...Scott.... sorry no name for the predator. :)
Environments, i was thinking to make a loading dock with some loaders standing around, possibly a dropship, not sure if i'll do it yet.
As for sound of Predators native language, i've done some tests, and i'm kind of liking the direction im going, still need some fork.
Final product will be available for the download on my website or maybe here on avpgalaxy. free for all, dont know about DVD yet.
ok, maybe if you deside to make a film with a Predalien you give me a call, Yes?
what about the Alien's screems? will you be using the screem of the Peakock/Elephant screem used in ALIENS?
Hey alex just wanted to make some suggestion :
1) Predator communication - use their clicking voice combined with hand mimics - they used that in all predator movies (including AVP movies)
2) About ending - i dont know make him survive, and after going through all that carnage - he restored his honor. BUT...... after returning to his planet he is captured by some space marines or special squad or his elder is not satisfied with his successes and wants to banish him again. Now Scot....khmm... i mean zour predator is pissed out and challenges elder and then - FINISH. I really think that a ending should be cliffhanger, and its very possible in your case.
Anyway love the work so far, keep it going...
:) you've just named 2 of 4 possible endings that i had storyboarded, except challenging the elder, that was kind of a cool idea.
The updated queen looks awesome. Good job.
I agree.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=180&pos=18 Oh. My. God. That looks so real! Well done Alex!
Wouldn't say that ^ but it's pretty damn impressive.
It looks either real or it looks like PS3 graphics. I say it looks quite real. Very real.
glad u guy like a new queen, i dont think i can do it any better than that :( oh and by the way predator's face also got updated, i'll post it in a few days.

A bump map is a map that is being used in a 3D program for bumpiness (On alien skin for example) and exaltation.
It interacts with the light and makes for a more realistic look, especially on skin and stuff.

Hey guys , i've just posted a new screen shot with updated predator's face, you can compare it with the old one i posted some time ago in my gallery.
We'll need to wait till' D see's it. Looking forward to it though, it bet it looks brilliant.
Me too. Looking forward to it. ;)
I like the queen, but you may want to blur the edges slightly.

That my friend, is pure awesome.
You can really see the difference. Well done Alex.

Well done. I have an issue with the eyes, though. Do you think you can add a little glossiness to them?
awesome you put 2 together to compare , thanks alot !!! the eyes are kind of tricky , im gonna mess around with it a little bit more, dont know if i can improve it but i'll try for sure
I guess my issue with the eyes is that they are so rough.
I kind of like em that way. Creates the image of a hardened hunter.
I meant... the edges are too rough. Too many straight lines in an organic thing.
Oh I see.
Looks like a great project for no budget
I think it looks better too.
awesome

The problem with the eyes there is that they have no reflection, that makes them look too dry.
I downloaded the same head and i solved the problem with a "hypernurbs" object.
Its a shape modifyer that gives the selected object more polygons and makes it a lot smooter and more organic.
He has to look for something like that in maya or whatever program he uses.
Otherwise he did a pretty good job on the head.
Yeah the head looks alot better now, coloring is a little werid but the detail is really good
Yeah it does. The eyes don't matter. The thing looks great.
Eyes may not matter to you, but so some it does. Please do not state opinion as fact. In my opinion, the eyes are fine.
well the head is moving around , so the eyes will look fine , i'll mess around a bit more with them
looking forward to it. ;)
Hey guys, any ideas for Predators name in "Redemption" ??? what do u think about "Dagger" or "Scorpion", any ways, im open for ideas. Also i was thinking today and came up with the idea of maybe start developing 2 prequels stories for AVP-Redemption. one is about Predator only, about how he got kicked out of his clan in to excile, and another one about "Sulaco" right after "Aliens" so its gonna be only "Alien" short, no predator, and "Redemption will connect 2 prequels together.
Or maybe...
Gatherer?
Or...
(this one's a joke)
He-who-tries-too-much
Why a name anyway?
I thought giving the creatures names was a bad idea from the beginning, another anderson takeover.
What's wrong with the names? Makes identifying them easier.
Well, there's only one Predator no real need for a name, but if your going to give one. Make it part of the charater not an add on.
Second an all Alien prequal awesome.
I'm not really fond of naming either, but if you have too, name him based on his physical appearence/something he does to an Alien etc.
I've always thought 'Jaguar' would be a good name for a Predator.
Like Celtic, Grid, and Scar ;)
Much as they sucked, their names were appropriate.
i personally dont care if predator is named or nameless, its more for the people that ask what AVPR's predator name is or will be , so i thought what the heck why not. I still gonna call him "Scot" on the set lol ;D
Howabout we all just call him Scot if he has to have a name lol

Haha, Scot, so random
Why don't you name him: Gore , like Gore Pred. It would suit their overwelming thirst for the stuff.
If that is lame, how about: VENGE? You know, like REvenge? Like what Wolf did?
Just some ideas. I will look up some better names later. ;)
That's it, he shall be known as... Scot
The Justifier.
Hra'Yinde 8)
boob job. :D
I know, I know. I didn't mean it. ;)
I say you go for 'The Jaguar'.
hmmm.... "Jaguar"...... not bad .... he is yellow and spoty..... but name "Scott" has character to it.....hmm I have to thing on that one. ;D
How about... Scott-kill.
How about: PANTHER.......I don't know. ;)
How about : CHIPMUNK......No, I wasn't serious. Let's get off the animal related names here people! :)
Look in a thesourus, for words matching bad, evil, predator, blood, you know, all the things relating to a Pred's charactoristics. ;)

Seriously?
We've had really good menacing names like Anytime, Scar, Celtic and Wolf, but Scott? I think it sounds a little too... well... human. :P
Scah't
If you must call him Scott, call him Skah't or something.
Daikkon
Jaguar.
at this point im between "Jaguar." and "Scorpion"
Scorpion's a good one. Sounds like more of an Alien nickname to me though.
Half-Tooth
how about: rogue. He is an outcast right?
How about.....Kainde Nihkou'te!
Or, If you want a custom name in the predator languange, Go here: http://thehunted.tk/
Check in yautja and scroll down.
It really doesn't matter what his name is. Just can him Pred. OR..... You could even name him after the film!
Name him: REDEMPTION.
Slayer, Demon, M-di H'dlak, Thwei-Nihkou'te
I don't see why thsi is a debate. In the end, we really don't have a say in the final product. SOme of these names, I can't even pronounce! No offence to you guys, but how do you come up with these? I say we name him REDEMPTION, it would fit the film. ;)
It's not a debate, it's idea submission.
Quote from: Revengers on Jun 21, 2008, 10:59:03 PM
It's not a debate, it's idea submission.
Well, yeah. I guess. I just think we should let alex make one up on his own.
I like "Rogue" alot !!!, so thats it his name will be "Rogue" , but i will not be mensioned in the film anyways,may be in the credits :) its more for the fan who ask what his name is
Lol Kinda moot point that everyones been wrapped up in.
I want to see the next trailer already! :o
I got a list of names that I THINK would be good.
1. Rogue
2. Slayer
3. Shadow
4. El Diablo
5. Scarface
6. Slash
7. Scott
Hopefully if there will be more Predators in the sequel *crosses finger* he can use some of them.
*cough* Jaguar *cough*
I just saw a pic in alex's file. Never saw it before.

And I have to say...
Make it brighter. Hard to see.
How about Hra'Yinde, the Rogue?
How about Alien-Chow? :D
I'm just going to call him Scot...

cool, cool. But it is a little too "human" for an Alien species. ;)

Quote from: Major Alan Schaefer on Jun 23, 2008, 02:46:41 AM
I know, just feels right and not forced
Yeah, but even "scot" doesn't sound intimidating, let alone "predator-like".
But it does put a smile on my face :D
so how about Scott for first name and Rogue for last name..... Scott Rogue :)
For the third time, call him SKAAH'T
I like my idea: "Rogue", but Scot should be changed. Sorry guys, just sn't doing it for me. ;). Reminds me too much of that dork from X-Men. He was the sissy boy, and for that I don't want that "bad-ass" Pred to be acociated with such a name. Rogue suits him; reguarding the trailer, how it states that he is looking to "re-gain" his honor. He must have done something terrible. "Rogue matches that description perfectly. ;)
Hra'Yinde the Rogue ;D
Scott Rogue sounds good lol, but either name will work really.
Quote from: Major Alan Schaefer on Jun 24, 2008, 02:07:46 AM
Scott Rogue sounds good lol, but either name will work really.
True, true.
As long as it has "Rogue" in it, i'm happy.
SKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH'T!
I stand by my idea!
Doesn't matter how far you stand from your idea, mine gets the vote.(Rogue). :D. Joken dude. How do you pronounce your "PRED" name?
Huh? Me?
My idea is Skaah't.
Uh, the pred Scott.
Ugh.

Seriously. Enough. Keep on topic. Or I will start deleting posts.
hey guys, i'm planning to integrate the idea that millitary is trying to clone the alien drones for a use as a biological weapons, i've just read some "Alien book 2" comic books and thought i could do some refrence to a comic book series. what do u think?
Go for it, but don't be too ambitious.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 27, 2008, 07:59:30 PM

Well, it sort of related to the clip in the AVP REDEMPTION trailer. When the Queen looks HUGE and is comming out from the dark, reminded me of the Jurassic Park right at Universal. If you have been there, you would know what I mean. But, hey. I don't want to make you delete anyones' posts, so I won't stray off topic. ;)
No worries dude. I was just comparing.
I hope this film is finnished soon so we can see it's awesomeness.
Will there be any homages in this movie Alex or is it all original?
I would request no homages please; they didn't help AvP:R.
Yeah it would be nice to have an original piece for once.
Revert to the Roots of both franchises. I think it would work better aswell. ALIEN stood out for its Original idea, so you should incorperate this into the film. ;)
i deffenetly want to put alot of original designs in to it, but also have something to connect to the universes of both franchises, there will be a glimps of the predator's world, but i'm gonna do my own vision of it :) i thought in AVPR the predator's world didn't look triby enough, looked kind of like LA on the background, idn't really like that part but still it was cool to see it for the first time, Oh one more thing, it is very big, its not 100% confirmed, but it looks like Fox fill give a green light on this project and allow me to finish it :) , i know for sure some people at FOX have seen the trailer, and thought it looked awesome :) Very Exciting !!!

The homeworld huh? You shouldn't have said that, now we'll all want some pics! ;)
I'll take what i can get but getting pictures early didn't really help AVP-R did it?
Pics are fine, full lenght clips, no.
Point taken
I would like to see some "sneak-peaks" aswell. ;)
Tease us with a few pics now and again and people will swarm to it like flies when it's released. Save the best 'til last so to speak.

http://io9.com/5017454/only-you-can-redeem-alien-versus-predator
he two Alien Vs. Predator movies came and went without offering much more than a few moments of Predator-human bonding. Fans were outraged at Fox for fouling up one of the easiest plots ever: all they had to do was let the two species fight each other, but instead there was a whole lotta' nothing. But now the fans have taken matters into their own hands and created their own film: Alien Vs. Predator: Redemption. The zero budget movie follows an exiled Predator regaining his honor in the middle of an Alien/Predator war. Click through to see how Alien Vs. Predator should have looked.
According to the film's production blog,"It's a 'No Budget' fan film project created with a purpose to appreciate the 2 Best Sci-Fi franchises." They have hopes to see this movie finished this fall. From the collected FX shots and other spliced-together scenes I'm just happy you can see what going on (unlike in the murky AVP2). Bring on the real grudge match between these two alien species — it can't be any worse than the official film.
Looks good. ;). Can't wait.
Corporal Hicks, that was an awesome article u've found, thanks for the post ;) Man this thing bluw up!!! now the presure is on to deliver a good flick :)
hey guys as some of u probably noticed, my web site is down, i went over my bendwidth limit :) too many people looked at the trailer...whish is AWESOME, so it will be down for a few days while they upgrate my account it will be back soon online, and i'll post a few clips of some funny outtakes on the set :) and i'm also posting a new screens in the gallery, so check it out
Sounds great.

Finally, after 20 odd years, The Alien is back! I'm looking foward to your Hot Toy's line... :)
Those are F*cking AWSOME! 10/10! I want a model of that puppy. ;) Those rock. I tip my hat to you alex. Thank you WAR for those pics.!
That's great work, Alex. I'm really impressed with the lighting in that shot.
With the attention AVPR's getting, it's a remote chance that Alex might ressurect Aliens vs. Predator.
hey guys, i just got back from the shoot and we did a first "human" shoot, also we had to switch to a "Blue" screen, cause humans gonna have some green in their costumes my friend Ryan aka "Serge is dead" who is my right hand/actor/coproducer did an awesome job at letting me abuse him putting paint, dirt, makeup, ater, be suspendent in the air and so on things ;) i'll post a few screen grabs from the shoot its all gonna be with the blue screen but u'll get the idea
How long is this going to be,Alex?
i think about 20 min

That looks great! I love the detail, the shot, the design, the lighting, everything just looks awesome! ;)
I think it's too dark, though.
Don't start with all this darkness crap, I can see it perfectly. It needs to be dark to make the creatures look good, but if you ask me, Alex has got the lighting perfect in this movie.
I'm serious.I can only see the teeth and a few tubes on the wall. We need differentiation.

Agreed. The pics are fine. They are actually "kick-ass" if I might add. The film should rock.
Actually...I agree. Maybe brighten it up a little. I'm all for shadows so maybe you'd rather use spotlights and place the Aliens in them for important shots like this. Well, important, I mean prominent.

Dude, it doesn't needs to be a little dark. It is an ALIEN/Predator movie after all. I think if you can see it, and make it out, then you're fine. ;)
This looks so awsome! :o I'm really looking forward to seeing the final result ;) You've got REAL talent man, I like the looks of this so far ;D
guys dont worry about the lightness of the shots, u can see everything perfectly when its a moving shot not a still, im making sure its all visible to a point, cause dark atmosphere is a very importent part of the look, u know what i mean ( cant have the monsters running in the daylight ) :)

You got it. ;). That is exactly what I meant. I'm glad you remembered that when making the film. Now, I look even more forward to the finalisation of the film. This will turn out great.
Also, did you say Fox whas looking at this? If so, what did they say?
they liked it alot so far, the final answer will be in a week ;)

We all know whats gonna happen. ^ They're gonna go "Hey, the fans really dig this. Heres a thought, mabye if we make AvP3 like this... people will actually like it and we'll get more money!!" *GASP*
One little question though, will there be any rock/rap music in the movie itself? The trailers had these and it put me off a little. One thing I don't want to see is Aliens and Predators fighting along to rock music. :-X
Everything looks great so far, but i dont buy this whole FOX thing.
Why would they care to comment about a fanflick someone made on the internet?
They dont care about the fans anyway, so why care about a fanfilm and say that he did a great job?
They cant be that dumb.
Sry, but i smell a huge pile of Bullshit here.
Fox might not care about the fans, but they do so love shitcanning fan projects. Game mods, games, fan films - At some point or another Fox has issued cease and desists telling fans to go nick off.
Really?
Where has that ever happened?
I never heard about it, just asking.

WHAT? You...you're serious? B/c the fans express their distaste for something, they get a legal order?!
well, one of my friends, has a contact at Fox, and he contacted them to make sure they gonna let me finish the project, and let it be shown at some short films festivals in Europe, we sent them the trailer, and response was "it looked awesome, its all cool if we not making any money, and doing it only for the perpuse of entertainment of the fan and will put a huge disclaimer about intelectual property of fox and so on, so mow we are waiting for the official final response to give me a green light on finishing this project. thats all. :) dont get me wrong its not like the want to buy the idea or market it in any way or anything like that. its just every one says ...ohh its gonna get Foxed, well hopefully they'll say "its cool as long you dont make any money off us" which i never planned on the first place, im just super excited about making my own AVP short. Hope all goes well ;)
ohh and as for the music, no it will not be any rap for sure, hard rock..... no i dont think so, unless, the music guys will write something of a mix of Predator/Alien /Rock that will match the scene and sound completly kick ass in the best traditions of classic A & P soundtracks, than maybe,... i dont know, im really planning to go all original but classic :) "i just love that part of predator soundtrack when the ship flies by in the beginning" :) or Alien's tingling mystery theme :)

Its just that, in this fansection, there is really a lot of BS going arround and i´m a little sceptical now.
Hell, we even had a whole fanfilm going on for months that turned out to be a fake.
So keep it cool, i´m still very thankful that you gave me the link to the Alien model and i just found a queen, eggs, sulaco, dropship, APC etc etc
Very usefull stuff.

They dont care about the fans anyway, so why care about a fanfilm and say that he did a great job?
They cant be that dumb.
Sry, but i smell a huge pile of Bullshit here.
Hahahaha yeah I know, that guy was so freakin stupid. Everything he posted was a picture from like google or other peoples sites :P
It was absolutely ridiculous
hey " Johnny Handsome ", no hard feelings :) i was following the forum for that other guy, that was kind of funny
Do you think it would be possible, IF your film is a smash hit, that Fox could deside to let you run it in sections to make some cash off it? I mean, I would want some "green" feedback for all my hard worw, like you have done here. Do you htink Fox would be willing to make a deal, reguarding this idea? Have you even thought about making money off this deal?
@ Corperal Hicks,
I personally have not heard the term "Foxed". Can someone tel me the history behind it? I think it would have to do with something along the lines of filing lawsiutes, but I could be wrong.
i dont expect for anything big to come out of Fox except "Good work, we'll let you finish it " i'd be super happy with that ;)

Fox might not care about the fans, but they do so love shitcanning fan projects. Game mods, games, fan films - At some point or another Fox has issued cease and desists telling fans to go nick off.
Yeah, they did the cease and desist thing to me. All I did was post a few pictures of that stolen alien suit. And Fox didn't even have copyright over the pictures.
Quote from: alexpj19 on Jul 01, 2008, 05:20:36 AM
well, one of my friends, has a contact at Fox, and he contacted them to make sure they gonna let me finish the project, and let it be shown at some short films festivals in Europe, we sent them the trailer, and response was "it looked awesome, its all cool if we not making any money, and doing it only for the perpuse of entertainment of the fan and will put a huge disclaimer about intelectual property of fox and so on, so mow we are waiting for the official final response to give me a green light on finishing this project. thats all. :) dont get me wrong its not like the want to buy the idea or market it in any way or anything like that. its just every one says ...ohh its gonna get Foxed, well hopefully they'll say "its cool as long you dont make any money off us" which i never planned on the first place, im just super excited about making my own AVP short. Hope all goes well ;)
I don't want to join the witchhunt but you probably shouldn't have contacted Fox. Well, it's not like you can hide it from them, because the fan film is becoming pretty popular. Just don't get your hopes up. Fox have shut fan projects down for far less than what you've done so far.
I think they'd want to shut this beauty down, purely because it makes their movies look terrible. Doesn't take that much mind you...
They would def shut it down if you try to hide it from them. Better to go by the numbers.
S.E.E.D managed to get through unscathed and that was a pretty anticipated fan film even if the final product wasn't that great.
That's what I'm worrying about here. I'm trying not to get too hyped incase, I doubt it will, it sucks. I really hope that it doesn't because Alex has worked so hard.
I GOT REALLY IMPRESSED THE WAY YOU CHANGED THAT AWFUL RUBIES PRED MASK WITH THE AWESOME CG- PRED FACE!!!
I KNO THE SHIPS AND ENVIOSTUFF IS NOT SO EASY, BUT ORGANICS AND SPECIALLY EXPRESSIONS ARE REALLY HARD TO MADE!
I WANT A DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please stop shouting. Anger is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it.

In the fan films section under important topics or go to www.seedfilm.com
Thanks Purebreed. I am downloading it right now. It looks okay, I couldn't see the trailer however.

You are wasting your time, really, the movie is terrible.
Is it? I am about to watch it now. I hope you're wrong, or else this was a waste of time. :-\
The screencapsfrom S.E.E.D make it look good, but the film itself is awful.
I downloaded it just now, but all I got where the sounds.
Quote from: War Wager on Jul 01, 2008, 08:40:40 PM

Doesnt make any difference, its so horribly cut that you cant see much of the action anyway.
My Quick-Time software wouldn't play it! That's crap. Oh, well, I guess I didn't miss out on much. BUT, this is not the S.E.E.D. topic, so let's get back to the Redemption film.
I still don't know what "Foxed" means. Can someone tell me what it means? Please?
Probs that the studio takes away all the artistic freedom from the director and demands a film that will only make lots of cash.. Am I right?
No, Foxed means you get issued with a cease and desist letter.
hahaha;) then I dont want to get foxed;)
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jul 01, 2008, 10:52:27 PM
No, Foxed means you get issued with a cease and desist letter.
Oh, that sucks. Well, thanks Hicks.
if it will get foxed, we should start an online petition and protest
!!!! " VI VA FANFILM REVALUTION " !!!! ;D
So Beatiful....*tear*
Fox can f**k themselves, honestly. It's almost as if they're afraid someone will outdo them.
Remember when FOX used to be good?
Sure do.
Their problem is that they want to invest little and expect alot in return. I think they have it backwards. I want the old Fox back.
yeah, like when to produce awesome movie like "Aliens" cost only 10 millions to make and became classic :)

That's ignorance right there.
If Cameron had CGI back in 1986 he would've used the crap out of it and then some.
On topic if you please, gentlemen.
Hey alexpj19, I need a "summary or description about your film, so I can add it to the advertisements.
Thanks. ;)
Really Nice work, Do you plan on any future projects if this one is liked?
Chris P, i'll send you summary a bit later, im partying for 4th of JULY , as for future project yes , i have 2 projects im righting right now, one sci-fi action and another one zombie horror ;) i
Alex, do you have plans to make a live action film at some point?
Zombie horror nice...I can't wait for that, I have some good ideas for a Zombie story but never any ability to make a movie of any sort maybe someday I'll just settle and right a big book on it. It's alot of ideas that are mainly origional just borrowing one or two elements of another zombie story.
Quote from: DoomRulz on Jul 05, 2008, 07:23:26 AM
Alex, do you have plans to make a live action film at some point?
you mean 100% live action Alien or Predator or AVP ? aaaa i dont know its a matter of having all costumes and sets and so on ... so .... i dont know, maybe if i have everything i need for it :)
That sounds cool. But troublesom. :D
No $0 dollar film in other words
Yeah, no. That would cost way more than 0$. :D. You're looking at $100-$600 just per costume! That isn't counting robotics for realistic motions. I would loose count. It is risky to attempt. I like this CG film myself.

Ok........I'm just wondering, as me and my friends highly anticipate Redemption, two things:
1. A rough guess, when will it come out?
2. Will it be availble on youtube?

