AvP Galaxy staffer, Ikarop, recently discovered via the Worldwide Production Agency that Neville Page will be doing concept art and costume design for Prometheus.
Page has worked on more than a few big projects over the past years including Cloverfield, Star Trek, Tron: Legacy and Avatar to name a few. Page is also working on the upcoming creature-feature Super 8. You can find Neville Page’s résumé here which confirms his involvement with Prometheus.

Quote from: dallas001 on May 28, 2011, 07:51:04 PMADI haven't been mentioned with this project at all. Giger was said to be on board a few months ago.
SO does this mean that the god awful designs of ADI, the poor mans Stan Winston have been rejected? If someone can confirm that I think it would be great. Plus I can assume Giger still has reservations about what happened in 1990/91 with the travesty of a film ALIEN 3.
Its been too long for fox to get it right. This should have been done in 1990/1991 when we already had 2 great films.

Wait, does this mean that they haven't started making the Alien/monster costumes yet? What about all those sightings of "Alien suits" or costumes that everyone here is all up about? Does this mean that those are all fake?

Therefore, how exactly is Mr. Page going to "pull a Cloverfield"?! ::)

Our world is your world mate.
Its hard to tell if someone is a good designer for an alien, because there really is nothing like it. If they haven't worked on a xenomorph before, we wont know if it would be biomech. I have faith this guy will follow Gigers designs, but I wonder about the costumes.
Quote from: Sharp Sticks on May 31, 2011, 08:03:08 PMPart of the -IMHO- greatness in the Avatar designs comes from Wayne Barlowe if you ask me - the design of the Ikran in particular was his, the most part that is, other artists including Page later tweaked it a bit; though I'll agree Neville did a jump for Avatar. Also liked his Lobster Monster in Star Trek; he's generally good, but what he does better is costumes and machines.
He did some slick stuff for Avatar - and I do mean slick, all the creatures looked like they had car chassis for skin. Very synthetic. I'm sure he'll do good work. As long as Giger's on board I'm happy.
Quote from: cloverfan98 on May 31, 2011, 07:55:32 PMTo tell you the truth some of the concepts (http://www.nevillepage.com/film-portfolio/cloverfield/) were pretty damn sweet; the final result was cool indeed, though it was generic for the most part.
I am offened. Clover is offended. YOUR WORLD WILL BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still hold that Clover is a fantastic design but I agree. The Alien IS HR Giger's ultimate creation, and as much as I like Page I'm not sure his style blends with Giger's. He's amazing at taking real animal traits and looks and making something new with them, but Giger's style is completly alien. There's nothing on this earth that is simllar to it.

I just can't see a difference between Page and any of the other hundreds of designers on films like Star Wars to the likes of Avatar. The designs aren't bad...they just look like they all went to the same art school and learned the same way. I'm bored by it all. Giger is the only intriguing creature designer I've seen in a while. I do have high hopes however that Giger will come up with something terrifying for PROMETHEUS and the magic will be conjured again.
TEASER POSTER / IMAGE NOW!! hehe

Abrams/Reeves evidently liked this one (http://www.nevillepage.com/wp-content/gallery/cloverfield/untitled-8.jpg) and decided to further modfiy the design on that base, as demonstrated by the concepts next to it. Some ideas were really nice. I liked those:
I don't know if it was like that because it was strictly what the film director wanted or if it was the limit of what creature designer was able to create