2. Will it be availble on youtube?
some time in the end of this year i hope end of fall, and yes it will be available for the download and streaming on youtube :)
i just finished modeling and texturing some props for one of the scenes , thought you guys might like to see it :) i've just uploaded in to my gallery
Doesn't look too bad ^ but it's not finished though am I right? Also, how many burstings will be in the movie?
yeah its not 100% finished yet, and sorry there will be no burstings :(
ok guys , "face hugger jars" are done, check out the final render of 3D model in my gallery, in a few days i'll post a screen shot of the scene in which this madel will be in :)
No burstings? In an Alien film?
Thats fine I guess at least you didn't pack too many in like AvPR.
This is nice by the way:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/userpics/19801/normal_FH_Jars10.jpg)
QuoteNo burstings? In an Alien fanfilm?
Keep in mind that this guy doesnt have to release shit if he doesnt wants to, he´s working his ass off for your entertainment and you just cant have everything in a fanfilm ;)
It would probably be really hard or expensive, anyway.
Take a look at AvPR! Do those look expensive?
originally i was planning to do some burstings but than story changed to a more complexed and because of the technical difficulties it kind of got cut out of the story :( but there is still a VERY small chance i might do that
It would be a nice change not to have any burstings...
Yeah, I think its fine not to show chest bursting especially in fan films because if you play it right it makes the audience wonder what/how it happened.
That's what I did in my recent fan film, I had chest bursting but I didn't show it all in one sequence. I wanted to let the audience know what was going on but not let them see. ;)
Don't bother with a bursting if the story doesn't necessitate it.
Yeah, there really is no need. By the way, awesome film you got here! I am a huge Predator fan and I think it is good that someone shows a more on track Predator redemption than what they did in Concrete Jungle. You are one heck of an artist bro! Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see it!
this looks amazing. its very much work for a fan film, maybe i could ask you for nice ship animations someday?
looks good and good luck
@ alex,
I have a better/faster/cooler forum than my last one. Freewebs was too slow. I was wondering if you would like to advertise your story there aswell. That way, your popularity could grow even more! I can't wait for the film to deput, but in the mean time, you could let my members know about it.
Whatever you decide to do, thanks dude.
hey guys i've just uploaded a new screen shot from complete scene with Face Huggers, i call it Face Hugger's Haven :)
Where is it???? Could you post the link here please?
Thanks.
it will be in the gallery any time now ;)
Here it is:

Excellent stuff. Are those on a human or Predator ship?
Looks a bit like predtech.
Quote from: War Wager on Jul 12, 2008, 01:49:30 PM

its gonna be on the human ship
Which leads me onto asking; how many Aliens will be in the movie? :)
i think around 4 or 5 and the queen but it doesnt mean there is no more than 5 aliens on board it could be more, we just won't see them
I am just in awe from what i am seeing.
Dude, I agree. This is probably going to be one of the most smashing fan films we will see. :o
So, based on that I love Aliens more, heres what we know of the Xeno's in AvPR:
- 4 - 5 on screen Aliens plus the Queen
- Eggs will make a welcome return
- No Burstings
- No PredAlien or other Alien types
- Facehuggers are bring transported on a human ship
- They will land some hits on the Predator
Alex, please conform that the last one is true for certain. *crosses fingers* :)

yes all sounds correct, predator will be getting a few scratches :) also the main location is "Sulaco" there will be 5 human characters one of them will be female, no androids. there will be a few surprising twists and a gliimps of the Predator's world ( different from AVP2, the way i would like to see it ) ;)

By 'scratches' you really mean dismemberments right?
Hey Guys !!! here is a BIG news, its official since this morning, AVP:Redemption 100% WILL NOT BE FOXED, and will see the internet screen eventually
You mean it'll be online before Fall?
no it means Fox gave a green light on the project as long as i'm not trying to make any profit they will not sue me or anything else and i can go ahead and finish it, now as for release date, i really hope i'll finish it in the end of fall, how ever it can change and take longer time, after all i need to work to pay my bills and so on, plus the story slightly expended .
Take as long as you need.
It's (so far) the best AVP fan film yet.

UGHHH, I can't wait till the end of Fall. This looks TOO good ;D
Hey alex - any news
nothing major for now, jsu finished 4 more shots over last 2 days, got one more composer sent me 2 demo track he wrote for AVPR very impressive stuff, im thinking about getting him on board for the project this guy is fast wrote it in one day :) got a last little thing from ebay for the props so getting ready to shoot more human scenes :)

hmmm good question, im not a composer, so im not sure, but judging form the demo tracs that my composers sent me it sounds just like the original soundtracks form bouth franchises mixed together, and its all done from scratch with thair own takes on it :) it sounds grate, i'll try to use one of thair tracks for the next trailer.
I can't wait, I had forgotten to visit this thread :D
I just can't get over that you're actually getting music done for your movie. I'm that used to hearing the original movie scores in fan films.
Which is why this film will rock our socks ;D

i hope so :) the presure is on, so many people are looking forward to it , by the way im gonna post a new screen shot from the new scene, its hard to choose the right screen shots, cause i want them to look cool and in the same time dont want to spoil anything.
Don't let the pressure get to you! Remember: slow and steady wins the race ;)

I really like the Shoulder Cannon design. It's not quite the original but I think you've improved on it. Well done. My only gripe for the Predator so far is the dreads.
I think they look cool.

Hey guys, im getting ready for the ComiCon this Sunday here in San Diego, so just for that event i designed a Tshirt for AVP:Redemption to promote it, its a simple design i got printed it out on a special paper (buy in anyhobby store) on the regular printer at home and put it on the black T-Shirt with the iron. check out the design in my gallery, and if you want your own AVPR T-Shirt just let me know i'll upload the high res image of it on my website so anyone could download it and make thair own shirt :)
can I buy that for a doller ;)

Hey guys, i've got another GOOD news, GOOD for you!!! its something you've been waiting for :)
here it goes !!! i have started working on the 3rd trailer, it will be finished in a few days, its not the final yet, basically it has thesame soundtrack ond the opening, the rest its all new shots, including a few shots of "human" action :)also fill bew featuring some cool new sound designs and so on, also i think some parts of the AVPR's plot will be reviled i'll talk to Corpral Hicks to arrange posing on the front page again, and ofcourse few days after that it will be on my web site and the YouTube. are you excited people or what??? !!!! :)
Yeah, now I'm even more excited than before ;D
Yes. I'm very excited ;D
I just watched both trailers...a lot...and oh my god! It just sank in how outrageous they are! I bet it could totally be successful...if it were like a Hollywood movie and made that way. But now it is completely successful amongst the fans.
It must have taken hours upon hours upon days to make these...or at least that's how good they are.
Once Darkness is around to approve the post, you'll all have the new trailer.
this keeps looking better and better
wait.... i saw 1 trailer and im downloading 3rd trailer....wheres second trailer??? i missed it!
Third Trailer is great, btw how many humans will you have,on this trailer there seems to be only this one-eyed dude. 3 scenes that are most impresing:
Predator scanning something on his computer
Predator knocking facehugger tube (fantastic)
And finally when predators spear hits the dude (excellent composed)
So far A+
keep great job alex
Hey, that's great man. Looking forward to it. One thing though. Please get rid of the Puff Daddy Song.
Rofl, Alex you're a genius. I actually jumped at the end when that facehugger jumped in the tube :D
The trailer was sik dude, looking forward to AvP: Redemption as always :)
This looks AWESOME.
GOD DAMN
cant wait for this god dam fillm so excited
I think I found the only thing that bugs me about the pred face shot.
The whole areas around his eyes are dark and shadowy, and the eyes are very bright. I'd be all for putting them in the dark...

Man this sucks, my Media Player won't play it.
I can hear it but I can't see it :'(
Will it be uploaded on YouTube at some point?
I hope so.
i like the end of the 3rd trailer with the facehugger... LOL!!
glad u guys like it , for thous who has problem playing it, go to www.divx.com and install latest codec, should fix it, if not than wai a wef days it will be on youtube and on my website. :)

Oh. almost forgot!!! i saw a very interesting poster on ComiCon, it was a poster stand for AVP,one half predator's maks and another one of Alien's head, all it said was 2009, not sure what it means, new movie maybe, i'll upload picture in my gallery so you coud check it out.
Yeah we've all seen it. Lol. We thought it was new figures, a new game heck even AvP3 the movie. Turns out it's just a teaser for a new line of comics thats coming out next year.

hey just saw the third trailer, and i must job well done!
any form of a fan made movie is just awesome!
nice trailer. i have to ask though, is that hicks who gets killed? when does this movie take place? after ALIENS or on another mission with the Sulaco?

no its not Hicks, its completely different characters, it takes place about 15 years after "Aliens" take place.
Wait, just realized... When he gets speared, why does blood keep spurting? Wouldn't there be blood for a second but then it would be sealed by the spear?

Because it probably looks better, simple as that.
I havent seen it yet though, because it wont play for me.
It might work some other ways, but in the video it looks like a sprinkler of blood facing down turned sideways on the computer.
I think the spear is good enough.
maybe the guy moved a bit when he was impaled, opening a wound not sealed by the spear, alowing blood to escape at hight pressure
LOL, i just thought it looked cool :) plus wanted to show that " there will be blood " plus keep in mind the human footage is not final :)
I thought it was Hicks and that you were killing him all over again. Glad I was wrong.
Hey guys 3rd trailer is officially out , its posted on youtube and my site, Enjoy!!!
Love it! I cant wait to see the film.
Link?
PS I like the new sig Alienseseses :D
I thought the trailer looked good but i hated the muzzle fires, they looked terrible.
The blood, make it darker and increase the motion blur when it sprays.
I found the trailer. It was awesome! I noticed the scene when Scott the Predator puts on his mask was used twice though.

I think that if you take the muzzle flashes and make them brighter, maybe make the whole area brighter when it fires, you get something really cool.
Great trailer Alex, the best one. 9/10
I'm very impressed with how cinematic & professional the trailer looks, great work.
But for the second time, get rid of the hip-hop music at the end. This is just my personal recommendation, as I think it's tacky & detracts from what is otherwise great...not to mention it gives me horrible flashbacks of Godzilla '98, since I'm pretty sure that was the song that played during the end credits.
It was indeed. ^ Just as long as none of that is played during these credits and the movie itself, I'll be happy.
I liked it the gun effects were a little werid but everything else looked really good
guys, the scenes with the human are not final, and for music i used the same soundtrack cause i didn't have time to put a new one together, i needed 2nd trailer for the Sci-Fi convension in Norway asap, if i wanted to be shown infron of bunch of people on the big screen, so i had to do it fast :) and once it was done, thought you all might want to see it too . shooting scenes will be fixed, and there will be now rap in the film, only havy, moody, spooky, awesome mix between predator and aliens soundtrack, all original written from scratch.
That's good to hear. Glad there music'll be darker. Still looking forward to it ;D
Rap? In an Alien Versus Predator movie? :-\
I like that rap.

The Avp redemption trailer was shown at the Oslo Sci Fi Festival this weekend to mixed audiences, but what they had in common was great feedback and even a standing ovation!
This looks promicing!
Congratulations Alex!
Thanks man, the credit for that goes to " danielbones " he is my European connection :) and responsible for arranging the showing of the trailer to the audience , good job Daniel !!!
Thanks dude;) Always happy to help. negotiating some more festivals for you in sweden and denmark aswell
This looks really good .
So any big news alex or even some new picture?
You can post creen shots from the trailer if you dont have any new right now...
BTW have you decided about final release date...
no release date yet :( and at this moment im in Alaska for 7 more days, after i get back i'll post some screens . :)
Awesome. I can't wait for this to hit the internet :P
Must say what i have seen so far is truly amazing for someone who is running with no budget.
i agree when they say that this will probably be better then requiem in regards to IT ACTUALLY HAS A STORY!!! erm hem yes anyway...get a little carried away... just one question tho... please tell me its not what i think it is. in the trailer at 1:15 just after we see the soldier impaled, we see the pred either sitting or kneeling, that looks suspicious... he's not about to get chest busted is he? PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS END LIKE IT DID FOR SCAR! seriously 2 preds already dead and not even 5 minutes later the last is face hugged i mean COME ON can you be more biased???? Erm hem sorry got a little carried away again, yes well that's my 2 cents, yes moving on...
Quote from: Halflife on Aug 09, 2008, 11:26:14 AM
COME ON can you be more biased????
Biased against the predators? It certainly doesn't look that way to me, in fact this is another story of a single pred against many aliens, so I fail to see your point.

hey man no worries, no predators will get chest busted, how ever , face huggers will try to hug them !!! :) there are some things i liked and disliked about both AVP movies, so im kind of trying to go by my own senses of what will be good for this film but i also take every suggestion in consideration :)

Name an AVP movie where the pred doesn't die. I dare ya.
That's bullshit right there... It's Aliens vs Predator. It'd be crap if only one race was to die. That comment just lowered my opinion.
Show me an AvP film where an Alien doesn't die.
onoz! bi4s!
*aherm*
Lookin' forward to this one.

It's not biased unless the Predator is another Wolf, i.e. God.
Well so far we've assumed it's only one predator, & that's what the trailers have indicated...but Alex just referred to "predators", & "them", so we might see more than one in the film after all.
The reason I used the word "Biased" is directly because of Anderson. OK i know we've all heard the slandering against him, but seriously, has anyone here watched AVP with commentry, Paul W.S Anderson himself declares himself the "Gate Keeper" of the Alien Quadrilodgy, all he talks about the whole film is how he wanted to get the movie to match the environment that best showed of the best sides of the Aliens. OK I'm done with slandering Anderson because we have all seen enough of that.
But in the end if you really want satisfied Fans, you cant do a real Verses Movies without declaring one side the victor, and when that happens an uproar from the fans of the other speicies will occur. there can usually only be Predator or Alien films, or Predator with Aliens in it. once again theres my 2 cents down
now please take note i am not a hater, I'm not here to just slander just so were clear so please don't start throwing rotten food at me I'm on your side...

I don't see how this film relates to Paul Anderson at all. AVP was biased...but so was the Strauses' sequel.
Neither of them are related to Redemption anyway. It's Alex's own film.

Anderson never called himself the 'Gatekeeper', thats what he called Henrickson since he's the second most featured actor in the series besides Weaver.
You're right, in a Vs flick were there is no winner, just like
Freddy vs Jason and
AvPR done to some extent, both sets of fans won't need to quarel (as much) You could argue that the Aliens won in
AvP but it's still hardly a victory.
I'm all for the Predator walking out the victor, but it would be nice to see the Aliens kill off the Predator too. In this situation on the abandoned Sulaco, either side can win, theres no continuity errors to worry about.
Any news?
Hey guys sorry i havent done much yet since last release, cause i was tooo busy with famely visiting from over the sees, we went to Alaska for a10 days and stuck there for 4 aditional day because of volcano arruption , now we made it home to San Diego and hanging out here, how ever if you want i can post some stills from the clips i used for the trailer.

LMAO. So any news?
Sweet nibblets.
If there was any news Alex wanted to post he'd do so in his own time. Just wait, we haven't got too long to go.
We haven't?
Not since him telling us the film will come out 'round fall I think.
The trailer looks really professional. Very slick job.
It looks way better than AVP:R (how could it not lol) How much did you spend on this? It looks really good.
If you had read previous pages you would no that it is budgetless.

Hey guys i know i've been off the radar for the last month, i've been traveling around US and showing my parents some sites :) didn't have any time to work on AVPR, i be back working on it in about 2 weeks from now, so stay tuned for new development, as for now im posting a few new screens . :) Enjoy
I'm looking forward to it Alex and welcome back ;D
In your own time could you post up some new Alien shots Alex?
yes i sure will, i'll try to post one soon.
Thanks, it's just that everything is looking Pred dominated.
Are any of the screens up yet?
I love the screen of the glowing eyes.
Any new news lately?
Quote from: Alienseseses on Sep 01, 2008, 01:08:29 PM
I love the screen of the glowing eyes.
I dont, its too soft.
I prefer it soft. Maybe it's because it looks like it's glowing instead of turning on like a flash light.
And it looks integrated with the mask.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-9098
New screeny.
Whoever that Scott is in the suit, he's probably the best fan actor to ever play a pred. I mean, he's got it down.
He's quite good from what we've seen so far, has the movments down to a fine art.
Wher be zee Alieenzs?
the funny thing is he is never seen any of avp movies, but he does follows my directions on how to move very well :)
Good, good. What Predator do you base the movments from? Or are they unique?
Also...
Wher be zee Alieenz?
well as far as the movements go i really like Predator 2 and AVPR the way predator were moving but there are some moves of course i had to just come up with and just think how predator would move in certain situation thats it. Oh by the way im think king to include a little scene when predator is healing himself. :) i know some people asked me about it.
Wher be zee Alie-- Nah I'm only kidding.
Out of curiosity how big will this wound be? :)
He loses his head and has to re grow it :P
LOL you got it
XD So how far into filming are you now? Or are you in the editing stage?
well , my main focus is on post production, putting all of CG and life footage together. as for how far in to filming the live action footage? for the first release which will happen in the end of this year im about 80% done :) for the extended cut which will be released some time next year that will have all new opening, human storyline, new ending and Predator's home world, i have only 50% done :) ohh. yeah as you just figured out there will be a 2 versions of this film extended will be almost 40% longer than the short one :)
How long will the short cut be, approximately?

Thanks for the quick reply. I can't wait for either version. I am certain it will be fantastic.
Two versions...? Sir, you have my commendations! ;D
Yeah, what he said.
Originally i had an idea for 2 versions, and now im looking at the time that it takes to make and promised dead line and decided to follow my original plan for 2 versions, in this case you guys will have something else to look forward to ;) first short version will be around 12 minutes
only 12 minutes?I thought something as badass as this would atleast push to a 'short' half hour :P

Alex, don't forget the interview. :(
Either way, 12 minutes or 20, I will still watch it.
hey guys, the AVPGALAXY interview coming out soon with some production pictures. stay tuned.
Thanks to Corporal Hicks.
I look forward to it :)
Can't wait.
I will anticipate it eagerly.
This film is going to be made of win and God.
I think we've successfully moved into "overhype" territory.
Whoa, whoa. I said I look forward to the interview; not the film will be made of "win"(?) and God.
We are all going to crash
so hard.
QuoteWhoa, whoa. I said I look forward to the interview; not the film will be made of "win"(?) and God.
I was semi joking.
And you've never heard the term "win" used in that context before.
I assumed you meant wine since you referenced God.
Nope.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=win%20and%20god
I've got the interview ready to upload. Just got to wait for Darkness. He's away from PC access for the moment.
I cannot wait.
Hey guys look what I found
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R_GpSRwBo4A
alexpj19 your work is awesome
That was awesome. Excellent Predator cloaking!
Terrific Alex, how come you never told us?
I'm sure he did. It was one of his first pieces.
...Huh. Whaddya know.
I want Redemption to arrive now! I am too excited!
patients my friends
We don't want to scare Alex off the way we did with Jed on No Mercy ;)
Good things come to those who wait.
no worries , i wasn't scared to hit Predator on the head with a pipe, so i won't get scared of you guys ;)

Predator will Heal him self with a brand new gadget , never seen before, its my own invention :)
Alex, Fall has fallen! Where be teh vid?
i'll try my best to finish the first version by the end of fall i still have a few fight scenes to film :(
I must wait patiently... or I will die of excitement...
How you getting on Alex?
Still waiting on Darkness to get back for the interview.
Where is D these days?
Something to do with internet at his area.
Cant wait to see the film Alex, keep up the good work.

Yes. Everything has been sorted now. I've sent him the interview and it'll be up soon.
Hey Alex, your site's down.
hey guys im still alive, the project is live and well , its going kind of slow, due to work and family related stuff, i had to take my web site down for now, cause i keep reaching the bendwith limits, so i just need to find some time and do some changes to it, and it will be done, i also have some behind the scenes footage that i need to put together for you to see how its done. but for now just hand in there, cant wait to see my interview with some photos on the front page :)
Good to hear ^
If you get any spare time, could we get either an Alien or Vs pic? (eg a pic featuring both A/P)
yeah! I am glad! I have been waiting for this masterpiece! Post some pics dude, I'd love to see what its looking like now!
I want the damn film!!! :D
Interview should be online today or tomorrow. :-)
awesome, man thanks alot :)
Here you go boys and girls:
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website.php?section=interview_alex_popov
:)
I read it, very interesting. I hope all goes well.
Looking forward to it.
I just caught up on this project, but I wanted to say that it is really looking great. The amount you have done with so little as great. I myself am looking into possibly making fan-films, and this serves as real inspiration.
I would really like to see more of the Aliens, they look really good.
If anything, I would deepen and darken the colors of the Pred's face, it comes out too light in CGI form. But wow is the way you directed his motions great.
Dont fall into the same flaws with fights that Reqium did, as in making the aliens look too much like pushovers..even if you are more of a predator fan it would seem more intense if they seemed more dangerous.
As for humans, Im curious to see how it shapes up. Oh, for Blood, you probably know this but Ill say just in case. You can use Syrup with red food dye and a little blue. It looks pretty decent, here's some in action I made: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv6-79DucrQ (Jump to around the 2:20 mark)
Anyways, I really cant wait! Any previews of one of the fights?
I'm rly looking forward to this movie, and I am sure it's going to be a very good one ;D
hey guys , sorry i've been off the radar for a while, i was side tracked by another project. I just finished making a video for a music band called "Goth Minister" The video was shot on the green screen i did all of the CG for it so please check it out here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXwe_ep8vog&feature=channel_page
it was a greate learning experience. Son now im back working on AVPRD. :)
Glad to hear it dude. Say, I re-located my site again, but this time, I can post news in a "blog" style, so people can comment on it. Also, I have various advertisement pages, would you mind if I advertised this film there? I had it on the previous sites, but with this final location, I would love to advertise it once more.
- Thanks dude, and good luck!
oh please feel free to post it on your web site, and if you want you sould post the interview with the pictures. :)

Alright cool. I have you advertised, and I DID put a link to HERE (Galaxy) as they hosted the interview.
They deserve credit for it, but I do have several links, and pics pretaining to your film. As the site grows so will hopefully your fan base.

Yes it was. I can't imagine how hard it would be to create a complete film, WITHOUT a budget, and all done by computers in any less time. Alex is hard at work, we just need to be patient. Plus, the suspence will grow and grow and grow, for when the film does come out, it will be AMAZING. ;)
QuotePlus, the suspence will grow and grow and grow, for when the film does come out, it will be AMAZING.
Or everyone will be overhyped and when they see the 15 minutes they will be disappointed.
Quoteand all done by computers in any less time.
I'm not saying anything against the work he does neither do i say it is anywhere near easy creating such stuff, but 15 - 20 minutes of footage and working almost a year on it now is not
very fast.
I can remember the hype for 'AvPR' was almost unbearable and the BS's enthusiasm for it was contagious. We shouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's automatically going to be great, I done that last year and I paid the price.
The film looks promising at any rate. At least Alex's creatures are well-designed.

I prefer wolfs design over his fan made costume, the aliens overall design is better, but will never look as real because he doesn't have a team of 200 people working on the animations and compositions like on a real movie.
How about some positivity?

I did say multiple times that i like the stuff he's doing and that i look forward to it and its true, he has done an amazing job so far.
BUT, i do see this as what it is, a fanflick, and of course his costume does not look as good as something that has been done by professional artists, hence why i said i like wolfs design better ;)
QuoteI just want support here.
I do give my support, but critic is something that is needed and just makes this thing better in the end.
Why say that everything is perfect when it isn't? The first shots that he did didn't looked so great and they have improved because someone always said what he can do better, and he did. I told him to use the bump maps properly, and he did now, its part of the progress.
I'm still thankfull that Alex gave me the link to the alien model some time back and that i had the chance to work on something that great in my own freetime, so god knows i love this guy ! :)
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 18, 2008, 07:22:43 PM

I know eh!?!? How about focussing on the fact that this guy (Alex) is going out of his way to make something for us (A/P Fans). So stop complaning, and focus on what will be happening. I'm not saying it will match AVP (2004), but is certainly better than doing nothing.
With any luck, it'll outdo AvP.
this film is probably one of the best fan made films! GO ALEX!
It is looking good judging by the trailers.

Alright, cool. Do you have a range as to when you plan to have the film published?

i'm sure we will be completely satisfied with anything you give us. great job again!
by the way, i remember in an interview that you said that you are having some one compose an original score for the film. are you planning the film's score to reference the AVP and AVPR films' scores, or the predator and alien films' scores? or both?
Hey alex,
I finished the ad for your film. You can view it here: http://www.avpspectrum.webs.com/apps/wiki/avp-redemption (http://www.avpspectrum.webs.com/apps/wiki/avp-redemption)
- I will be adding some more pics of scenes, and screenshots that I can find aswell. If you want to give me some in particular, please post 'em here. ;)
PS. If you need me to add, or take something off, please let me know.
- Thanks.
I'll remain patient. I know it'll be good but I'll be patient for now.

I love the Cover art you created.
Quite sure that's one of Alex's posters.
It is. Will you be making any other posters closer to the release Alex? Since you've got different Alien designs I thought they would be used for new ones.

yes for sure i have an idea in mind plus fro a new poster i want to have humans in it, i want to do a separate photo session probably after one of the shooting days just have actors pose on a green screen :)
Sounds good.

sorry about how the logos looks crumpled, its just how they come out. :-\
I like the 2nd last one, quality is really nice :)
Nice job.
I like number 8.... sick'em!!
Don't let'em get away!!
grrr...........
The best pic out of those (though not my favourite) I think, is definitely the facehugger tube one. The atmosphere is appropriately eerie.
oh man nice posters :) i especially liked 2,3,6 and 13 nice job, also liked the tag line, have any more ideas for it ? if anyone have more ideas for the tag line , please let me know
Well, a tagline I did for an AvP3 teaser was 'It Began In Our World... It Will End In Theirs'. You're free to play around with that if you want.
Unless you're not wanting any connection to the movies.
Looks pritty good but our there gonna be any marines or anything
here are some more posters

Haha, I like the tagline on the last one. You misspelled "hear" in the first one though.
Did you here there?
Everywhere?
Er...
nice, my favorite one is the last one :)
Hey Alex,
I noticed people were making some fan made posters/wallpapers. Well, I thought I would give it a go. Below are three options, one of them will have a color change aswell, so you can see what I mean when I say "You can choose to have the colors changed.". Hope you like them...
(I will be adding more later. You can see them before they are posted here on Spectrum's Fan Art Gallery: HERE: http://www.avpspectrum.webs.com/apps/photos/ (http://www.avpspectrum.webs.com/apps/photos/) (Spectrum's gallery)

What about keeping this thread filled with news instead of old screenshots that i can see in the gallery anyway?
Agreed. I think you're getting a little carried away there...
okay, I'm done. but i thought that this was a discussion forum, and there isn't much news at the moment. i just wanted to show my support for the film. sorry. :(

Thanks, I thought the Alien did. I should have faded it out a bit more.
Those are nice tag-lines. I really like the second one. ;)
DO you think red? Or green would be a better color to use?
If I may make a suggestion Chris, I say go with red. It suits the film b/c there will be blood ;D

:D Okay, I thought it looked good like that too. I am thinking of making a HUGE wallpaper of the film, but it will be like a "cut through" where you would have shots of the Pred on one, and the Aliens on the other with the scenes in the middle. It will be BIG, so it will take a while, what do you think? Should I make it all red?
Nah, have varying colours b/c all red will make it seem a bit boring. Nothing too eye-catching about one single colour on a big picture IMO.

I think so too. I was gonna have the Alien side green, and the Pred- red, but I thought it would look more like a Christmas scene.
I hope to post it soon...
HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!! haha, the wallpaper, I think is pretty good. One is normal, and the second is colored with a frame. Please, if you have any ideas as to how to make them better let me know.
I hope you like them Alex.

#1 looks really good Chris, well done :)
Veeery nice...well done indeed ! :)
I like the wall paper with the red type.
Not having it all the same color makes the figures around the borders stand out more.
:D Thanks guys. I thoguht it looked good. I will wait a while before posting anymore. ;) Hope Alex likes them.
Not bad Chris. I would have made them a little simpler though, like a space background with the Sulaco in the distance or something. Don't show the creatures at all. A nice silver tone would be pretty nice too.

Okay, I hear ya. That sounds good. I will try for that on the next one. Thanks. ;)
i dont know if youve seen these alex, but these faggots said a lot of shit about your film, i bet all they could do is make voices for their figures in front of their gay cameras if they ever made a movie....

it doesn't bother me much at all, plus they were talking about the teaser with bunch of test shots in it, but i know when the film is out they'll be downloading it and telling all their friends about it. i guess some people just like to bitch about everything and not appreciate the amount of work people put on to it.
as for "chris p" love your posters, good job, i'll be posting more screen shots tonight, so you'll have some more pics to play with ;)

Thanks so much Alex, glad to hear from you.
@ That rediculous idea of a critics list I just watched, I must say I am disgussted. I read through them all, and I guess they are talking out their asses becuase they don't have any concept of what real, hard work is. They probably are 40 years old, living at home with their mommies eating fudge-pops in their basement typing up these (what I don't call) reviews. I would love to post a comment on that blog telling them all to go F***K themselves, and really tear down all of their self-esteim, BUT I don't want to be a part of some piece of shit community that don't understand positivity.
I am glad to see you are being the bigger man here Alex, and not letting their comments get to you. I am the same way with stuff I do. UNLESS they insult my family, then their ass is mine. haha, but when it comes to online crap there really isn't much you can do. :-\
I am sorry they had to be such retards and put down your amazing hard work, but like you said "
when the film is out they'll be downloading it and telling all their friends about it." I agree.
Anyways, that's all I have to say. I am sad that people have to act like a bunch of arss holes when there is no call for it.
@ The posters I did,
I can't wait for the new screens. I am planning to make an even LARGER one (If that is possible...haha :D) but with a few suggestions from War Wager. (Ship in the background....less creature shots...make it look more enthusiastic) <<<- Did I spell that right? ;D But yeah, you can expect a real kick ass poster in the works as we speak. Good luck with the rest of the film, and I hope your Christmas was awsome, aswell as your new year. 2009!!!! people! That means:
1- Jurassic Park 4 (so I heard)
2- Terminator 4- Salvation. (Confirmed)
3- Transformers 2 (So I heard).
2009 is to be a Sci-Fi year! Along with ALIENS: CM if they hurry up, and ALIEN RPG!!!!!! ;D
Good luck Alex,, keep up the awsome work. ;)
i cant wait for jurassic park 4! except i think it may come out around 2010, or 11, cause they are unsure about it. :-\
Transformers 2 is confirmed; I've seen behind the scenes footage. But that's off topic ;)
I'm liking the new screen shots Alex. I hate to be the first one to say this, but it is a tad murky.
Edit: Or it could just be the way the CG looks, I'm not sure.

I can't wait to use it. You can count on me. One awsome poster, coming up... ;)
Okay, I don't know about you but I am really excited for Alex Popov's fan film: AVP Redemption, so now I am gonna be making signatures for people with the AVP Redemption logo and advertisement on them.
You can either order them here, or choose some of the ones listed below:
Here's what to do when you like one listed:
(Assuming you use Photobucket.com)
1- Save the picture to your drive (doesn't matter)
2- Create an account on Photobucket. (If you already have one, just continue)...
3- Go to upload files...
4- Choose the pic you saved.
5- Once uploaded, click edit. From there you can change the color, put your username on it, and any comments you want.
I find advertising is a good way to show your appreciation for someone else's work. I am advertising the film with my sig., if you want to aswell, I encourage you to.
- Thanks. ;)

cant wait!
I made a thread where you can pick up a signature that supports the film! Look at my sig, there rae more similar to that.
Just go here: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=21903.0 (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=21903.0)
The instructions are there and they are all made to support the film. I'm doing my part. ;) Hope you all like them....
PS. you can have certain ones made.
nice work! ;) i'll support it.
Quotethey are all made to support the film.
I can see your point but in what way does a sig support the movie? I think everyone here on AvPGalaxy knows about the movie now and a Sig doesn't make the movie any better.
What i personally think is you want to make yourself a name and act like your a part of the production with all the Wallpapers and Sig's.
Don't get me wrong, i don't want to Rain on your parade but keep this thread cool with facts about the movie and not advertising for
another advertising thread.
@ Alex, nice screenshots, i like the dark look of it.
sweet :)
I thoguht it was pretty sweet to. ;)
@ requiem28, you can put your name on it aswell if you want.

That is not it at ALL. You see, there isn't much I personally can do to "help out". So I figured since I am fairly good at making images, that I could contribute in that department.
I don't want to "
make myself a name", I have one, and it's Chris. I don't need people to know who I am I frankly don't really care that much whether this person knows me or this person knows me. What I do care about is how people precieve me. (Not what they think, but how I am treated).
Here is the thing,
I stumbled upon this thread when browsing before and previously the only AVP fan films I ever heard of were Batman: Dead End, and pretty bad action figure films. When I saw this one I thought WOW! So, when something deserves recognition, I try to do my best to help recognise it. I don't want to "act like I am part of the production", because I am NOT in any way.
Is it so wrong to support someone's hard work? I made the sigs because they stand for something, knowing about it is one thing, showing your appreciation for it is another. I'm a walker, not a talker. ;)
Just to clarify, cause I don't want people getting that impression of me. 8) - Thanks Johnny.
@ Alex,
If you thought I was trying to do what Johnny said I was, you got me wrong. I just want to have fun, and help. I think the film rocks, and sinse one dude posted some posters, I thought I should try a couple myself. No harm intended and the sigs are more of a symbol of appreciation than an advertisement.

Duh.
The idea is to have it in the same area so when people come by and read the Redemption thread, they leave and see this one so they check it out.
Duh. 8)
Okay, well then why not just post the sigs in the Redemption thread itself? Then there is no way people can miss them.
hey guys i personally enjoy your work very much, it makes me feel that this project matters outside my own satisfaction, so please continue, i dont get offended or anything, any support is most appreciated ;)

I would, but the thread is really for information. The posters there were getting a little out of hand and I think addinga whole stack of sigs would put a few people off. :-\ It happens, so I just wanted to make this thread for this purpose. For people who want to show off their artistic works.
That's all. It's not like I am wasitng space. ;)

Not me, I would much rather see an ALIEN 5 preview or a Predator 3 preview to an AVP 3 one. Plus, Redemption should be great, all things considerred. ;)
AVP 3 is bound to happen though, the way Requiem left off and even the Strause brothers stated so.
Followed by Davis' own statement, notwithstanding.

@ Alex, in many trailers and screenshots, it looks like there is some kinda hive on the ship. IS that true? Or is there fighting on some planet...
yes there is a hive on the ship, in the film it will be explained how it happened, why sulaco and so on.

Excuse the double post, but....
@ Alex,
I was just thinking of this (not sure if it's been asked already) but " what inspired you to make the film?"
Was it the fact that the A/P fans needed a "good" film instead of the "FOX-published" ones? :D
OR...
Did you just want to do it for fun?
What was it? I was just curious today. ;D
Hi I'm new here, and I'm really looking forward to this movie! I was wondering, could show us how you made everything? I would really like to make something like this, so any help would be much apreciated!

AvPGalaxy - Can you tell us a little of the origin of the project? Where did you get the idea to do a green-screen movie?
Alex Popov – It all began when I saw "Batman Dead End". I decided I wanted to make my own Predator fan film. The next step was making the costume. I did some research on the web about how to make cheap armor and decided to go with cardboard and duck tape. It took me about 2 month to make it and about $200. Lucky for me I finished right in time for Halloween. In 2 days I won about $800 in cash prizes. Eventually I started to think about some storylines and did some test shots. My first test called "Alex Versus Predator", you can find it on YouTube.
Originally I wanted to do all real environments. Maybe in the woods or some construction site, but after a few month playing with Maya 3D and poser I figured I just might give it a try with a green screen. I bought a few pieces of green fabric and scratched it across the hall at work on the weekends and did a few tests. It looked pretty good. After that decided to go with a green screen. So all the scenes on the green screen are shot in the hall way. However some of my friends recently purchased big space in another building and for helping them paint it blue they gonna let me shoot it there. Its much bigger. All the walls and floor will be painted blue. So from now on I'm shooting there.
I read in a interview, that you found the 3D Alien models for free I think, online. Can you give us the links?

Amazing whats out there for free.

So can I download Poser for free, or do I have to buy it?
Even if you have to buy it, there are..."alternative means" for obtaining it ;)

Uh..hem....On another note...most poses are somewhat reminiscent of Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
And the last spinning Predator head shot reminded me of the scene from Blade Runner. When Decker was viewing the security tape with Brian. And afterwards Roy Batty's head was spinning around as were the other replicants earlier ;)
Over all I really like the presentation of the figures ;D

Lack of what? Ummm, also half the stuff you just said lacks any sense at all! I am stating other CGI characters and you are talking about Blade Runner and Da Vinci's Virtuan man. Well, most programs use that base, but why point out the obvious?
Anywyas, back on topic.....
@ Alex, if you could check out the above link and answer the question I posted, that would be great.
- Thanks.
no its not the models that im using, but looks like AlienS design, which i like alot and using in AVPRD, amazing Predator model, Such a detailed work. oh by the way im finally moving on to final Aliens confrontation before the Queen. Just sent a new screen shot of the new environments for the fight scene to be posted in my gallery, think everyone will be happy to see some familiar props from the aliens movie in it ;)
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/userpics/19801/normal_vlcsnap-77476.jpg)
Gorgeous.
I take back what I said about the lighting, you know what your doing.
^I dont like that one, looks too much like a videogame.
What do you expect John? A film that doesn't look like a freaking videogame? Come on at least he's doing a great job you have to at meet that.
QuoteWhat do you expect John? A film that doesn't look like a freaking videogame?
Exactly.
The other pics and videos look great because there is always a real Element in there, which is the Predator or a human character. It feels right.
The pic above looks like its out of the AvP2 videogame, there is no film feeling to it.
Of course hes doing a great job on this, but that doesn't mean i have to like everything and when i think that something doesn't look good then i will say it, simple as that.
Whatever you say John ;)

I love it Alex. Yet another great addition. I really think of "ALIENS" when I see that pic. VERY well done. It sets the tone perfectly.
Great job! ;)
i did this shot last night, im not 100% happy with it yet, partially agree with John, i think its the camera angle makes it look 2D, i might change it, but for now it will work, its a short shot more like establishing where they at, the alien just runs out of the corridor in to a big Loading Dock. thats the idea.
You can have some inspiration, by looking the screenshots from alien movies.
great screen shot. background details are improving. ;)
Thanks! here is one more news, there is a possibility to see a "Predalien" in AVPRD :) i'll know for sure in next couple of days.
Just make sure you give it a true design if you decide to add it Alex. :)
I'm sure it won't disappoint.

PLEASE get the design right. (i.e. no dreadlocks)
Do not show the PredAlien in the next trailer (if you decide to go that way). I think we will all agree that we want to be surprised. We don't want another Chet ;)

I think you should show it in the next trailer. Nothing too in your face, mabye just a growl and a quick flash at the end should be enough do hype this new creature.

Me, too. However, many fans got overhyped about AVPR, only to go and see it, and found out that they'd already
seen the coolest stuff in previews. Please, Alex. Tease us, but don't hype us. ;D
lol i'll try ;)
I think I've just seen the Predalien you're going to use in the movie, the design looks very good.
Swidhelm is a really talented SOB.
...how could you have seen it?
Clicky (http://arthur.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/full.php?member&image_id=1477768).
Is that it?
Perhaps, it's the only one I could find that related to what Johnny mentioned.
Well if it is, good going. Not what I was expecting but it's at least more true than Chet.
Seconded. Though I'm wondering why the head is so damn long.
Yes that's predalien by " swidhelm" he says he's going to fix it up a bit and than give it to me, I'm also gonna play with textures.
Head and body rock. Feet, not so much. But he'll probably fix that, right?
A Predalien? Awesome! I can't wait!
Ic ould care less about the bestial style that it has, that thing looks awesome.
I also figured the brown/tan color scheme didn't make much sense :-\
After all, Kane wasn't black/silver, was he?
If your referring to the PredAlien in the link, it sure ain't brown.
^ Talking about Chet
Ah right. But she wasn't brown either.
I said brown/tan. Her spots were brown ::)
AvP Redemption is looking really, really good, kudos on the special effects. Does the lead predator have a name?
Does anyone know the song used in the trailers? My friend wants to know.
Predator's name: Scott
Song: Mein Herz Brennt -- Rammstein

Why Scott?
he used the rap version of casmiere performed by P.Diddy. it's called "come with me."
I thought the name Alex decided on was Rogue.

Only for a few seconds at the end. The beginning in the Russian Battle Hymn from Hunt for Red October mixed with the Predator 2 soundtrack, and the middle is Mein Herz Brennt.
yep, you got the soundtracks to the point :) as for the predator's name its "Schhaaatt Rogue" ;)
So when is this planning to be finished?
Yeah. :D
Hi Alex :)
With this year being the 30th anniversary of the 1st Alien movie. Have you thought about releasing this at a venue that has a large exposure?
I read that the fan film Batman Dead End premiered at Comic Con. There's also Wizard World?
I'm hoping that there will be some Alien events at these conventions because of the anniversary.
Hopefully that at some time in the future an Alien Convention will happen (when I asked on this forum if there are any Alien conventions..I was told there wasn't enough support :-[ )
thats a good idea, i did promote AVPRD on ComiCon a little bit, had no idea about Alien anniversary, thats a cool date to celebrate :)
that would be cool, by the way, how much more footage do you think you have to shoot? you know, in minute wise.
I'm sure it's 25-30mins.
Quote from: War Wager on Jan 23, 2009, 09:14:25 PM

ANyways,
@ Alex,
Hey dude, it's been a while sinse I was here. Do you have an estimate as to when the production will be set for release?
I am just putting that out there, in case the answer is floating around somewhere. :D
No, that's how long the film is, dude.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jan 27, 2009, 09:04:40 AM

Yep, I thought so. That is how long Alex had said before, i'm pretty sure.
It seems like this film has been in production forever. Hope we don't have to wait till fall of this year for the release :(
As long as it comes out this year i'm good. I' patiently waiting for this, but god damn i really want it now.
GO ALEX, GO ALEX, GO ALEX!!! :D
sorry. ;D
hey everyone, no release date yet, but im working on it, one shot at a time, good news, today i got my predalien model, and its awesome !!! posting a few renders tonight
Take all the time you need!
Damn,have only recently joined I noticed this part of the board quickly then checked out this thread.
Wow,pretty impressive for sure. Really looking forward to seeing the final product.
Awesome work so far alexpj19 :)
Your PredAlien's lookin' good Alex. I like the colour tones you've went for.

THEY ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know. I really don't like the skin-tone. What's wrong with the normal black. The paleness was always horrible about the PredAlien.
At least it's not a bright and shiny yellow.

well it has to have some more traits from predator than just the madibles and small portions of the dreds.
P.S Alex, how does the predalien come into play? is there a pred that got infected in the movie?

Why? Mandibles give it away.
I don't have a problem with different coloured Aliens. Afterall, the DogAlien suited it's colour tone brillaintly. I've always seen the PredAlien being differently coloured from the human born ones. I'm not saying black wouldn't suit because it sure as heck would.
The colour is determined by the surroundings, not the host.
Alien - Cold metallic environment, cold metallic colouring.
Aliens - Black with blue highlights everywhere, same colouring.
Alien3 - Orange-brown/copper environment, same colouring on Alien.
Etc.
The only Alien to not follow this was the PredAlien with its yellow.
QuoteThe only Alien to not follow this was the PredAlien with its yellow.
Colorado had yellow street lamps.
QuoteAliens - Black with blue highlights everywhere, same colouring.
I remember a pic from an Aliens Alien where you see that its painted black/brown with yellow highlights to catch the light. Tom Woodruff said that when you look at them in broad daylight it looks almost like a halloween costume.
Touche!
But then look at how they look on-film.
Really the Aliens are light colours which lets the surroundings dictate how they look - The Alien in Alien 3 was actually ashen grey for the most part.
The only real exception has been from AR onwards, and Alien, where they were pretty much the colour that they wound up in the film.
well this is just a render with out any color correction, once its in the scene i'll color correct it to match the environment, i know for sure it will be darkish... thinking to add more spots, will play with the textures a little bit. i personally like black or black and brown. will see.
that is a great Predalien. sure as hell kicks Chet out of house. kinda lookes like the Dorman Predalien. I like it.
as long as he isn't gonna turn out to be a queen and try to use Chet's reproduction method, I'm happy.
I'm actualy gonna consider after seeing the film, wether to make it canon. I'm sure Its an awsome film, but I want to see it first.

But Kane wasn't hairless. Where was Giger's Alien's hair?
But dreads clearly aren't like mammal hair, they're tube-like. And assuming Preds don't really need to keep they're head warm, the dreads must serve another purpose.
Could be a balance/sensory thing I always thought?
Heck mabye even something that allows them to live really long lives.

They just look tube-like. There's no indication made at any point that they serve any other purpose besides just being hair.

Yeah, but hair/fur is there to keep whatever has it warm. Assuming Preds are brought up in hot locations, 'hair' on their head wouldn't be of any use.

How does one indicate hair is just...hair? Do you need to see a Predator at a beauty salon being shampooed in order to prove that?
QuoteDo you need to see a Predator at a beauty salon being shampooed in order to prove that?
You got it.
Aliens don't take eyes or noses. They don't take ears, either, which are not only sensory organs but help us with balance. They don't take external genitalia, hard-wired as it is into our biology.
Something that would make the Predators live longer would likely have no use to an Alien, which we haven't ever seen reach old age and die.
Scar's dreadlocks were set on fire, and he seemed perfectly fine with the whole thing.
If there were important, no intelligent species would keep them flopping in the open unprotected. They wear armour over their face and body ... yet neglect this seemingly indispensable organ flopping around their head?
There's nothing saying they're tubes either - They don't seem hollow.
At the end of the day there's nothing they could be that would mean an Alien should take them.
Except people don't bother thinking and just say "Well dur it lookz kool".
maybe the dreadlocks are to help the Predator cool its body down. Idk.
anywho back on topic.
the Predalien looks good. but the body looks a little too much like ADI's design. please give him a more biomechanical look please. we don't need another Chet.

Indeed.

I thing the design itself does look better then chet.
I played around a bit with the textures but i think it does indeed look the best with a bit of a brownish look.

You have to save it to your PC to see it in full size. I think it will look very good in AvP:Redemption with all the Spaceship environments.

I didn't animate the figure in the programme, this is the stage of how you open it.
And there was a reason why i chose a darker look and didn't lit the back of the head but you wanted it spot on so there it is.
That's why i can understand why Alex makes the movie dark, its hard to hide the in-perfections of the 3D figures.
I still think it looks good though. Great design.
The Predalien looks great. Keep up the good work Alex!

The mandibles, IMHO, do not look like Chet's; they look to me fully integrated into the head.
I dunno, the lower mandibles look glued on. Maybe it's because they're extended. As long as they close properly, I'll be happy.
theres already a screeny with his mandibles closed. and they are closed right.
I have yet to see a Predalien design that I really like.
This one isn't as bad as most,its decent.
What's been your favourite of all the ones you have seen?
A more suiting question would be: what exactly would you like to see in a PredAlien?
well, I like to see a predalien that has armored skin. like make the fleshy bits like armor.
but this Predalien looks great.
armored skin is a cool idea !!! i just posted a render of predalien with a new textures , more spots, more contrast in the skin details and a little bit brown/red, hope everyone like it :)
Armour? What for? Regular alien drones and warriors don't have any.

Ah, man. I don't even think Chet was as bad as the AVP2 PredAlien. Thing's so fleshy it looks like rolls of fat with dreads and mandibles ::)
It looks that way to you probably because the graphics are so old. The thing looks lumpy.
thanks Alex. please go ahead and use the idea. it'll be sweet!
It makes no sense. They're already armoured.

Actually, in War, one of the AVP novels, its explained that pred hair actually is like mammal hair. One of their manhood rituals is the excruciatingly painful permanent braiding of the hair, after which it is bound up in the tentacle-ish things that we've always seen, which are evidently some kind of plastic-y material. Very, very EU but it works for me.
Quote

Actually, the novels aren't canon, good that it works for you but i go with what we've seen in the movies, which is they don't have hair but tubes running out of their skulls.
Predators with normal hair is even more ridiculous then all the concept art where Predators have tits.
Predators do have normal hair. What do you call those little strands growing on their face? They're not spikes.
I always imagined them to be sensory organs, not hair. Unfortunatley, there is nothing to base this on.
QuotePredators do have normal hair. What do you call those little strands growing on their face?
I would call them spikes yes. They are robust, if they would be normal hair they would behave like normal hair (like flopping, or moving because of wind) but they seem to stick where they are even if the Predator moves fast.
There is no indication to not call them spikes.
But we are way off topic here, this thread is for
Redemption.
Actually, I wish the AvP movies were not considered canon in any ways.
In any way? Well, i'm not sure if this is true or not, but someone once said that Anderson said that his film was based on an alternate universe.
Are there any behind the scenes snippets of this movie besides the trailer...or are all we have are pics?
Anderson did want his movie and the others to coexist. He goes on about how Charles Weyland is the founder of modern robotics, further down the line when androids are created, they use his face etc.
Anyways, Redemption.
Well that explains that...anyway, my question still stands! lol...i'll go check around.
It's a fair enough question, most people tend to regard it as nothing to do with the other movies. As for me, I think it's solid enough fit in with the timeline.
About the PredAlien Alex, what vocals will you be giving it? I've always like the 'clicking screech' the Burster had at the end of AvP.
not sure about Predaliens vocals yet, may be even mix some metallic scratch sound in the voice. as for now im working on last few shots leading to the fight with predalien, also working on choreography. "Scott" will be using his spear to fight, but i dont want it to look like AVPRs end fight even i liked some parts of it, im working on something new right now. :)
Hmm, so that means the Preds gonna kick ass and every Aliens a gonna die then. :-\
well predator will kick some aliens asses , but it doesnt mean its gonna be easy, he'll get slapped around a few times too :)
As long as the Aliens are in character it's sound.

Hate to say it Alex, but that's what the BS said, and uh, look where that got us...
Yeah, and their definition of Wolf getting 'f**ked up' is having a pole impale his leg. :P
in every fight im trying to find a balance, if its a long range battle than predator uses weapons and alien dies fast, if its up close fight than predator gets slapped around in it but still wins, cause he needs to get to the queen some how, right. so i hear what all of you are saying and trying to take it in consideration.
Long as you understand our concern :)
i do , how ever im debating about this idea i have. i relly want to do one scene where predator goes on a rampage and kills like 5 aliens with in 30 seconds. with explanation of how he was able to do that. what do u guys think, wanna see it or not?
Depends on the explanation.
Anything short of "He shoots them all from a distance" and I'm leaning towards no.
its your movie Alex. if you got an Idea you like to try. do it.
but yeah, as long as you explain why he goes bonkers I'm sure it'll work.
Heheh ... heh ... no.
The Bros explained why Wolf was able to do the stuff he did.
Did it work?
No. It was still retarded.
@ Alex,
Just don't make it too easy. Also, keep the "Alien Essense" alive. The AVP films ruined that. Aliens are silent, deadly, almost impossible to kill (going by A L I E N), so make it a struggle. Also, notice how all the Preds die at the end? Well, maybe you could have him survive, to break away from the trend.
All in all, it's up to you, I would just say to remember the species in how they were "meant" to be, not how the AVP films F***ed them up. ;)
QuoteI would just say to remember the species in how they were "meant" to be
Then he has to go by the original Predator as well, which is the stalking killing machine that's a bitch to kill and can rip you apart with its bare hands.
The footage he has shown us so far speaks against it already, it looks very AvP´ish with all the code of Honor shit that's going around. I want to see them used as tools again, i don't want to follow him half the movie and see every single motivation that makes him do things.
I want to see the Demon like Predators from the first two movies back, that are almost like ghosts in their appearance, they know where you are and they pop up and you're the hunted.
People always complain about the Aliens portrayed wrong, but so is the Predator.
Quotealmost impossible to kill (going by A L I E N)
That's not a very good example, what did they have to defend themselves? A
selfmade flamethrower that when you shot it it caused more damage to the ship then to anything else. All they could do was run away or hide and trying to blast it out of the airlock.
Going by that there is no indication to say that its almost impossible to kill. Neither going by the other movies especially Aliens, which is an Aliens bitchslap fest.
I'd like to think AvP kept the Aliens in their grounds. The Grid fight is pretty accurate on how an Alien would try and kill a Predator. Attacks it up front but when it realises that isn't working, it uses it's enviroment.
As for the Predator, I've never liked this 'honor' thing. If it kills an unarmed foe then I wouldn't think it would really give a toss.
QuoteI'd like to think AvP kept the Aliens in their grounds. The Grid fight is pretty accurate on how an Alien would try and kill a Predator.
But then again, i don't think it was accurate of how a Predator would fight an Alien.
The only good move was to remove the Aliens tail, that's about it. Otherwise it behaved like a wrestler or exactly what it was, a short couchpotato in a rubber suit. Sometimes like both at the same time.
How else was it going to fight the thing?
Its blades melted off, it had no spear, the net is useless at extreme close range and it had no gun. All it could hope to do was beat the shit out of the thing, which it tried to do in spades.
Unless you wanted it to break out the martial arts ;)
QuoteHow else was it going to fight the thing?
Anything that doesn't look like a wrestler that has overweight is welcome.
QuoteIts blades melted off
And that was a failure to begin with. A species that fights Aliens for
thousands of years, that has managed to create space travel technology and has a highly defensive weapon system isn't able to enhance their weapons to make it acid proof? Very unlikely.
Quotethe net is useless at extreme close range
Given the scene where the Predator shoots the net while the Alien is jumping at him in high speed i would say the net works pretty good at close range. there is the scene while they just stand there and the alien is snorting at him, there was enough opportunity to use the net gun.
Quoteit had no spear
It was right next to him sticking in Colin Salmon , all he had to do is to just grab it.
QuoteAll it could hope to do was beat the shit out of the thing, which it tried to do in spades.
And there would be nothing wrong with it when he would at least
try to kill it. It was on the ground, he had thick sandales, try to crush the head, rip its inner jaw out while its on the ground, just do something to kill the thing.. but Noooo.
QuoteUnless you wanted it to break out the martial arts
I just wanted it to behave like something that knows what its doing. And there comes the agile problem. Its just standing there letting itself getting fooled by the Aliens tail or even falling to the ground instead of jumping in the air to avoid something like that.
When Predators don't have weapons they become fighters, they punch and use their shattering strength, give the Alien a good swing like the first one did with dutch, let nothing untried to harm the thing, not tackle it or roll on the floor.

The net was the right weapon to use, but like I've said countless times before, Anderson thought it would be so much cooler to have Celtic pose and that's why he lost.
a lot of good points, aliens are not that smart, its pure animal instincts, stock, hide, attack, kill. they are hard to kill if you are a human with no gun (Alien1 & 3) but if you have long range weapon or 10 times stronger than average human than its all about how fast and accurate you are. Aliens 2 had piles of alien bodies, specially when they keep coming towards the turrets (not too smart). as for the predators fighting skills they would use weapons and if out of them than it comes to fists, kicks, wrist blades, maybe even using the environments. as for wrestling and rolling on the ground....well... if the alien jumped on you and pinned you to the ground, wrestling skills are helpful i think, to somehow get up or change the position to get on top or something. than nothing wrong with wrestling. that's why its kind of challenging to come out with a good choreography for my fight scenes :) as for the hand weapons, yes they should be acid proof.

QuoteAliens 2 had piles of alien bodies, specially when they keep coming towards the turrets (not too smart).
Firstly, it wasn't "piles". The confirmed kills are around, what, 30? Of 150? The bodies weren't piling up when they were going for the turrets, because there were still masses of them chasing Ripley and Hicks at the end.
Secondly, running at the turrets is something
humans have a long, long history of doing. Yet we also have rocket scientists and neurosurgeons.

They had acid-proof weapons. The wristblades just weren't one of them.
QuoteGiven the scene where the Predator shoots the net while the Alien is jumping at him in high speed i would say the net works pretty good at close range.
Hi, I said
extreme close range. As in, Alien grabbing you close range. The net needs space to unfold - At the distance Celtic had with Grid most of the fight, it would've just been a rolled up net punching into the Alien's stomach, and nothing else. Not terribly effective.
Quotethere is the scene while they just stand there and the alien is snorting at him, there was enough opportunity to use the net gun.
Not using the net then was smart. The Alien could've easily dodged - The shoulder cannon fires a faster projectile, and they can dodge
that. Hell, they can dodge bullets. The Alien would've seen the net coming from the end of the corridor and, y'know ... stepped to the side.
QuoteIt was right next to him sticking in Colin Salmon , all he had to do is to just grab it.
Grid jumped on him and knocked him away from the spear. From then it was more interested in not getting killed, and then it had the Alien in the net.
QuoteAnd there would be nothing wrong with it when he would at least try to kill it. It was on the ground, he had thick sandales, try to crush the head, rip its inner jaw out while its on the ground, just do something to kill the thing.. but Noooo.
And this is where Anderson giving the Alien the tiniest bit of f**king credit comes in, and not having its head splattered by a Predator's boot.

dude you dont have to like what i think about Aliens or Predators, the mentality that i stated this project with was to make the film that I want to make, after all its my free time that im gonna spend on it, and as long as im happy with it, job well done than, and if people enjoyed watching it, that would make me even happier. as for "Aliens 2" alien body count it was "high" and it didn't look like it was much of a problem to blow them in to pieces with a rifles. they just overrun humans with their numbers.

I'm not saying I should either.

Of course!
Quoteas for "Aliens 2"
There's an
Aliens 2 now ???
Quotealien body count it was "high" and it didn't look like it was much of a problem to blow them in to pieces with a rifles.
Except the times we see bullets bouncing off. And that the actual number of times we see an Alien irrefutably
die are actually very,
very few. Mostly we see Aliens get shot and fall back out of frame, but that doesn't mean they're
dead.
Quotethey just overrun humans with their numbers.
Yeah, because tactfully using the various environments to sneak up and ambush their prey had
nothing to do with it whatsoever. No sir.
Quote from: alexpj19 on Feb 05, 2009, 07:48:32 PM
in every fight im trying to find a balance, if its a long range battle than predator uses weapons and alien dies fast, if its up close fight than predator gets slapped around in it but still wins, cause he needs to get to the queen some how, right. so i hear what all of you are saying and trying to take it in consideration.
That's the problem AvPR had right? If you have one Predator he
cannot die because he has to go to the end, (plot armor, more powerful than anything.) It becomes a problem when the Predator kills 20 Aliens without breaking a sweat because it would be 'cool'. As long as the fights are plausible and the Aliens are shown to be formidable opponents, I'll be happy.
I gotta agree with SiL, he's right in all counts, especially about using strategy to take the humans out.
Alex, if I may make a suggestion...don't have the Predator tackling multiple Aliens at once. Do a few one-on-one fights, that way more effort can be put into making the fights seem plausible, then everything else: long range caster shootouts.
yeah , im gravitating towards "not having 5 aliens dead in 30 seconds" it will also save some production time and give me more time to work on predalien fight.
I guess at the end of the day, you want a badass Predator. The best (and only way actually) to do that it is to have him go up against dangerous enemies, ones that are capable of killing him if he makes one wrong move, yet he still ends up triumphant. Also, fights are way more entertaining when you can't tell whose going to win. I know 'Scott's going to survive to the end, but it would make the battles more interesting if the Alien bloodies him before it dies. Scenes like that in Requiem? Nope.
I do also agree with Sil. He proves a valid point. (Nice job explaining the Aliens' in their intirety)
@Alex,
I would stray from 5 Aliens dead in 30 seconds, cause then it would turn into a blood bath brawl as opposed to an intense, skill driven one-on-one battle.
(Way more entertaining to watch each speacies fight one on one for a longer time, than a bunch of them in a short ammount of time.)
- My suggestions. ;)
Lesson Learned:At the end of the day,One Predator against many Aliens or one Alien against many Predators,just doesn't work.
also. make sure the Environment suffures the fiight too. like something getting smashed here. and a wall crumbling there. give that ship hell!
also if ya can. see if you can make some referances to the Original ALIEN. like Scott blasting an Alien out of an Airlock or something.
also, I always wanted to see a Predator go Jason Voorhees to an Alien when hes about to kill it. so like after a long fight. have the Predator like rip out the Alien's Extending Jaw and Idk. Stab it into its head. also. if you realy like to try a 2 on one. I'd say after a few minutes of the Aliens kickin the Predator's Ass. have the predator get the upper hand by grabbing an Alien's Tail and Impaling the other Alien with the other's tail.
Also. try having the Predator use its Environment as a weapon. such as if it can't use his weapons for some reason or another, he should like grab a bar or something to beat the Alien up.
Idk. just throwing in some ideas. but I speek for us all to say we don't need to see an uber Predator like Wolf was potrayed in AvP-R. infact. if you can. see if you can make some scenes where Scott gets in such a bad fight and something happens to where the viewer think's he's dead. and right when you beleave hes gone. he comes back with a vengiance.

Firstly, wouldn't work - The jaw goes limp when it's not in use.
Secondly, hello? Acid blood?
Quotehave the predator get the upper hand by grabbing an Alien's Tail and Impaling the other Alien with the other's tail.
The Alien would still have control over the tail, and again, acid.
at this moment i have all fights filmed except predalien and the queen. but they are already choreographed. they all very plausible and not overpowering the predator. so far i have 5 drone aliens and 1 facehugger dead.
oh and as for destructable environment..... i think u r asking too much, i can only do so much.
Any acid burns, at least? :P
i'll have some shots of acid burns, but not on the predator, technicaly its hard to do, plus not all the fights are close encounters.
Quote
Secondly, hello? Acid blood?
You overrate the acid blood way too much.
It doesn't mean that when the Predator stabs an alien there is acid blood all over the place.
There is a shot in Aliens where Hicks is on the ground and an Alien is jumping right over him, he shoots it with the pulse rifle and he doesn't get a single drop of acid blood on him.
Vasquez shoots it in the mouth like 5 times and it needs a bit of time before the acid blood starts to flow and she gets her foot burned.
Plus the Predator has a hard and tough skin, wolf must have got quite a bit of acid on his face when hunting aliens at one point of his life, he is still alive, Drake from
Aliens on the other side isn't.
It hurts, it burns but it doesn't mean it has to kill a Predator when he gets acid on him.
Quote from: Johnny Handsome on Feb 07, 2009, 09:34:22 AMIt doesn't mean that when the Predator stabs an alien there is acid blood all over the place.
Well yeah. Kind'a does.
Especially in the head. Never got a cut anywhere on your head? The tiniest little nick will bleed way more than the same size wound anywhere else on your body. There's a lot of blood going up there - Stabbing into an Alien's head is the last thing you want to do.
Unless the script's being done over by the Brothers Strause/a Predator fan.
QuoteThere is a shot in Aliens where Hicks is on the ground and an Alien is jumping right over him, he shoots it with the pulse rifle and he doesn't get a single drop of acid blood on him.
Him not actually hitting it may have something to do with that.
QuoteVasquez shoots it in the mouth like 5 times and it needs a bit of time before the acid blood starts to flow and she gets her foot burned.
The blood starts as soon as the skull and skin are breached.
QuoteIt hurts, it burns but it doesn't mean it has to kill a Predator when he gets acid on him.
I never said it should. That would be stupid.
But so would stabbing an Alien in the face up close. Damaging your hand with severe burns when you're trying to fend off opponents close range - Not particularly clever. Surely Predators are at least that smart?
As for the Predator skin, doesn't really hold - Lex's scar was no worse than Scar's.

Stabbing something into its head and having a cut isn't really the same thing.
Its like with Lex and the alien, she impales it and the blood shoots into the direction of the spear.
When you hit or stab something really quick the exit wound will always be bigger then the entrance wound. Its like with a bullet, when you shoot someone a high speed projectile in the head the hole is tiny in the front and much, much bigger at the exit wound.
QuoteHim not actually hitting it may have something to do with that.
Then why does the alien bother to screech ?
QuoteThe blood starts as soon as the skull and skin are breached.
Nope, when you watch the scene you see that the alien gets hurt with the first shot and you can see tiny pieces fly by. It gets hurt with the first shot.
Going back to your example, when you cut yourself it still needs a bit of time until the blood starts to flow. The blood needs to get pumped through your skin and flesh until reaching the surface and given that the alien has a hard outer shell the blood need even longer to come through that.
QuoteBut so would stabbing an Alien in the face up close. Damaging your hand with severe burns when you're trying to fend off opponents close range - Not particularly clever. Surely Predators are at least that smart?
In the heat of the combat you just think of your survival, not that you get out of the situation without a scratch. You do whatever you think is effective of killing your enemy, when the enemy is dead and you re hurt that's the point when you start to think about your actions and how you could have done this and that better.
QuoteAs for the Predator skin, doesn't really hold - Lex's scar was no worse than Scar's.
It does hold because Lex only gets a little drip of blood on top of the alien finger on her skin while the predator did ram the whole facehuger finger with its open wound into its head when marking himself. Bit of a difference.
Quote from: Johnny Handsome on Feb 07, 2009, 10:36:53 AM

You're right. Stabbing is
worse. You open up more blood vessels.
Look at someone who's shot themselves in the head. Even if there's no exit wound, blood starts gushing out of the nose and mouth in almost comedic amounts.
QuoteThen why does the alien bother to screech ?
I could ask that about any of the fifty billion times the Aliens screech when they're not even within sight of a character between
Alien 3 and
AvPR. Ever since
Aliens they've just ... screeched.

I'm having a really, really hard time buying this argument for someone who bitches about wrestling Predators when the
exact same thing could be applied to that situation. :-\

Dead facehugger, meaning neutralised acid.
Actually looking at the wounds, Lex's
is smaller than Scar's.
QuoteYou're right. Stabbing is worse. You open up more blood vessels.

Given the alien has a very long head filled with its brain you could stab from any angle and still injure it very badly. You don't have to stab it right in the face so you can avoid the blood coming out of the mouth.
We see a Predator on top of the pyramid with an Alien head impaled on his spear, no traces of acid blood on him, so one could say its possible.
QuoteI could ask that about any of the fifty billion times the Aliens screech when they're not even within sight of a character between Alien 3 and AvPR. Ever since Aliens they've just ... screeched.
The Aliens still have more then one screech fitting different emotions. Were talking the movie
Aliens here, and
in that particular one they only screech when they are getting hurt or blasted away. Otherwise they give more of a hissing.
So again, why does the Alien bother to screech when it isnt hurt? Like they did in this movie when they are getting shot at
only.
QuoteI'm having a really, really hard time buying this argument for someone who bitches about wrestling Predators when the exact same thing could be applied to that situation.
I said "do whatever you think is effective of
killing your enemy", wrestling and rolling around on the floor being none of those methods.
QuoteDead facehugger, meaning neutralised acid.
Actually looking at the wounds, Lex's is smaller than Scar's.
Then why was the acid blood still active on the alien's finger lex killed 20 minutes ago or even more?
That only confirms my argument even more of Predator having tough skin, when Alien acid can burn someones face 20 minutes after its killing then how tough must it have been for scar burning himself with a alien he killed seconds ago ? Still, there is almost no difference wound wise. And scar was burning him with the whole open finger and not just a drip of acid like Lex.
Quote from: Johnny Handsome on Feb 07, 2009, 11:54:52 AMSo again, why does the Alien bother to screech when it isnt hurt? Like they did in this movie when they are getting shot at only.
The script calls for the Aliens to be screaming during the entire scene, "More like sounds of anger than pain" or somesuch. I can find the exact quote if you want.
QuoteI said "do whatever you think is effective of killing your enemy", wrestling and rolling around on the floor being none of those methods.
Some effort is usually required to kill something. It doesn't just happen. The Predator had to get into a position where it
could kill the Alien. which is what it tried and succeeded in doing.
QuoteThat only confirms my argument even more of Predator having tough skin, when Alien acid can burn someones face 20 minutes after its killing then how tough must it have been for scar burning himself with a alien he killed seconds ago ?

A tiny nick on a hugger's finger burns through two decks of a starship, with each deck being several feet thick.
If the acid was still going full strength when Scar marked himself, he'd be fricking dead.
Unless you're going to start saying that Wolf took a fricking shower in the acid or something for it to do as much damage as it did, which is what he would need to do to get that burned when Preds are obviously
that resilient.
And man, at the end of the day, all I'm saying is the whole idea was just stupid, for lots of reasons, and the acid blood is just one of them! That's it. I'm not saying the Predator would die, or be incapacitated, or have to go setting off his self destruct - Just that injuring his hand is the last thing it'd want to do, and an experience hunter would know that.
That's it!
QuoteThe script calls for the Aliens to be screaming during the entire scene, "More like sounds of anger than pain" or somesuch. I can find the exact quote if you want.
But you know how it goes, what is being done in a script can be much different what makes it to the screen.
All we can really go by is the movie, and it shows that when an alien gets shot or hurt in any way they give that particular screech out.
Its only logical that when an alien gets shot the screech is more meant to be a emotion of pain then anger. You say the script says that they are screeching throughout the whole scene, which they weren't doing in the movie. Another example of a idea that was ultimately dropped.
QuoteSome effort is usually required to kill something. It doesn't just happen.
The difference is to know what effort is appropriate to make it happen. There are many ways, all I'm saying is rolling on the floor or wrestling are not on top of that list when you're fighting a dangerous species. If you re fighting something that is just as dangerous as you are you
have to know that you are going to get hurt anyway, the only thing that still counts is that you kill the thing as effective and quick as possible and not worry about that you don't get a scratch on your pretty face, otherwise you're stupid, you don't go into brawl with the thought of getting out of there completely unhurt because you're getting hurt
anyway, the only way to do it is that you demoralize your enemy as quick as possible before it gets to the stage where he demoralizes you.
Which is exactly what happened to the Predator.
QuoteUnless you're going to start saying that Wolf took a fricking shower in the acid or something for it to do as much damage as it did, which is what he would need to do to get that burned when Preds are obviously that resilient.
Drake in
Aliens got quite some acid on his face, one side of his face looked almost the same as wolf`s, Drake died, wolf lived. He got serious damage but they have to have some sort of tough skin otherwise he would have been dead.
This is also confirmed by the original movies, the jungle hunter got a solid log on his head, any human would be dead in a second, although he was injured he was still alive, before that he was blasted by two point blank grenades. Dutch gave him a good swing to the face with full power, a human would have a laceration or worse, he had nothing. Predator 2 was hit by multiple shotgun blasts, the same one that Harrigan used to kill like 6 guys with a
single shot, and unless you're Alex Murphy who becomes RoboCop you're dead, predator lives and gets shot by Harrigans gun at the rooftop again. Hes injured, yes, but anything with human-like skin and organs would have been dead a long time ago.
Look what we did to this thread, sry Alex :-[ Lets wrap it up now, if we want to argue further more i suggest we do it in the right thread.
Although we disagree on many things and go back and forth all the time i think its nice to have a normal argue with you without any insults, something this site should have had more often.

And yet we don't see any bullets hit, nor do we see the Alien die, nor do we see it bleed. :)

Which is impossible if you've never actually fought whatever it is you're fighting before :)
QuoteDrake in Aliens got quite some acid on his face, one side of his face looked almost the same as wolf`s, Drake died, wolf lived. He got serious damage but they have to have some sort of tough skin otherwise he would have been dead.
Actually it's more easily explained by the fact that the acid was going directly into Drake's face, while it was largely just eating at Wolf's mandibles and the skin between them.
You're also forgetting that Drake's wound was scene immediately after the acid hit him - We don't know what it wound up looking like. Wolf could easily have been hit with less.
QuoteThis is also confirmed by the original movies, the jungle hunter got a solid log on his head, any human would be dead in a second
Skin strength would have nothing to do with that, or pretty much anything else after this you listed. Mac still sent a round through the Predator's leg with an ordinary assault rifle, before even picking up the minigun. :)
Anyway!
So what remains to be filmed, Alex?
predalien fight, Queen, one more drone encounter, and human parts.... about 3 or 4 days of filming.
How hard is it doing the fights when there are no Aliens to physically interact with?
well the hard part is to imagine every second, every shot , camera angle , every move of the characters in the scene in your head first and sketch up the story board, once you got that done in every detail dericting the actor is not that hard when you know exactly what you want. the second part is technical, how do you combine all of the element to make it look like it belongs there.
I appreciate all you're doing Alex, it must be pretty tough. How much pressure are you under can I ask?
i still cant wait for your next trailer. it must be EPIC! not to put any pressure on you. :D ;)
^^^^^^^^^
Is there a release date for that?
I second that. The latest trailer said Fall :o
guys it will be at least 3-4 month before i know the release date. :-[

It's looking great so far, don't rush to finish it.
hey guys 2 new screens are uploaded and will pop in the gallery any time now :)
Awsome.
keep the work up there buddy.
The first of the new pics looks really nice, but got a case of the "can't see shit" going on. That may just be this crummy monitor, though.
I can see the second pic pretty clearly. The first one is awesome, I love how you rendered the Pred's heat vision ;D
QuoteI can see the second pic pretty clearly.
Yeah its all fine on my monitor, i can see it well.
nice new screens!
Are there going to be any other Alien hybrids in the film?
I'm a tad bit curious. I'd love to see more Alien species. Oh and by the way, do you have a name for your Predator character at all?
Only if you consider the Predalien as such.
The Predalien's in the film?
Yup. Check a few pages back.
Thanks for informing me. The Predalien design looks much better than the one in AVP2. The mandibles are still not appropriately fitted onto the jaws, but at least they aren't as oversized as the ones Chet had ;)
Indeed. And those damn pecs have been mercifully erased.
I'm glad they have too. That's one of the problems I have with AVP2, the ridiculous Predalien design. The back of the Predalien looks fine, the tail is excellent, but everytime I see the front chest of the Predalien, I cringe. It looks stupid and weird. What's even worse, is the fact that the Predalien is multicoloured. Even though all the other Aliens were multicoloured as well, the colours blended in well. In the case of the Predalien, the colours just don't fit and tonally stick out from each other. It makes it look like two creature have been mashed together :-\

yeah the Predalien in AvP-R was rediculess looking. I can design a better predalien. but looks like Alex beet me too it. lol
From the alien side of things, AVP2 didn't capture too well. The aliens looked like men in suits most of the time, despite the amount of the technology available to avoid a result like that and Predalien, as stated before, looked like two creatures had been mashed and crammed together.
I'm soooooooo lookin' forward to this :P

okay Alex. PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING! PLEASE I"M BEGGING! :'( :'( :'(
Trust me, Alex would do well not to post anything new. It's a short movie, we wouldn't want to see everything. (A.K.A the Requiem Factor ;) )
Alex is doing his best (I hope.) I know how difficult it is to just produce an animated film, let alone a CG/live action movie!
Unless he's dead. :-X

Keep in mind, Fox may have already caught wind of this, and if thats the case, they may attempt, if they haven't already to try and stop his production with a cease and discontinue order, due to copyright laws. I've seen it done before with a mod for a game, I've seen it already done with an AvP fan film, and I am beginning to fear the worst and they forced him to stop.
This isn't the first CGI fan film AvP movie that was started, the first one I was following was stopped roughly a year before the first film came out.
Keep in mind copyright laws prohibit such actions due to the fact that as awesome as the film may be, the people who created them either use their creation as a sort of resume or a product to promote their work, even though it wasn't intend to generate money.
If this is the case, I ask Alex to not string people along and let us know he's still alive, and has not be contacted by FOX. I saw the trailer, its bad ass, and it deserves to be completed, but its availability to the public may be limited, if not non completely closed to public eyes.
I do not believe Alex has been Foxed, friend. He probably would've let us know by now.
You think the mods would've heard something since Hicks is the guy who conducts all the interviews.

If this is the case, I ask Alex to not string people along and let us know he's still alive, and has not be contacted by FOX. I saw the trailer, its bad ass, and it deserves to be completed, but its availability to the public may be limited, if not non completely closed to public eyes.
A few months ago ALex had contacted FOX and they gave him the thumbs up to continue the ptoject as long as he didn't make any profit off the film.
FOX could have changed their minds if they heard he went against the deal, but I doubt it. He probably got caught up in other things. He should be allowed to have a life to ya know. ;)
I doubt it's anything to do with Fox.
He's probably just taking a break from it. He is doing this by himself in his own free time.
Still, you'd think we'd hear something. Last time we heard anything was what, almost 6 months ago?
He posted a comment about it on YouTube a month ago:
QuoteAVPRD will come out some time this year, sorry no certain date and there is a lot to do , im working on it slowly, i might change some of the story to make it shorter, probably the human part of the story will be changed for now.
Now it's gonna be shorter? :-\
As long as it comes out this year as Darkness quoted, then I'm good.
i would like to make a trailer for the film using that trailer music "dark side of power" that was used in The Incredible Hulk trailer.
it is crazy.

I hold in my hand a written approval from fox confirming the deal to make it just for fun and no profit. So dont worry about foxing.
Is it signed in blood too?
nah but it is from 20th century fox.

FOX is a sentient machine based on ruining everything mankind loves.
Well, movies anyway.
i will be relieved when i see another post from alex. :)
Hey. It's Kyuubi no Kaiju. You know, the guy who asked for help on my AVP fan film.
Neways, great videos, man!
Quick question: do you have to get permission from Fox to make a fan film?
No
How did this thread go from Redemption to this other thing?
I dunno, but it's been a long, long time since we've had an update.
I just got some news from Alex via YouTube, I asked him if there is any news and he replied:
"no not yet, still waiting for everyone's schedule to work out for the shoot :("
At least he hasn't given up :-\

You really thought something happened to him?
A quick look at his profile showed me that he visited the forum regularly after all, it's just that he doesn't post anything. Why? Because he wants exactly the reactions you guys are giving him.

Good to know he's still around. Be nice if he could say hello around here at least.
Been looking around on his youtube page. Apparently he's been working on some Terminator stuff.
damn, i wish he could just say hi.
Hey man, yeah i kind of fell off the radar for a while, but no worries im alive and well :) AVPRD is not dead aether, its just my life was a bit busier than usual lately, holidays, family visits, moving to another apartment, summer travels and so on, plus the shooting schedual depends on actor's availability , they have thair own summere family activities. So basicaly i just couldnt finish filming what i need, but hopefully i'll work something up soon, and finish a few last scenes. :) project is not abandoned and it will be finished.
its nice to see that community is concerned :)

https://www.clipland.com/Summary/800008362/
Allso, permission is good to have incase some people say its ok but when the film is finished they fox you in the back ;)
Danny
Looks very cool. It only lists one actor, though. Is Alex cutting out the Human portion of the story?
^lol
We all appreciate the hard work that goes into things like this.
I think alex is now working in his recently new project of TERMINATOR
http://www.youtube.com/user/alexpj19
he said that the film will be about 15 -20 minutes long.
and the terminator stuff looks cool.
hey everyone, I just uploaded a set of photos from last night shoot on AVPgalaxy. now i have all the footage i need to finish a shorter version of AVPRD , this one will be without humans, they should pop in my gallery any time now., once again sorry for disappearing on you, its a bit crazy life for me at this moment, you know, work, family , summer.... Terminator project is something im working on while i didn't have anything on AV{RD, now i just shot last scenes for it, so im back on working on it till August 8 when i go on 3 weeks vacation. :) enjoy the photos, OHH, by the way, original "Scott" wasnt available that day, so i had to use another Scott, a body double :) but i think he did a very good job.
HALLELUYA ;D ;D ;D ;D
Yay! Good news
PS Hallelujah ;D
W00t! Thanks for letting us know :)
YES! great news Alex! and good to hear from you again! :)
HUZZAH!!
Yahoo!

sorry that i sound greedy.
hey guys long time no see, i took a little breake from AVPRD, and did a little Star Wars Short film called"Trail"
check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0992oIarq7Q
now im back on AVPRD, rendering of predalien takes forever :( but its moving forward.
Holy geez, allow me to be the first to welcome you back man!! We missed you :)
Welcome back, Alex :)
Some lovely shots in that, especially liked the use of the colours. Brilliant effects too buddy, only one I didn't really buy was the blood one. Other than that, loved it.
Glad to see you returning to AVP.
YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Excellent SW film, Alex! ;D
Thanks for the positive feed back guys :) i thought u all will be like "Star Wars??? WTF !!! where is our AVP ? "
Well ya...we're just not being rude ;D
Great short, Alex. Now give us AvP. Just kidding, take your time. We want the finished project to be awesome.
Awesome.
hey alex. do you have a planned release date for AVPRD? if you do, i'd like to know so that i can start making promotional posters for it; leading up to the release. ;)
here's a quick promotional poster i did...
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi374.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Foo183%2FJAROSHULK28%2FAVPRD-1.jpg&hash=228ad60088cc77e00daf5ab4d96134310c96120f)
Can't see it.
*in a Yoda voice* Impressive.
I'd rather the "TM" not be there, but otherwise, it's a very awesome poster.
This is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) Is there a general release date ?
Nope. Matter of fact, we haven't heard from Alex in a while...but, fan things like this, life tends to be an issue...
It was due to release almost 2 years ago...

The dark red text ain't that dark if that's your problem. If anyting it actually stands out; I can see it fine. Epic Fail it is not.

*sniffsniff* Is that...troll I smell?
well, thanks for the back up guys. people are entitled to their own opinion here. but they are not entitled to bitch.
So people who state a fact is a troll?? Peculiar..... must be a new definition of "troll".
It's basic design knowledge; bright text on dark background, dark text on light background. Not exactly rocket science.
Just look at the guy with weird definitions, Mr. Domino's sig image. Bright red text against a very dark blue background. It's even highlighted with a white outline.
So it's epic fail.. unless your intention is for people to strain their eyes in order to be able to read the text.
Stating a fact is one thing.
Stating it like a douche is another.
Amen. We're all for creative criticism but when you're acting like a superior, it's not something we tolerate here. We like to see respect for our members. This might be the internet, but it doesn't mean you can't act respectably and it doesn't mean I wont kick your ass to the curb if you don't start showing others respect.

Awww, go on...people are entitled to bitch too, if they want, surely?
But he used the phrase 'Epic Fail' (twice!) so in my book he's a douchebag anyway. :)
I can use it three times even: It's epic fail that SOME PEOPLE always assume too much.
If I had wanted to be a douche.. then I would simply have said: "hey dumb F***.. great work on that piece of crap....." and so on. But I didn't.
Only doucges here seem to be members attacking other members.

No, you didn't. But you also did word it very nicely did you? Since the internet is a method of communication that relies heavily on how you word your posts, it's important to come across in the correct manner. You came off as a jackass and as such other members came to the defense. It's why it's called a community. So if you didn't mean to sound like a douche, I suggest you be careful with how you word your posts.
okay guys, gonna try to stop this line of fire. i appreciate everyone's defense, and i respect everyones opinion. i don't want this to get this any worse over my stupid promo poster. let's not trash Alex's AVPRD thread please.
thank you. :)
I would just like to throw it out that I can see the text perfectly fine.
Nobody asked you, Space. ;D
Mind you, I'm not sure who they were asking, but I'm quite certain it wasn't you. :P
They may not have been asking me directly, but I am such an important person held in such high esteem, that everybody always wants to know what I think. :P
Oh my God - It's full of stars itself!
Precisely, and don't you forget it!
lol
soooooooooooo.............the hype is over again? :-\
This looks pretty good. I'll watch it when it comes out.

I want to congratulate you once more for both of the AvP and SW videos you've made. I'm impressed!.
Just a piece of advice on the Predator's eyes. Could you try a dark orange instead of that bright white color?. I honestly think the Predator would look pretty cooler with that "little" touch.
Hope this helps and keep up the good work! ;)
hey! new AVPRD pics were just uploaded by Alex and they look great!

nice job Alex ;)
Oh, jesus f**king christ, we can all breathe now.
Predalien?!
Didn't see that coming :-X
hmm....I think I like this predalien...
Not sure, though, have to wait till I can see it in action.
Certainly looks better than that f**ked up abomination from AvP:R(ectum).
It'd be nice if a new trailer would come around, but these images here are just fine.
Fantastic!
That's all i can say :)
Looking better all the time. Good job!
That Predalien looks rather good.
Really like that first picture. Nice to know Alex is still working on this.

IIRC, Alex said it would be around 30 minutes long.

Glad to hear from you again, my friend. We're all waiting patiently :)
Looking forward to this. Think this has been asked before, but what will the vocals be like for the PredAlien?
have no clue yet, probably more alienish
looking forward to this.
Glad to know you're back in the game, Alex. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Great news guys, AVPRD, is 99% finished, :) working on music now, and cant decide, if i should do a soundtrack from original movies or do something new but in the similar styles may be with a little bit more choirs in the back and tribal drums. what do you think.

yeah, you should try to mix both scores from AVP and AVP-R, with some of your own music in there too.
i would especially like to hear "Alien Fight" from Kloser's score and "National Guard Pt.2" from Tyler's score mixed together, cause they almost sound similar at one point. but you make the soundtrack however you want Alex. (obviously :D)
Also, how are you making your original music?
im grabbing the samples from different tracks and mixing them with some sound designes like choirs in the background, drums and other ambient sounds

guys what do you think of a track for one of the scenes to be a kind of a techno made out of some tribal drums, its fast but fits the action, kind of like hunt in sci-fi space jungle. its a bit out of the line of traditional soundtrack but it has some elements of traditional sounds. what do you think?
If you like it, so do we.

YES. Sounds great.
Do what works.
AHHHHH! YES!!! finaly! can't wait to see it Alex! will there be special features?
also if possible can you make some wallpapers and mouse cursers? lol
are we gonna get one last trailer before the big release?
maybe we don't need one actually.
alright guys its 2:30am and the soundtrack is finished, i decided against the techno sounding track for that one fight, now i need to do a sound effects and shoot one last scene for the opening of the film which i will do next weekends, oh and the opening title with ending credits, so total length will be about 16 minutes. so i think the release date is some time in April. :)
Good news then ^^
Woot! I can't wait. This is the version with just the Predator right? Not the human storyline?
right, how ever there will be humans for a few seconds in the begining
alexpg19, I hope your film is a much better film than AVPR, because I just can't stand that film! Its storylione, its characters, its creatures, its... It's just horrible! >:(

Thanks for updating us, Alex! I can't wait until it's released. :)
hey Alex, You gonna post the movie on Youtube in parts? like they did with TransFormers G1 episodes?
it'll be good for thoughs who have shower internet service (like myself) post three parts (or episodes)
but if its like, 30 minutes you can simply post 2 parts.
just an Idea is all.
can't wait to see it though.
As someone with a slow connection I second this idea :P
Just so long as you don't forego a HQ version for those of us who'd prefer it. :)

Guys film will be 16 min long so I might split it in 2 episodes plus ha mp4 file will be available for download on vimeo.com after a while
I like that Idea,
I might download the MP4 file.
but yeah, a 2 episode Youtube version will be a good plan. theres a lot of people out there with slow internet connections, so yeah,
thanks Alex. :D
will there be a sequil? I got ideas for a story.
Give him breathing space. This one isn't done yet.
MP4? Is that compatible with ipods?
And the trailers for the short look great. I can't wait for this movie!
Yeah should work just fine on iPod

Could've sworn you mentioned 30 mins at one point.
This is the version without human characters.
Aah. That should be interesting, considering we're already discussing that, lol.
It's April!!!! ;D
cAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!
I can't wait any longer!
This month?! OH, SHIT!
Wow, in April? Can't wait to see it :)
Can't wait. LETS ROCK!
will it be posted on youtube?
I think so.
If an Alien does not core like twelve Predators in the face I will be exceedingly upset.
I'm very excited for this, hope it's up soon.

Hey guys, im working hard to finish it , last weekends i went back to the studio and shot few additional scenes so now the film 3 minutes longer and has a few human characters so im making a new opening from what it was a month ago, i think its a small addition that will glue the story together.so far im on schedual + - 2 weeks. after final shots are finished i just need to finish sound effects and make an opening and closing credits. Oh and by the way, Predator got another little gadget. hope everyone will like he uses it for a few seconds but it looks cool. :)
AWESOME! Can't wait for the video!

So when can we expect the movie to be finished and ready for download good sir?

Please, like the aliens could actually kill a predator... thats why the first avp sucked...
thats what I like about this film, it respects both Creatures. The Pred doesn't kill a whole shit load of Aliens without a scratch (Wolf: AvP-R). or doesn't have the Facehuggers facehug somebody and the burster pop out two seconds after Huggie dies. (AVP)
can't wait to see this movie! I bet, it'll blow the official AvP films Fox made. lol, btw Alex, make sure you give Giger Credit for the Original Alien design please.
If not, he will launch his surface-to-surface phallic-shaped missiles.
And then make sure to give credit to Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shussett, Jim Thomas and John Thomas for 'Based on characters created by' while you're at it.

HEY! calm down, it was only a suggestion. he doesn't have to edit it if he doesn't want to. and besides, its his film, not ours. I was only trying to give him some good ideas when he starts on the credits. no need to flip out on somebody when they are being Cautious. we all know Fox is ok with this (so they say) but I hate to watch this on Youtube, come on the next day to finish the movie and find out Giger sued his ass. I mean yeah, it sounds unlikely, but I actualy like to be safe then sorry, I'm sure Alex feels the same.
take a damn chill pill people. as I said. I was only suggesting to Alex to give Giger the credit. Jeez. flippin out over a suggestion, and for thoughs who are gonna be a smart-ass and say, "you need to take a chill pill yourself---" I am just fine, I am simply defending myself.
But you do need to calm down.
No-one was attacking you. There was no reason to get so damned defensive.
And if you're going to say credit Giger, why not say credit the others? They all still get credit in the latest movies.

Actually I am serious, but this isn't the forum section to discuss it, but for the record, the aliens were never portrayed as fighters to begin with, let alone "fighers at close range." They specialize in ambushing, and attacking in the dark, which is to their advantage. They aren't warriors.
So it is impossible for Aliens to impale Predators, impregnate Predators, tear Predators apart, etc.
They are physically incapable of doing this to Predators.
Right.
I'm pretty sure ambushing is the same as attacking at close range. The Alien sneaks up on the Predator and...the Predator never sees life again.
I have to say, whoever said that Aliens could not impale predators with their tail is pretty dumb (I mean that with the utmost respect). Look at what the queen did to Bishop!!! I mean, yeah, its the queen, but the warriors and drones of the hive still have really sharp tails. In the first movie (Alien 1979) doesn't the alien stick its tail underneath Lambert and we hear her scream? I take that to mean that the alien stabbed her with its tail. Clearly, seeing as the predators flesh is just as fragile as ours (predator 2; got blown apart by Mike Harrigan's shotgun shells...) wouldn't the alien be capable of impaling a predator as well?
As for the xenomorphs being ambushers, I agree with that. However, just because we haven't seen something doesn't mean the aliens aren't capable of it. I mean, it ambushed the first predator when it stabbed it with its tail. The second predator was also clearly a threat, so it jumped on him. It ambushed one, jumped on another. In the prior alien movies, the aliens have never had any reason to get into an all out fight; the humans were, as you say, easy pickins.
Just adding to what AintGotTome2Bleed said, if the Queen in aliens is able to f**king hide from Ripley, Newt, and Bishop and is able to stealthily strike Bishop, then I don't see how anyone can say that Aliens can't do jack shit to the Predators.
BOOOOM!
QuoteClearly, seeing as the predators flesh is just as fragile as ours (predator 2; got blown apart by Mike Harrigan's shotgun shells...)
Clearly wrong.
Predator 2 didn't get blown apart by Harrigans shotgun, he had some tiny holes infact. You know what a shotgun at that range would do to a human body? Unless you're Robocop you would be blown to pieces as seen in the beginning of Predator 2, where it took
one shot in order to kill a human.
A grenade explodes right in front of the Predator in the first movie, he doesn't have a scratch. And it's not so much the skin as it's the muscle structure that's very, very tough. After all the Predator 2 jumped of a really high slaughterhouse right in front of King Willy and he didn't have to seem a problem with it at all.
I'm tired of this "the predator is just like us" bullshit, in Aliens they scream like bitches when they get hit by a shotgun, that's a reaction to pain, does that mean that their skin is "just like ours"? No.
That is where you are wrong. If you recall, the predator definitely DOES have scratches after the grenade explodes in front of it...how else would Dutch follow its trail of blood (lots of blood I might add)? Oh, he got a splinter. NO! However, I must agree that more damage would have been done to a human if a grenade exploded in front of them. I concede that point. However, therein lies a question that I would like to ask people involved in the movie; when the predator is shot by Mac firing blindly into the trees, he bleeds a load of blood onto a leaf. However, when a grenade explodes in front of him he bleeds only a small amount more (IMO). How does that work?
Anyway, on to Predator 2...The predator stops bullets shot by Bill Paxton's character (Forget name) at near point blank range. Clearly their armour is really, really strong, which is a possible reason for why it had surprisingly littlle damage after a grenade exploded right in front of it. In that case, the grenade blowing up is not a valid look at the predators flesh. The shotgun shots did not make little holes, they cut huge chunks out of the predators stomach. However, I must also concede that yes, more damage would have been done to a human. However, the flesh is clearly COMPARABLE at the very least. Maybe the predators is a LITTLE stronger. The fact is, they're a hell of a lot more muscular and tougher, and so are able to live through things that would normally kill humans, making them seem to have tougher skin. But they really don't. Maybe a little, but not enough of a difference to liken it to a rhinos hide to human flesh.
I never said the Predator was just like us...what I said was the skin was just as fragile. Now, maybe i was off by a little bit, but not a lot. Their flesh may be a little tougher, but not enough to go ape shit over someone calling them equally fragile.
QuoteThat is where you are wrong. If you recall, the predator definitely DOES have scratches after the grenade explodes in front of it
Yeah, after the
second grenade exploded right in front of him, and he only got this little scratch on his foot, wow, he's bleeding to death, a human probably wouldn't have a leg at all after that.
Besides, he only bleeds a little bit, with the Predator luring him into the cave with it's blood, by the time the Predator unmasked himself and is chasing dutch we don't see him bleed at all, that means the wound is almost healed by that point in time.
Quote

Mac shot at him at close range, firing at him for 8 seconds, he still only got that one wound on his leg, or to quote mac "Nothing on this earth would have lived, not at that range".

Anyway, on to Predator 2...The predator stops bullets shot by Bill Paxton's character (Forget name) at near point blank range.
Except that it didn't stop him, Lambert fired two full rounds at him, and he still got owned a few seconds later.
QuoteClearly their armour is really, really strong, which is a possible reason for why it had surprisingly littlle damage after a grenade exploded right in front of it. In that case, the grenade blowing up is not a valid look at the predators flesh.
Your point doesn't work here, at all, as he has most of his body uncovered:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/predator/productionstills/promo08.jpg)
Just like Predator 2, so saying it was the armour is not a valid argument.
QuoteThe shotgun shots did not make little holes, they cut huge chunks out of the predators stomach.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/predator2/bluray/normal_bluray1079.jpg)
I wouldn't call that huge chunks, considering it's a shotgun that blasts
through humans, he didn't even had internal bleeding, meaning that that bullets only scratched the surface, indicating that they have a pretty tough skin and muscular structure.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/albums/movies/predator2/bluray/normal_bluray0147.jpg)
All killed with
one shot, at a more far away distance i might add.
QuoteI never said the Predator was just like us...what I said was the skin was just as fragile.
But it's not, Keyes fires at it with liquid nitrogen, that would burn a human, the Predator doesn't like it as seen, but he doesn't show a chemical reaction to it that humans would, which would be burned skin.
So even that point is wrong. I agree, probably most of the damage get's blocked by their muscle structure, but they are also extremely resistant against fire, shrapnel and liquid nitrogen, making it very clear that their skin is also pretty though, not just "a little bit".
The Predator sure take damages from gunfire but thus are minor according to Predator 2 mostly.
Well there's still a theory about the cloaking device which works as a field protector while the Predator is cloaked but that doesn't apply in the situation of the shotgun when Harrigan fire a whole magazine.
Predator are naturally strong.
But Aliens so... they both have strong organisms and skeleton reinforcement.

I never stated an alien couldn't impale, impregnate, or even kill a predator, of course this is possible, very much so.
Get a dictionary, Ambushing, and attacking at close range have nothing in common. You can ambush at far range, or close range, I never said anything about close/far range.
I simply stated aliens are ambushing creatures, they don't square off against anyone aside from the black dude in alien 3, like that wasn't much of a challenge. Even then it took the alien a good minute to kill him.
My point is, and still will be that aliens can not go toe to toe with a predator and win, they can't square off and overpower a veteran hunter/warrior. Maybe an unblooded pred like the ones seen in the first avp, but against a predator like scar, or the one that fought Dutch, sorry, not happening.
Stay on topic, please and thank you.
guys dont forget all of my aliens are CGI interacting with an actor, im not a 3D guru so i had to work around alot of corners, like trying to choreograph the fights so they would be more realistic for me to do, of course i wish i could do more with 3D animation but at this point my skills are still limited :( plus the dammage on the predator would be very hard to do in post, it takes alot of tracking and rotoscoping. so keep it in mind when u watch it. still tried to make the fights some what fun to watch.
don't worry, Alex. we'll understand.

Can't wait to see the movie, the CGI use of the Predator's face in the trailer seemed to work. I have confidence the final product will be very finely polished. Just, please have a plot and characters that aren't walking, talking cliches.
Maybe Xenomorphs prefer to ambush people but that's just good combat tactics, it doesn't mean they don't have the means to go toe-to-toe with an enemy. The Xenomorphs are fast, strong, have a barbed tail and acidic blood. Why can't they take a veteran hunter? I'd say they would be perfectly engineered to go against anything its size and still come on top. Their intelligence and good sense to conduct ambushes is just a bonus.
You seem to imply that predators have 'power levels' or something, predators don't noticeably increase their size substantially in age. The only thing that changes is experience and that's debatable on how much that affects the combat in the first place. Sheer physical strength and speed would be the deciding factor in a brawl, there's no room for finesse when you're wielding massive wristblades. Besides, novice predators would probably be highly trained in combat even before their first blooding, (you can infer this because they're a warrior culture.)
I'd argue it wouldn't make a large difference if the Predators are veterans or newly blooded, there's only so much experience does for combat techniques when strength and speed would be the obvious deciding factor.
STILL PUMPED!!!!
SUPER-ULTRA POWER BUMP!!!!!!!!!

Im not going to go on a self praising rant, but because of my profession and career, basic and advanced combat was part of my training. I'm no Chuck Norris, but I consider myself big and strong enough to be somewhat intimidating in a fight. However, despite my size, if I knew I was going up against someone with extensive experience then I would have something to worry about, despite his size. Speed and strength fall short in comparison to experience in most situations. Sure an 80 year old man with experience would lose against a 25yr old dude in his prime, but thinking realistically a 25 yr old dude in his prime against a 37 year old with years of experience and still relatively in shape, the advantage falls in favor of the experience.
"Chance favors the prepared mind." I would actually say the opposite to what you stated is actual fact. Theres only so much speed and strength can do for you, in the end experience will be the deciding factor.

guys dont forget all of my aliens are CGI interacting with an actor, im not a 3D guru so i had to work around alot of corners, like trying to choreograph the fights so they would be more realistic for me to do, of course i wish i could do more with 3D animation but at this point my skills are still limited :( plus the dammage on the predator would be very hard to do in post, it takes alot of tracking and rotoscoping. so keep it in mind when u watch it. still tried to make the fights some what fun to watch.
alex, if it is even half of what we saw in the trailers, its amazing! Can't wait!

Im not going to go on a self praising rant, but because of my profession and career, basic and advanced combat was part of my training. I'm no Chuck Norris, but I consider myself big and strong enough to be somewhat intimidating in a fight. However, despite my size, if I knew I was going up against someone with extensive experience then I would have something to worry about, despite his size. Speed and strength fall short in comparison to experience in most situations. Sure an 80 year old man with experience would lose against a 25yr old dude in his prime, but thinking realistically a 25 yr old dude in his prime against a 37 year old with years of experience and still relatively in shape, the advantage falls in favor of the experience.
"Chance favors the prepared mind." I would actually say the opposite to what you stated is actual fact. Theres only so much speed and strength can do for you, in the end experience will be the deciding factor.
I'd agree only if two opponents were roughly matched, and I'm not going to debate the merits of physical attributes in comparison to experience, but the Predator uses wrist blades. They're long and unwieldy, there's no fancy maneuvers. The Predators just hack and slash with them. I doubt they'd really pick up anything revolutionary, simply because they're probably highly trained by the time of their first hunt and their very weapons would limit what they could do.
I'm sure experience would refine their skills, I'm not denying that but I remain convinced that experience in the Predator's case wouldn't be such a deciding factor.
The Aliens themselves have the same kind of combat technique in each case, they use their claws, tail, bite in open combat. I'd argue after fighting a certain number of Xenomorphs there'd be precious little gleaned. It's like observing a dog. They might have their quirks but they all walk on all fours and have fur.
Xenomorphs don't have martial art styles, they all universally bite and claw and impale people. That's why I think strength and speed would be a greater deciding factor in a straight up fight between an Alien and a Predator.
Okay, I think there's enough off topicness. If you wanna debate who is stronger, go to some existing threads.

That's not bad, actually. Head is a bit on the long side, but it's otherwise nicely done.
IMO, that's really nice looking. It looks better than Chet, though I have never seen Chet in action.
@Corporal Hicks: thanks. and I was gettin tired of that dang offtopic crap. thanks.
the Predalien looks way better then the one in AvP-R. hey Alex, was this Predalien designed after the Dave Dorman design? or did you try and salvage what you could from Chet? either way. looks amazing!

ummmmmm. that's quite awesome.
This predalien design looks really good to me.
Spoiler
dreads at the end of the head seem rather funny to me though
Hell, I can't wait to watch this :D
IMO, its a nice touch. Looks better than in AVPR. This makes it appear that the Pred's dreds aren't really hair like ours, as the regular and dog aliens didn't get hair. Looks great!
Sooo, this month right? Is there a date? Can't wait!!!
I'm excited to. Really looking forward to seeing your finished work, Alex.
ok guys its official, all the visual part of the AVPRD is finished, now i just need to finish the sound design, and thats it, done , im hoping i'll finish tonight. BUT tomorrow morning im flying out to Seattle for a week, if ill finish tonight (very late) and im happy with everything i'll take it with me and upload it from Seattle, if not than i upload it after i get back and do tweeks if needed. :)
That's awesome news Alex. I look forward to it!
Fantastic. Can't wait!
Corporal, you have to put it on the home news page. let everyone KNOWWWWW!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
(please)
Alright people , rejoyce, avprd is officially finished it won't be released for a few more days or so I just want to make sure it's all polished up and don't need more work. Honestly I'm happy with it as is I still want to show it to family and friends first. So later I'll set a release date and u can start a countdown :) oh and the final is 22 min long
Coming back from a week long hiatus and seeing that Redemption is done is amazing.
Hurray!

You are full of epic win, Alex ;D
this is what I wish FOX would do with their movies. (actualy I wish all Major Movie Companies did this) instead of rushing trying to get it done on a release date, that has nuthing to do with the movie, they should work on the movie, polish it up 'til they its real good, and then show it to a test audiance, then, If they like it. put out trailors, posters, and interviews then release the film.
you see, this is why we'll never have "The Perfect Movie" because untill major movie company do what Alex is doing to make his movie good, they'll never achieve this.
now for some total day-dreaming for things that will never happen...
wouldn't it be cool if you where able to get Fox's OK and put this movie out on theatres then on DVD? it'll be SOOOO Kickass! then NECA will call and want to make millions of action figures of your Pred(s) (is there one or two. sorry I forgot) and the three Alien figures. then you'd make a shit load of money (it may be Fox's License, but they'd still have to pay you because it was your hard work that made the movie not theirs).
but as I stated before. all wishfull thinking. *Sigh*
Anyways, can't wait till the movie comes out. we should start doing some fan art. lol.

Uh, a lot of movies do.
And even if a movie tests for an audience they can end up crap. A lot of really good movies had negative test responses and a lot of shit ones had positive responses.
Test audiences are useless. If you get a group of people who are predisposed to not liking certain things your movie does, you're going to get an undeserved negative response.
We'll never get 'The Perfect Movie' because the people who make them are flawed.
"the Perfect Movie", is only Perfect to the viewer. not everybody is gonna like it. but only one or more viewers will like it. I'm not gonna explain it cuz nobody will understand it. so I'm just gonna drop it now before it all becomes offtopic BS.
ANYWAYS.
I hope this movie kicks some serious ass!
But if that's the case there are plenty of perfect movies. Like Die Hard :P
I mean recent movies. never saw Die Hard though. plan too. but haven't gotten around to it.
I ... I think I need to go lie down ...

Yeah, alex, no pressure... uh...
Can't wait!!!!
Due to my sheer awesomeness, Alex let me have an early look at the film. It easily exceeds S.E.E.D in every way. From the opening titles, you know it'll be special. The blend of CGI and practical elements is mostly seemless with only 1 particular section that stood out to me - I wont spoil anything as I promised not to.
The fights were mostly fair and balanced with only a scene or two that made me kinda wringle in my seat as an Alien fan. Alex tried real hard to make it work and I think it does so kudos for that.
The length seemed just about right. It never dragged and it carried well.
You're gonna love it. Think he said it's going online publically in about 3 or so days.
Wow, thank you. 3 days.. :o It will be hard to wait.

People waited 3
years for this movie to be finally ready to go, i think you can handle 3 more
days.
I'm interested in the visual effects part of this movie.
I didn't say it as a complaint. It was good to hear that it's 3 days, and I was very glad. Guess I should have used smiley instead of shocked :-\
It's ok, i didnt meant it as an attack. What i basically wanted to say was that this is a long, long, long time in production.
I'm patient, it's out when it's out, 3 days or 3 weeks, i don't care anymore. It will be a nice amusement though.
Looking forward to this now.
<30 minutes is pretty much the perfect length for a movie that comes from a Predator's perspective, and I trust the Corporal's opinion.
Freakin' awesome.
So cool! I can't wait for this!!!
If the Corporal thinks its cool, then I will watch it indefenantly! be good to watch an AvP film that will kick the theatrical AvP movies out of the water.

Give him some time you freaks.
How old is Alex? If he's still in school I can expect it to be on around 3:30, giving it time to process
i'm just excited, that's all. didn't mean to sound demanding. :-\
i just looked back at the first posts, and it seems so long ago when this project started. it's truly amazing that this is actually happening right now.
I applaud you Alex. thank you for finishing the film. ;)
What, it's not out yet?! :o
He's pushing it back, I bet...jj. ;D
Is it today yet?!
*EDITED*
well, hopefully tomorrow. ;)
is it possible he meant Friday May 21st?
people. no worries, i just flew back to San Diego and splitting the moview in 3 Parts and uploading to youtube right now as we speak, it will be there tonight, California time :) sorry for the delay hopefully there will be no mental breakdowns. ITS COMING!!!

alright so i split it in 3 parts, but the files are huge, so no im converting before uploading it on you tube, and its taking forever :(
We can wait.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks dude! This is gonna be awesome!!! LETS ROCK!
alright people, im still having issues with the youtube version, for some reason the sound gets off sync, so i decided to release the link from vimeo.com, so here you go, I give you AVP:Redemption :)
http://vimeo.com/11569380
Enjoy :)
i will update this version a bit later, when i figure out the sound problem. it will be wide screen and a but sharper i think.
Thx, watching it now.
EDIT: Watched it, i liked it, but the ending felt rushed and i felt like there were too much things going on. You tried to have everything in one 22 minute movie.
Spoiler
Drones, predalien, queen, humans etc. I felt like it was a bit of an overkill.
Besides a couple of things, the fx were good and it was a nice combination. I just wish you had a better pred suit.
But thx again, it was a nice pastime, i don't know if it was worth 3 years of your time but you did a good job.
AWESOME!!!! I'll be watching in a few minutes! :D
I thought it was great. It looks extremely professional. There's a lot of great moments in there.
OH MY GOSH!!!PERFECT!!!!
Wow.... Really well done! its what a real AVP movie should be like!
Hah, there are no words for how much I love this film. It's literally 20 mins of pure Predator awesomeness. The things that the Predator accomplishes takes the concept of species balance, throws it on the ground and pounds away at it's face until it's nothing more than a greasy smear on it's fist.
The Sparta kick on the Alien left me with an enormous grin. So awesome.
DUDE! I loved it! So much! I'm an Alien fan, and I felt the species were balanced, as there was only one Predator. The Aliens got a decent amount of hits and made the battles VERY enjoyable. I love this fanfilm, and I'm probably going to watch it again later! AWESOME! And thanks for a quality AVP animation! :D
The first part was very entertaining. Introducing the story, slowly.
I felt the second part is rushed. Too many fights in a very short time.
But overall it's entertaining and I like it.
Good job.
One question, does this Predator have a "name" that it should be referred to as on the forums?
And I would love to see you make a feature length animated AVP movie! :D I would love to see what you can do with 2 hours!
Also, I liked the avpgalaxy.com reference in the credits. :P
Really well done Alex. The first fanfilm I've seen that I've enjoyed! Some really good stuff in there, and could easily watch an hour+ version.
Superb film, i enjoyed this 20 min fan film more than i did AVP Requiem and at times more than the first AVP.
My favourite parts:
The build-up and how the Predator was introduced etc, and how he made his arrival and moving throught the Sulaco.
The use of original Music from Aliens/Predator.
The tone, really felt like i was in the world of "Aliens" but at the same time Watching a Predator film.
The part where the Predalien gets shot by the marine, and the original Predator theme came in sent chills down my spine.
The ending, very dignified and had the same feeling as the scene where cage is set on fire in "Kick ass" or when tallahasse is making a last stand in "Zombieland".
Very well made film, this is one of my favourites now for sure, and i think we have a new Predator to add to the mythos, defo helped to span the wait for "Predators"
All in 9/10, it's only not a 10 for me as someone mentioned already the alien combat segment was a little haphazard, other than that all was outstanding!
The best part for me was:
Spoiler
When in the end Predator is screaming in agony, with that epic music, and camera showing all aliens - it is very sad, but very powerful moment
Great!!! FOX can learn from this guy.
My favirite moments are
Spoiler
Spartan kick, and when Pred stabs Predalien`s head with it`s own tail brab!
I love the beggining but the predator looked like a drawing at some parts but that can't be helped superb :) better than avp one and two
9/10 - better than AvP(2004) and AvP-R(2007) !
Yer most definatley :)
I enjoyed it, but I was a little disappointed with some elements. I'm not complaining, I know it took a long time to make and a whole lot of it was awesome, but there were a few bits I didn't like.
EDIT:
Spoiler
I didn't like how the acid blood didn't come into play very much, I know it was probably time consuming or something but it would have been nice to see a bit more.
I didn't like how the Aliens only landed a few hits on the Predator, rather than injuring him. It reminded me a little too much of AvPR.
Queen and Predalien felt a bit rushed into the film.
6/10
What bits ? I would of preferred the predator if it was stalking and stealthy like in predator but it was still good :)
Edited it. ;)
My main issue was the storytelling, it felt rushed and not very well paced. Some technical issues too, but he's not working at ILM so i'm not complaining about those.
I would give it a 6.5/10.

Oh you make good points if I had to pick bits I didn't like I would of chosen those ones or ones very similar but luckily I am easily pleased in everything that I watch and do which is good
I'm pretty sure the Predators had the incentive of sending forth a professional combatant - one whose got years of experience fighting the Xenomorphs. I say this because their technology potentially fell into the wrong hands, judging from the prologue. That's a pretty big deal for them.
Either way, this film was very well done. The CGI was good too, considering the budget. But what mattered to me even more was the Predator's mannerisms - VERY reminiscent of the original. Fox could learn a thing or two from this.

You are asking way too much from a fan film done with a $500 budget.
I myself enjoyed the film. Being what it is, it's fantastic. Oh, if AvPR had
half of this film... seriously, some bits are awesome. Like the Sparta Kick :D
The 3d models are very great also. Bit loss on the slimy part (they are dry) but I don't really care. Love the use of the original soundtracks. Seeing the ship with the original Alien overture gave me chills. :)
QuoteYou are asking way too much from a fan film done with a $500 budget.
The ability to tell a good story doesnt cost money at all. Like i said, my main problem was the pacing, first half very good, once he's inside the ship it felt rushed and there was just too much going on. Less is more sometimes, the queen was just overkill.
So if anything, he had too much of an budget, putting way too much things in a short feature, not allowing it to unfold.
Spoiler
It just went *boom* alien *boom* predalien *boom* human blows predalien *boom* predator kills human *boom* queen and then ship explodes. END
:o :o :o :o :o The visuals *bows down* I'm not worthy.
well....that was far better then the AVP movies lol.
If this thing was full length and had tad more adjustments story-wise...it could rock as a full feature movie.
As a short-movie im giving it a 7/10
I give the aftereffects/3d visuals a good 9/10. (fan-art wise offcourse...you came damn close to the real-deal m8)
I tit-bit of critique : PULSE RIFLES!!! lol
and is that an empress at the end? Its HUGE!! :)
At least predalien had proper mandibles. I thought I won`t live up to the day.

I'm not, I'm saying this from a fanfilm perspective, that was the same problem with S.E.E.D, it had all those great costumes and stuff and it failed due to bad storytelling and bad editing.
The second half felt rushed and uninspired, whats so hard to understand about that? You don't agree with me? Fine, i don't give a shit about that, nor do I'm saying that i could have done it better, still, my point stands. It was good, but i wasnt impressed like some people are. Big deal.
Very, very nice fan film. I didn't expect the CGI to be that good.

That's not what the fan film's about. It's fairly clear you can't do a good story with both Aliens and Predators in the same thing. Even Fox can't manage it. How do you expect a fan to come up with a A+ story? Especially a film that's just 20 mins long.
Excellent, I loved it. The fights were very balanced.

I didnt meant the story as a stand alone thing, but how it was told. The second half felt rushed, with too much stuff going on, it felt like he just wanted to finish the damn thing no matter what and threw stuff in my face all at once. Thats my beef with the movie.
I think you can make a good avp story but you have to be creative about it.
I'd give it about an 8, thought the queen and predalien battles could've been longer, but hey, its a fan film. It was a fun film in the end. So yeah, about an 8
it`s an excellent fan film i give you a 9 because the battle with the queen could be longer :-\ but i loved it its a great story :)
love it, loved the predalien, loved the fact the aliens weren't fodder. slow mo kick was a bit cheesy, but still really good. loved the fact that the pred only survived the predalien because of the marine.

Bollocks. AvP2 (game) had a great story that tied into each franchise without overruling anything. It simply used them as a narrative spring to propel its own well-done story. Sure, it wasn't perfect itself, but it was a good story. You don't even need the 12-15 hours of gameplay to tell it, since any game artifically lengthens its own plot to accommodate the gameplay itself.
That said, 20 minutes or so isn't enough to achieve that. It sounds like the story itself wasn't the underlying issue as much as the pacing was, though.
That film was definitely worth the wait IMO, thanks so much for this one Alex :)
The only things I didn't like were the brief Predalien and Queen sequences, coupled with the almost abrupt intro to the Predators. I would have liked some more buildup.
7/10.
Bravo Maestro you have accomplished what Fox can't do in 2 awfull movies, In matter of fact, does the redemption title is in anyway related to AVP or AVP-R? because it's definetly a Redemption.
I enjoyed this movie so much there are some memorable parts in this fan film that it's worth to remember, I give you 5/5, CGI is very well done and the fight scenes were also very good, the only thing that pisses me off is all the bitching about the "little dissapointments", 3 years people I dare you to reach what alex did here for all of us, In my opinion this is by far the best AVP fan film ever done, SEED was good but not good enough and no matter what AVP redemption kicks ass, the movie is a llittle rush at the end?, yeah, so what? it's fan made people don't expect that everything works perfect. Music and editing very well done too. Say whatever you want to say but at the end you will be watching this movie all over again.
If I have to critique something it would be the predators mask, but in general the costume was awesome, Predator looked and felt very light, like Wolf, like the way it should be.
5 stars
Lovely effects. You done a good job on the new music too, and I like the whole build-up to the Suloco. The editing and action on the other hand, just as painful as AvP:R.
Quotethe only thing that pisses me off is all the bitching about the "little dissapointments", 3 years people I dare you to reach what alex did here for all of us
Tastes & Color can't be argue. If someone like something, and someone don't, that's it. No matter what you think of people's opinion, they are in right to more or less like it or not.
I think Alex Popov did a very good job (VFX imply a lot of work) about CGI.
Concerning the story, well it seems a bit basic but not so bad at all.
My disappointment was the fact the second part was rushed (When predator get to the ship.)
And probably also the fact that Aliens again are piece of shit. But then it's my opinion and you may have a different one, I don't care I have mine.
Anyway good work.
I can only watch the first five minutes right now because my internet's a filthy whore, but I'm impressed.
The Predator corpse and the ensuing predaburster looked like images and the Predator suit doesn't look quite as natural as I might've liked, but you really capture some brilliant atmosphere. Your use of music is also really appropriate; it builds on the visuals without overshadowing what's going on. The acting and costumes were really nice, too. There was a liiiiittle bit of forced linage going on, but overall it was all very smooth.
The first five minutes get an 8/10 from me, where 5/10 is an average, enjoyable-if-forgettable experience.
I LOVED IT! The things you introduced were fantastic!
10/10 Alex!
Not bad. As stated before, a few errors with pacing in the second half (the first was spot-on), and I do take issue with the portrayals of the Aliens, but I'm not gonna get into some debate over it. Overall, fairly enjoyable. When the Alien music started to play at the start, I got a chill up my spine. I love that score. I also imagined that when the Predator realized the man had a grenade, his face was a little like this:

Yes, i made that just so i can post it here xD!
I can't watch this right at the moment, but I absolutely can't wait to see it later today after reading all these great words and feelings about it!
I loved it, great job! The visuals were incredible, it was definitely worth the wait.
GAH!!! My browser is being such a dick! I can't even see this thing!
FREAKIN AWESOME!
I really enjoyed the film Alex. It was even better than i expected!
very good job. ;D ;)
10/10
Any word on an HD version yet?
hey guys thanks for all the comments, glad you all liked it for the most part, as long as it constructive criticizem im good with that, as for the film beeing rushed, hell yeah, do you have any idea how many hours it takes to do a 5 sekonds of animation of the alien, render it and than composit it. so thats why some fights are rushed. if i had more resources and budget the story would be much more developed, characters would be more built and the action would be much more dramatic. but for what it is im very happy with the final result, and once more all of the comments are appreciated, except the comments from " szuran ", he is just an idiot who is not happy with anything in this life. everyone else, thanks alot.
Szuran? I saw no comments by a user of that name. ???
Anyway, apart from a few small problems I loved it, Alex. Very well done and I appreciate you taking the time to make this for us.
Yep. I also loved it. Flawed, but with reason, so a 10/10 from me. Very, very enjoyable. And man, that Sparta Kick was cool :P
Bravo sir. Enjoyed that thoroughly.
Hey Alex, I'm trying to download the vid, but my god forsaken connection keeps failing on me when I get a quarter into the film and I would always have to reload the vid. (My Internet is Bitchass slow) can you make a three parter? you don't have to if you don't want to, just saying. I'm sure theres more people like me with the same problems. and thus, sence I can't watch it all the way through, I can't give a review nor can I rate it, Comment, and Critique it. so untill I can watch the whole film, I can't say anything about it, cause in my mind, that would be disrespectfull if I just saw a few minutes, even if it is unintentionable. (its just how I was raised) so please post some parts. three or four parts should serfice.
Very good fan film, one of the best I've seen. However, with the quality of computer animation I'm surprised you didn't find some better practical solutions for the Predator Bio-Helmet and Dreadlocks.
Before I forget, anyone know what file a film has to be on iTunes? I'm getting this awesomeness on my iPod!
ipod takes mp4, and i am splitting it in 3 parts to post it on youtube, its just its still giving me some sound issues, but it will be there hopefully tonight.
A brilliant effort! 7/10. Puts AvP:R to shame!

Copy the video's URL and set it as MP4. Then paste it into iTunes. This may not work, though, as the file may be too big.
EDIT: AGH! You need to pay to convert videos from Vimeo...thats f**king bull...I'll see if I can find other websites, I know there are plenty out there.
Very well made film, I enjoyed watching it! 9/10!
The effects are pretty amazing, It was great seeing the predalien in this film. Definitely looked better than the awful predalien dsesign in AVP-R for sure :P

you sure its not just your computer? well take your time, I like to watch this without the sound being mucked up.
Youtube shouldn't take it off. if they do he can always post it on another site after all. he did it with VIMIO. (as to why he can't put the three parts on VIMIO is beyond me, possibly cause he already posted the full vid on it and its against their rules or somethin) personaly, its Youtube's seemingly obsessive need to delete awsome vids that makes me dislike the site. dispite the fact that I watch the vids on the site. its when they delete such cool vids that pisses me off. especialy when the vid has nothing bad on it or anythin.
Thanks to a friend of mine, I'm going to be able to get the MP4 of this for iTunes. If its okay with Alex, I could post a link to the raw MP4 file when he sends it.

I definitely prefer this than to Rodriguez's upcoming PREDATORS movie. Had Fox actually discovered Alex and his team, given them a major budget to work with, I think we definitely would've had a winner on our hands.

Or not. Critics hate everything. They hated Peter Jackson's King Kong for gods sake, but they kissed up to Avatar.
Incredible work Alex. Very good job, especially with the budget and resources you had. Major respect!
Alex would you mind if I uploaded this film to megaupload or something so I can provide a link everyone can download?
I have my 50 inch HD Plasma hooked up to my iMac through HDMI. It looked really good upconverted, I would love to see an HD version!

That's because
King Kong was an overblown piece of shit that outstayed its welcome ninety minutes in and sucked all the fun and adventure out of a timeless classic and replaced it with a computer generated monkey skating on some f**king ice.
Any ETA on the YouTube version?
according to my subscriptions, Part 1 of the Youtube version has been posted.
Just saw the video and I thought it was kinda good, but not that great like
Batman: Dead End. There were some fights in the film that there were either too rushed or there were just mimicking other films like the--
Spoiler
spartan kick from 300 and the Alien attacking from behind the Predator so that it can destroy it's plasma caster, which this reminds of the scene in AVPR.
I was also kinda disappointed about the--
Spoiler
death of the Predalien. Sure it kick the Predator's butt for a short period of time, but it was easily killed by an injured marine. Why he is still alive? I mean, I thought the ship was overrun by Aliens. Maybe he use "The Newt's Hide n' Sneak Technique" from the Aliens movie or something, I don't know.
But besides all of these few problems, I thought the movie was kinda interesting. It has a couple of good special effects here and there, a solid storyline, and it is definitely way better than
AVPR, however, it wasn't that better than Paul W.S. Anderson's
AVP and
Alien: Resurrection. But so what? So what? The movie was supposed to be a fan film and all fan films aren't great. The reason why I like fan films is that they tribute our two favorite franchises of all time, and I respect that. :)
If Alex Popov didn't took any ideas from other films and rushed all fight scenes throughout the film, then this fan film would have been one of the greatest AVP fan films of all time.
If I have to rate this, I'll rate it an solid
3/5.
Good job, Alex Popov. :)
Just finished watching it and it definitely was on par with my expectations. I really loved it a lot, and kudos to Alex, especially when he worked on this by himself for a good 2 years, very nice f**king job and it only makes me wonder how much better it would have been if Alex wasn't alone on this project.
8.5/10
I'd kinda like to see the story of that marine that survived.
Would totally make for an awesome bonus.
Man, that was so good. Really.
It's people like you who will keep the fanbase thriving.
Watching Part 1.
Hell'a impressed.

Word. It sure as hell seems like Alex could establish a short-story within this one, starring him. Fanfic perhaps? Either way, that'd be the icing on the cake - even if the marine lived a short life, it would be interesting to see his tale when (maybe prior) hell broke loose.
What would you call him though? I'd personally go for Pvt. Lambern. Fits him pretty well, imo.
Corporal William Sivasubramanian Chandrasegarampillai. He's part Indian.
Amazing fan film, good job. I can only imagine how epic it'd be if it was turned into a feature film though.....But FOX has no brain... ::)
Finished part 2.
Really impressed with the feel of the whole thing, although the Aliens are kind'a ... massively shafted.
Quote from: SiL on May 16, 2010, 01:58:44 AM

Spoiler
I did think it was funny when the Predator ran from them when he first saw them. But yes they were given the shaft.
Spoiler
I realise that due to how the fights were done, making a single long fight would take forever, but making the Predator/PredAlien fight more substantial, maybe dropping the marine, and not having the Queen fight at the end would've fixed some pacing issues. Or maybe PredAlien fight goes a bit longer, Pred gets more hurt, Pred has a bit of a fight with the marine, marine blows himself up, and the Pred is impaled by debris when he lands in the Queen's chamber
All up, though, I really liked it.
Is the whole thing 22 minutes long, with the video displayed in the news section being the complete one?
Yes, yes it is.
My only real issue with the Aliens is that they spent a lot of time doing nothing when they could've been killing the shit out of Predalex. One got its arms cut off and didn't even give a shit, so it's not as if the film downplayed their resilience or anything, but the fights with the Alien warriors would've been improved a lot if they had been less of a case of the Aliens waiting for Predalex to choose how to kill them.
It would be better dramatically to allow the Aliens to get the upper hand and then have Predalex pull some act of cleverness or ruthlessness out of nowhere. Or even if the Aliens fought well, but Predalex was just a step ahead all the time.
I really like the Predalien fight, especially when
Spoiler
Predalex impales its head with the thing's own tail... and then it gets up.
Good work on the Predalien design, too.
Fine job good sir. 8)
Hey guys, you where wondering who that szuran dude was, well I was reading the comments about the AVP Redemption's release, and his name did come up.
Quoteszuran | 15 May 2010 16:18
It sucks. The pacing is non-existent (there's a sudden jump from "it's calm" to "shit hits the fan"), there's no plot, there's no hero I can relate to, so I don't give a crap about anything. CGI is very poor (texture resolutions would be considered low even in 1999), animation is laughable, and the photography, along with lighting, is amateurish. Oh, and did I mention Predator's chicken legs? Come on...
I know this is a fan film made by one person only, but still – it's so bad I want my 20 minutes of life back
Frankly, I don't blame Alex for wanting this guy to piss off. theres no valuable Critique, its not even an F**king review. he's just putting Alex and his movie down for no apparent reason. obviously he's jealous cause he's not Talented or as willing as Alex is to make a fan film.
So far getting good reception apart from those that can't get passed it being a fan film

Yes, exactly. This is the reason.
The shortfilm is very OK.
This is definetly better than AvP and AvP:R
It looks like it is made for fans.
Just awesome.
loved it, brilliant ending which puts shame on both AvP movies,
Spoiler
the only gripe i have is seeing the predators communicate which to me makes it look too geeky like star wars and startrek keep the creatures a mystery.
For a fan film it's pretty awsome. ;)
Re: Story comments. The film was from the POV of the Predator. To carry a more substantial story on that, you'd have to have some kind of voiceover or maybe more going on to make it interesting. Only other way we'd have had a story would be through inclusion of more human characters and that would make or break it for people based on that actors skills.
To compare Redemption's downfalls to SEED is over-the-top. S.E.E.D failed more so on it's editing during the second half of the movie and it's actors skills. I couldn't hell what the flip was happening with SEED. With Redemption, I just think it was basic and I think for being a 20 minute long fanfilm, it carried it well.
Just re watched it, and I still love it! Can't wait for the MP4. I may even put it on a blank DVD! :D
If you ever want to make another film, I think one story that could be cool is from the last marine's POV. From when the aliens get lose to his sacrifice to try to kill the Predator.
Also, I remember seeing some Terminator clips of yours. Are you making a Terminator movie, or were those clips just for fun?
I seriously am going to keep an eye out for anything that Alex does in the future, he can only improve over the years and I really can't wait to see whatever he presents to us.
if they had permission from fox it would be awesome if they released this on dvd. id buy it
I am just in from work, watched Redemption last night on my Pioneer Kuro 50 inch Plasma thru Ps3, looked the part when it was upscaled, and the sound was actually very good through my system, well impressed, look forward to an even higher quality version to keep.
As much as i love it, i have to disagree with a comment someone posted regarding this being better than Rodriguez's "Predators". Only because i don't think tis fair to judge something you haven't seen in it's entireity yet.
If you mean the general setting and story is personally more favourable to you, then i take that back of course.

I thought it was really good. It's story is simple, but effective for a short movie. That's key here: It's a short. Which is probably the key to its success. If it was a feature, the story wouldn't work as is, and would need more substance, but that's not what this is. This is a short, and a brilliant one.

100% true. If it was full length, it would probably have to have overlapping stories with the marine and Spartan pred.

Take a look around the internet and tell me if you've seen any AVP fan film better than this, you can't because this is the greatest.
Great work Alex. I know these things take a lot of time and effort to accomplish and you should be very proud of what you have achieved. Considering that the story was told from the Predators POV you did a great job of keeping it interesting which must have been difficult with virtually no human characters throughout. Top job mate.
Cheers

While I have yet to watch the full thing, I want to salute you Alex. I thinks its awesome that you've been able to start and finish this project.
I've been watching for this one for a while and I have to say: it didn't dissapoint. Well worth the two years wait. Well done, my friend.
I was pretty impressed with the whole thing. As a fan film, its great. 10/10 for the efforts ! Best avp fan film to date.
But, it does suffer from the alien
s vs predator problem avp:r had. Only 1 pred vs 5 or so aliens. I'm not saying that a pred can't take down 5 aliens, its just the way he does it that really annoys me.
A predator ''a la Riddick'' is not a good idea. Really it ain't...
Spoiler
Really ? A predator killing aliens with 2 small daggers ? Really ? *cough*acid blood much ?*cough* I can understand that a small budget will hurt things as you can't really do everything you want, but yeah.. Forget about the daggers next time. Stupid idea... Especially when the pred was stabbing the alien like 20 times. That was so bad I laughed at the stupidity. Not saying you're stupid, but the scene is.
Another point I disliked :
Spoiler
The ''this is sparta'' kick will upset any alien fanboy out there, but the slow motion really makes it worst, I don't believe that slow motion belongs in a avp movie.
And this fight was the worst :
Spoiler
Predalien fight was pretty funny actually. Head lock for the win, everybody knows that you will kill an alien by hitting it bare handed several times... The predalien atleast used his tail.
This might come out as a rant, but I'm only expressing my opinions here on what I know you could've done better. How can anyone complain on the effects ? They're great for what this is. I can't really complain on the pacing and and effects and all really. If you really wanted to, you could have tried harder. But its pretty standard and it gave us what we wanted. A.V.P. action. I did see that your goal was not to tell an epic story, but really to get to the avp part. The introduction to the main action was good enough to get me into it.
Again this is the best fan film we have for avp. Congrats for the effort, I think everybody here appreciate it. I'm looking forward for more stuff from you.
Overall I'd give it 7/10, some really nice ideas and effects for a fan film.
Like somebody (aeus? idk) said before: this fan film takes the concept of species balance and drives its face into the ground repeatedly. You just have to accept it.
I dug this. Really great stuff dude. Didnt like the Predator suit though. The feet looked kinda goofy, and the "skin" should've been a different matierial. But really man, it weas great.
This was allot of fun.
For a fan film I though it was exceptional. Great use of the tools you had at your disposal. There were moments when this felt very professional.
Wasn't a fan of the story elements though. I felt like it was pretty much AVP:R in space and that turns me right off.
Before commenting I have to say congrats on just getting the muth'uckah done. I know first hand how hard this is to do - especially doing it all on your own - and will be releasing a Star Wars fan film in the not to distant future that mixes a lot of live action with CG, and would be well chuffed if I got half the positive comments this is getting.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see large chunks of parts 2 and 3 cos I have a shitty monitor with knackered brightness controls. What I could at least look pretty good - although Aliens seemed to stand around waiting on occassion during fights. It at least looked like there was some variety in the combat between Predator and Alien. The Predator nabbing the hugger out of the air, flinging it then shooting it, was great.
In terms of the effects, it was obvious what was CG in terms of the environment, but the Predator meshed so well with them I often couldn't tell if the Predator was live action or computer generated.
Couple of minor nitpicks - the rotating WY logo at the start all dirtied up didn't make any sense. Also in that scene bit too many jumps around and interference with the video feed too. Another thing with the establishing shot of the Predator planet - isn't OUR system the Solar System? The scenes setting up the Predator going on his mission with a couple of transmissions seemed a bit redundant - but since I don't know if there's a pay off for these, I can't really comment.
But, all in all, I will sit down and watch this properly on a decent monitor - which is saying something since most fan films aren't worth a second look.
Well done.
That slow motion kick was awesome, and for what it was: an extended fight scene, it delivered. Much better than S.E.E.D.
The slow-mo kick didn't bother me so much as the arbitrary slow-mo shot of the Alien just flying through space.
@SM - 'Solar system' just means orbital planets rotating around a Sun. Ours is coined Solar system because it was the first we knew of. Just like our only natural satellite is called the 'moon', but clearly other planets in our system have moons.

in that case it might well have had "Location: Space" you might aswell not bother saying that it's a solar system Solar System is a measure of scale not location, (like saying planetary system, or star cluster, or galaxy)
also there is a distiction between THE Solar System, THE Sun, THE Moon, THE World and just A Solar System, A Sun, A Moon, A World etc.
So, is there gonna be a version from the marine's POV?
Jesus, people, give him chance!!! :P
But it's so awesome, I want more!

I've got the aliens models - the warrior, queen, egg, facehugger... Thought I recognised them, but wasn't too sure. Swidhelm's a member of these boards, too - I've seen him in the Fan Section with his work on a Predator figure... speaking of which, where did you get the Predator model from? I've got a couple of different versions, but none are as good as the one you've used... Just curious... I've always loved messing around with 3D graphics/ images, but I've never managed anything on this scale....
Again, loved the film.
^ It's not a model. It's a suit composited in with the Aliens.
i'm starting to sense negative energy here...... :-X

Our system is the Solar System and our sun often referred to as Sol. Our moon is also called Luna.
Either way it's not a big deal, even though the legend on screen is a bit confusing, it's quickly apparent it's not our system.
(Lambert - I know that!)
Amazing. It'd be more sucesseful then AvP movies if this short film went Big Screen.
Once again, Suberb job.
On a side note : That's what a predalien should look like in AvP Requiem!
I had written an AVP3 treatment a while back. And after seeing this, I revisited it, but with AVP:Redemption visuals in my mind.
Alex, how can i repay you for doing this? You deserve it.
if you ever become a big time Hollywood director, you should go back to this film and make a full length feature that would be released world wide. you would have more resources, bigger budget; everything! ;)
Has anyone else reilized this film grows on you?

What?
Just wondering why, if you knew all that, why did it confude you?
There was no confusion; it was just an oddity.

i dunno, it's a good fan short sure, but i'm not sure if a 15 minute best bits compilation of AVPR would be any worse, the only good things it has that seperates it from AVPR is a better Predalien design, a queen, a better story and the fact it's set in space.
Better acting and more likable characters, too.
Sure, the marine that shows up doesn't say anything, but he's effective:
- He provides tension and excitement through blasting the Predalien from off-screen. We're left wondering what's going on and the momentary confusion is resolved by the revelation of the marine himself.
- He's afraid of the Predalien, even after downing it. There's human caution there, and we're left shouldering his own feelings of uncertainty.
- He's on the same level as us. It shortly occurs to us that Spartan Scott is still somewhere in the room, and when the sound effects suggest this, we're in the marine's own boots.
- When speared, he acts like a total badass and gives Spartan Scott a run for his money. Instant cred.
You could essentially have the film as we've seen it be the first ten minutes and last ten minutes of a feature-length film. Improve the visual and animation aspects and we've got a perfectly workable introduction and conclusion.
The 70 minutes that aren't there can essentially be a little bit of Spartan Scott entering the ship and altering some of the situations the other marines find themselves in, and a lot of those other marines doing their thing. We've essentially got a spaceship full of Aliens, labs and dark corners with a Predator stalking about and a squad of marines trying to figure everything out. There's plenty that can be done to fill up 70 minutes.
(But I would personally upscale the Aliens a lot).

i concede that the scientist in the video log was good, and a good actor, but after that scene it did feel a bit like AVPR: in space. although i did say "the best bits of AVPR" so it would all really depend on if everything that was added was a really good story. it would be great
Had Alex had more time/resources, do you guys think that a Grid Alien "reincarnation" scene would have been epic. The Alien that got blasted away by the net could have come out of the net, have a slow, dramatic first appearence, and provided a great Alien vs Predator fight with the "reborn" version our out favorite AVP Alien.
Funny u mensioned the grid alien, cause originally I thought of that 2 he was suppose to show up during the predalien fight and almost kill the predator, the only reason he survived is because of marine. And yeah the short film about the marine's survival sounds very tempting right now, it will be just like "alien", small group of people trying to get to the drop ship in the cargo bay , to get off infested sulaco, in the end he is the only one who gets to it. Hears the roars and sees the pissed off predalien in the end of the corridor , aims, shoots , cut to black the end. The rest is told in Redemption. Will see maybe one day, I'll find time to do it , or we can get a few dollars together, and it will help the production ;)

Watched, and was absolutely stunned. 4.5/5 is my vote. Whole thing was well choreographed, well-effected(?), well acted. Almost has a possibility of an extended mythology (absolute potential as a feature film), and has a distinctive "Dead Space"-esque vibe of isolation and survival.
WOW!! this thread has seen nearly 40000 views.....impressive. Sorry off topic but thought it was worth a mention.

It's a f**king miracle that FOX actually allowed Alex to go through with all of this.
No it isn't.
How is it a miracle? He agreed to not accept payment fot it and that is what Fox cares about.
Yeah, Fox isn't like Toho... ::)
BOOO
Toho flips when people do fan stuff. They shut down a bunch of Youtube accounts and stuff a year or so ago.
^ Really? Well that's lame, I never pegged Toho as being so proud.
I'm not sure what they're problem was. It was really, really stupid.
That explains the lack of cool Godzilla music videos...:/ So much can be done combining clips from those 28 movies...
Money or no money, this could be Foxed in an instant.
Disclaimer or not, it's still a breach of copyright. However, it's very likely below Fox's notice to worry about it. Hopefully it'll stay that way. Or better yet, mebbe the dude who made it gets some professional work out of it.
I have one question about the Predator shield sequence. Was that inspired by a very similar scene in Iron Man?

When I first saw the short film, I knew I recognized the scene from somewhere. Just recently I remembered Iron Man :D
I recognized it instantly. The thing that surprised me that most about it was that I had written a similar scene in my treatment years ago.
guys, got an awesome news, just got a first email from LA agency, they are interested in representing me, hopefully they will get me some fox executives, so i could pitch a new AVP or something, that would be awesome :) fingers crossed, will let u know whats going on with that.
oh and as for "iron man" shot as i call it was storyboarded before the ironman movie, but when i saw it in the movie i changed a camera angle on that shot, cause it was very similar., but i still call it iron man shot. :) its one of my favorites

Nice one!
Although get some original ideas on standby in case they ask. Don't put all your eggs in the AvP basket.
And if the world does go mad and you do get an AvP movie I totes have a script you can use.
No, seriously.

true, but it would be nice if there was a really high quality version on the web, perhaps if an HD version was put on torrent and everyone the got it promised to seed it.
@Alex: I got my fingures crossed for ya Alex, hope they hire ya. hopefully you can help breath new life into a franchise that has been torchered, Raped, and left for dead. hopefully, they may even ask you to direct!!! but lets not get too far ahead of ourselfs.
awsome movie. for a fan film, I give it 4/5 stars!
i hope you do get some input in the next avp movie because fox really need to start listening to the fans and make a movie worthy of the avp title. i would also like to have a copy of redemption on dvd or maybe fox could put it on the dvd extras of predators upon it's dvd release

it's all about having a decent and legally binding disclaimer, for example, if it states clearly that donations are not mandatory for those asking for DVDs, and that all donations would go towards making another film/paying for domain/webservices etc and not be used as "profit", and that he could prove those claims after the fact, it would probably be fine.

Possibly. Wouldn't want to try it on without getting actual legal advice though.
I think the mere fact that he'd be making money with it though will piss Fox off, profit or not profit taking.
The profit thing is neither here nor there. If you spend $10,000 making a fan film and recieve only $20 in 'donations' - it can still lead to trouble.
Ya, because he's making money. That's what I meant.
Yup.
yeah, u guys right, i dont want a single cent from AVPRD, cause it will put me in a very hot water, copy right infringement. no thank you, People at Fox were cool enough letting me do it in the first place, So i want to respect 100% hair Copyrights.

Thank god. Erase those films from existence. :)
Pitch something original.
Fox isn't bothering with AvP at the moment.
I've been gone for awhile, finally got a chance to see this movie. I'm not kidding Alex, I really thought this was going to suck monkey balls. I thought it was going to have corny action scenes, bad editing and bad acting and bad everything.
But this movie was f--king awesome :o
Great visuals, a good cast of actors, impressive CGI effects, and the action scenes were sweet dude lol. Your film had a better story, better ideas and better characters than anything in the AVP movies. I'm sure if you were given the same budget as the Strause Brothers your film would have been 100x better and I really mean that.
10/10 it's the best AVP fan-film ever made.

This is all happening quite fast isn't it. Amazing how things like this come together.
I know this is a couple of weeks overdue, but I've been away.
Having just finished watching AVP Redemption, I really have to hand it to you Alex, it was spectacular, far beyond what I thought was possible in a home-made movie. The use of authentic sound effects & creature animation really drew me in, & in some of the scenes I could have sworn I was watching a feature film. The story was simple & effective, & I thought the fights between the predator & the aliens had intensity in spades. It is by far the best fan flick out there.
I give you a great round of applause, you have some damn fine film making skills, & this was certainly worth the wait.
It was unnecessarily dark at parts.
Yes, that's all. That's just how I roll.
It wasn't so dark you couldn't see anything. The lighting levels were ideal I think.
I recall having trouble making out some of the action. Was it just too bright around me then. Maybe.

it was fine on my laptop, but i showed it to a friend on his pc and even on max brightness a lot of stuff was way too dark.
As I said earlier I found a lot of it dark - but pretty sure that's just my monitor.
Must be - mine was fine on the laptop.
Great job.
I liked that it blended great CGI with real action. I think that it was a win! Best of luck in your success making films.
I think this is awesome.
it's thursday now, what happened?
Hands down, without a doubt, one of the coolest fan films ever. Definately tops Batman Dead End as far as I'm concerned. It was also miles ahead of S.E.E.D., which was quite a disappointment. Best of luck in the future Mr. Alex Popov. You've got talent, good sir.
This is by far one of the best A/P fan films that I have ever seen and it easily replaces Batman: Dead End as one of my favourites. For what its worth those two years you spent making this film Alex it was worth it. The only thing that let the film down for me was the lighting. It was better than AVPR but worse than AVP's but apart from that this was entertaining to watch from beginning to end. I haven't looked into the archives for this film on this board but I was wondering if there were any deleted scenes?
hey guys thanks alot, I know Fox is about to watch it or already watched it , will know some news on Monday. so keep your fingers crossed people :)

no way, didnt expect it at all. my hopes were, hopefully people will like it, im having fun doing it, hope that fox will not sue me later :) that was my expectations, as for the sequel, not for now, maybe some time later, I want to da i marine's survival story, it will be more like "Aliens" with almost no predator involved.

Or the fact that it was another AVP / AVP-R in the space.
Or the fact that everybody think it's amazing because it's a fan and not official.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's terrible, sure it's not up to the standards of Hollywood movies, but wake up, it's a fan film. An amazingly well put together fan film, a masterpiece of its own. Alex took the time to make it, take the time to appreciate it.
3rd'd
i kind of agree that it's a bit cheesy, sparta kick for example, but most of it is excellently written and acted, (i'm a massive fan of the video message/log segment) and the VFX are amazing for the budget
Yeah the Video is my favourite part. Very eerie when they show the Predator corpse.
Plus I have yet to know if the Predator was a real suit put on a background (kinda like the marine) or if it was cgi. Because it is very realistic!

Or the fact that Alien / Predator : CGI = No way.
Or the fact that it was another AVP / AVP-R in the space.
Or the fact that everybody think it's amazing because it's a fan and not official.
If you don't like it because of
this... ;)

Excellently written and acted. I disagree, I appreciate the impressive computer effects but how was it well written? To me it was just the Predator going in to eliminate some evidence. The acting was alright, and I know you're not going to have characterisation and back story in AvP but there felt like emotional investment in it, and that wouldn't have been THAT hard to achieve (doesn't need effects, just a character who isn't a silent, badass alien ninja) . Its a pred going in to kill things, cool, it needs to be short, ok, understood, but the result doesn't have the punch to make it: "excellently written and acted."
Excellently written means also dialogues.
There was a good monologue (sorta) in the videolog.

I don't know, felt kind of standard to me, excited guy talking about discovery. How about a discovery of what happened to that bandaged guy on the ship. Potential there for actually caring for one of the characters.
Dunno, he was the only survivor, he passed through all his companions being killed, I bet he's shocked.
Hey guys, I got a great news, i got an awesome manager and just signed with the 5th biggest talent agency in Hollywood ! :) Now starting to work on my own Sci-Fi idea for the development in to a full feature, so im kind of drunk to day, celebrating. and also the motion picture department of "Dark Horse" comics and a half of their studio are a big fans of AVPRD, my manager sent it to a producer over there, and they all loved it. so who knows it might be an AVP:Redemption comic book out soon. Wouldn't that be something.
That would be something indeed, great news Alex. Congratulations! :)
Great, great news. Wish the best for you! :)
Great new hope to be kept updated.
Congrats! You really desverve it. :)

Well done! I finally got on a computer with sound the other day to watch this. Very nice work I hope you get everything you deserve for it. It was well done and interesting to watch.
Schaefer, what's up dude?? Haven't heard from you round these parts in two years!
Im sorry, but I just didn't like it. Animation was ok, but the story was basically nonexistent. Not doggin you, and I hope you stay in animation, but next time, work on the story a little more, I wanna be engrossed in this.

This is the story that the AVPR should have had. Set in the dark and brooding atmosphere in space, not in some down to Earth town with a cliche soap opera storyline that would even make a bad soap opera.
The major difference between AVPR and Redemption (besides the atmosphere) is that Redemption does not pretend to offer you a plot; it is just straight up action, plain and simple. It doesn't promise characters and deliver cliches, it does not promise story but deliver a cookie-cutter excuse for more action scenes and senseless gore. With Redemption, what you see is what you get.
And it worked very well. The fact that it was simple is what made it good.

Is there any download links for the movie itself?
Use a wed-based download tool, like ant toolbar or atube.
Or ClipNabber: http://clipnabber.com/ (http://clipnabber.com/)
I watched this earlier today to build my Predators anticipation, and I may watch it again before I go!
Enjoy the movie!!! It's fantastic.

Nah it was just a coincidence. Though the one in AVP Redemption played out better.
I know it was a coincidence! But it's still hilarious!
No it isn't. Not even the slightest bit. Going kamikaze isn't something new in the action genre.
The two scenes were exactly the same. Except one has Russian.
does the leaked script have nikolai's death the same way?
Quote from: AvatarIII on Jul 15, 2010, 12:59:08 PM

Yes, the exact same way.
Then he ripped off the leaked script.
Depends when he had that scene filmed. He's been in production of this film since 2007.
Given the similarity, it is possible he got the idea from the leaked script though.
or maybe it's all coincidence.
You guys really think the kamakazi thing was original? That no person could ever come up with that idea? Good lord.
No-one's saying that.
if i remember in aliens gorman went kamikaze with vasquez so he might of got the idea from that, has anyone thought of that?
I heard about this edit at the forums at fanedit.org.
I really enjoyed this alot.
I wasn't expecting alot but exceeded expectations and it's just a whole lot of fun to watch.
You guys that over analyze everything will have a hard time enjoying anything.
Anyway, I was able to download the 3 youtube flvs which seem to be better quality, at 720x480.
The syncing problem is probably because parts 1 and 2 are at 29.919 fps while part 3 is 29.970.
Hence, the syncing issue when I tried combining all 3 into 1 file.
When joining them together with avidemux, I was able to change the fps of parts 1 and 2 to 29.970 without changing the running time. This way I could keep the original audio and hopefully eliminate further syncing issues.
I also cropped out the black bars of all 3 parts and deleted the introductions of parts 2 and 3 so it's all seemless, just like the full version at vimeo.
After joining everything, the end mp4 was still slightly out of sync, but when merged to MKV it came out perfect.
So, the result:
AVP Redemption.mkv
176 MB, 22mn 12s
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x384 29.97fps, 1000 Kbps
Audio: AAC 44100Hz stereo, 108 Kbps
The audio is original and the video bitrate is slightly higher than the original youtube clips (800~900 Kbps) because I didn't want to lose any quality.
You can download from MegaUpload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PDH270EM
May be viewable it at megavideo: http://www.megavideo.com/?d=PDH270EM (MV automatically converts videos upped to MU after a couple of days but the quality is diminished)
At fanedit.info, you can also download a fanedit called AvP Outbreak (by Wraith), which is really good.
If you do get it, download the avi file at MU and not the mp4 at rapidshare, as the avi has much better, DVD quality video along with 5.1 AC3 audio.
Edit: Actually, if Alex doesn't like my posting this, I can remove it.
Guys kamikaze idea was all mine, i never read the leaked script, didn't want the spoilers, plus i shot my scene way before the script got out, its just a coincidence :)

Please let it be a pushover, not saying your not good enough to whatever it is you want to get from this meeting, but the heads of the company are bound to be tough, and critical.

If that don't make sense then I don't know. Basically you justified them for being critical and I never said there wasn't a reason for them to be critical, I just hope there not.
Your response made no contextual sense, but thank you for clearing it up.
I don't think they have any reason to be critical as such, but to get a movie made is very difficult when dealing with studios. Alex is in a good position though in that he has Redemption as a good calling card. It shows everything he's capable of, be that writing, editing, effects, sound, whatever. It's more broad than simply trying to hock a spec script.
Hey guys my last meeting went well, producers are interested developing one of my projects, now im getting the story for the script finalized, it will be Sci-fi Adventure thriller with elements of horror, Working title of the project is "Lost Freighter".

Excellent work Alex!! I really enjoyed AVP:Redemption!!Finally a real AVP film that delivers!!
Great work on the opening credits and all of the Sulaco exterior shots.The Predator homeworld looks amazing and is one of my favorite shots!Also loved the scene with the Elder Pred in the altar chamber with the holographs,very well done.The main Pred in his ship preparing for battle scene also looks very good.Pred arriving in Sulaco looks very good,well lit backgrounds and good lighting on Pred.I specially like the egg chamber scene,very well done.Who ever was playing the Pred made a really good job with Pred movements and fight choreography as well.Great action scenes!the Aliens really look good.Pred targeting laser very well done.Pred cloaking also very well done.Loved the Predalien fight scene!Tail thru head!Ouch!LOL.Marine scene also great,loved the Pred Shield!!You gotta copyright that thing man!!Funny how similar the impaled marine scene was to Nikolai´s from Predators!!I think they ripped you off man!!LOL.
Final battle scene with the Queen Alien simply epic!!
And also epic the ending shot with the exploding Sulaco!!Very well done Fx.
Overall a great production,great soundtrack and good effects.Only have some minor complaints about the Pred wearing boots and didn´t really care for the spinning laser balls too much,but that just a personal opinion.Besides that,everything looks awesome!!
I wish you lotsa luck in your future projects Alex,and who knows,maybe someday you will be directing AVP3!!! :)
^This
Congratulations alex!!!

8) I've seen the film, and I loved it. The music was perfect too. I like the song 'indestructible', it fits perfectly well with the main character. I wonder if there will be more AVP movies.

Personally, I hope he's working on something with a greater chance to not suck. I'd hate to see his career get off to a bad start.
Dude, after seeing Redemption, his ideas don't suck.
I didn't mean like that. It's just, I can't think of a single good crossover film in the long history of crossovers. The closest one that comes to mind is AvP, and that wasn't good at all.
And I'm saying, with him meeting FOX folks, after having seen what he can come up with, he could potentially create a solid story.

I don't think they told him not to make an R film. It might've been his decision. After all, wasn't it the environmental horror that made Alien scary, not the gore? And it had a pretty small budget, too. We're not talking about a Jim Cameron film, here.
Dude. They did.
Go to the prequel section.
I don't recall reading anything about them telling him to make it pg13. I know that it will be, and even so, my point stands: we don't need gore; It's Ridley freaking Scott, not Quentin freaking Tarantino.
Scott had an arguement with Fox about the rating. They made him do it.
This is why I should never be bored...

I just watched this video and I have to say it's pretty damn good.
Keep up the good work.
Alex, any plans for a sequel?
For being a fan film produced by just one guy this one certainly has a better presentation than the commercial ones even when it isn't as polished. Alien Versus Predator, literally. Great job and I think it was worth your patience.

Way to go Alex! :)
Woah, i've never seen this thread before...why did no one tell me? Best thread ever...this Goliath "trailer" is sooo awesome - and that comes from a guy that hates most "low(er) budget projects". Nice to see the Starcraft marine factory again...and Sunshine's soundtrack - godlike. I guess this is the first clip of its kind i like. And i haven't checked out the AVP movie yet...thx, your work is excellent!
Dooooooo it! It's the best AvP film you'll ever watch.
Wow, that was amazing...this is what the "real" AVP movies needed. Space/future and a director that knows his job. Thx again for your awesome work, really good stuff. I really have to share those link on my german board.

Thank you, glad to see that AVPRD fan base is still growing ;)
May i ask which version of "The surface of the sun" (Sunshine) you used in the Goliath trailer? I'm browsing YT atm but only find those lousy trance remixes :D
Wow, that trailer was great. Real proof that a limited budget does not have to mean a limited scope.

alexpj19,
I just gotta say: Holy SHIT that was good! Well done my friend! AVP Redemption was thoroughly enjoyable. That was the honestly one of the best Alien or Predator experiences of my life. I kid you not, I liked it on par with the original Predator film. Your film made me the kind of happy that I was when I got my first Alien action figure as a kid in the early 90s.
Just one person making it was all the more impressive. I just found this thread and I wish you the best of luck with Hollywood. I hope your Goliath film takes off and you hit it big. You have some real talent.
Alex,
If you do make it big in Hollywood, would you consider re-making AVPRD, even as still a small, self satisfying film, since you'd be exposed to (don't take this the wrong way) a more professional camera and production unit?
Today i had a crazy thought that briefly ran through my mind......" may be i should do a sequel to AVP:Redemption....... call it AVP:Rebirth " :)

Please! ;D
Do you have ideas for the story?
At this point its about free time and money :-\ i was even thinking to lunch a kick starter page get funding from fans, quit my job ;D and spend a year of working on a sequel web series.
i have a very cool story in mind. but at this point its mostly thoughts.
I'd fund it.
web series, eh???

It's an echo chamber!
The movie was awesome,

This is a neat f**king thing to show us, I'll definitely be watching this at home when I get there. Hell, I am going to turn on the x-box, play youtube, and watch this on my tv, no way it deserves any less from me.

Damn! I almost forgot how f**king awesome this film was!

This proof of concept for a sequel is all I need to satisfy me right now. I honestly hope that this sequel, or side-story ,or whatever it will be, takes off.

Alex, this is quite remarkable. It's on par with some current gen video games I've seen!
How do you get that handheld camera effect? Is this all CG? Is it CG tracked onto live footage?

The handheld camera us my handheld camera work, just walking around my living room, than tracked and imported in to 3d scene in maya, glad you guys all like the test, I'm kind of trying to make up my mind about the sequel, I have awesome story in mind, will see, if I decide to do it this time I'll try to raise a budget for it through the kickstarter, I want to go for much higher quality this time, pay actors, get some props, colonial marines uniforms, costumes and so on, so a lot of planing and things to consider before committing to at least a year long project :) but if I do it will be a web mini series
Dude, I would have no problem donating some dough if you did it through kickstarter. :)
Fantastic work, Alex. Looking good as per usual.
How long did it take you to create this VFX test?
Texturing, lighting, animation, camera tracking, rendering and After Effects comp about 2days.
I would totally donate money towards your project through Kickstarter.
The only question is that can you legally use Kickstarter for a fan project of an existing property? I am not sure if Fox would like that. I know that they have shut down various AVP mods for games over the years.
It should be fine , I've seen people raise money for the fan films , it's a none taxable donations, not an investman or sale, plus the final film would be free for everyone, but people that donated to the project would get some goodies like, tshirts, signed DVD posters or something like that, as a thank you gift... ;) or something like that

Awesome! I'm in to donate some $ then!
Did anyone come up with a name for the predator in this film?
"Rogue".
Or "Scott".
Alex has reposted in 720p HD.
Holy geez, I forgot all about this. I wonder if Alex ever got anywhere with his Fox meetings.
Really enjoyed that. So much better than Requiem

He was actually going to have meetings with Fox?
Check back over the thread. It was talked about in here somewhere.
Check his channel out! He recently released another short which involves Vikings battling an advanced alien invader. Don't know where he got with pitching to Fox (as I recall, he had to pitch some original stories and stuff), but he must be getting the money for these from somewhere.
