from the looks of it, if you zoom really close... this looks like a live minuature set.
Do you see the jaugernaut imbedded into the ground 1/3rd and at the bottom of the picture (two of it's ends pointing up and at an angle sky ward)?
And the rest of the area looking like a fake ocean with fake mountainous islands? This entire area is encased with the large mats in front of the guy wearing orange?

Another close up of the miniature islands

Yeah, I kinda see it.
You are completely right! ;)
That does indeed look like a Juggernaut! Come on, teaser trailer!
So LV 426 was a beautiful paradise before it went to shits and giggles.

I can see what looks like two dead tree branches sticking into the air.

I can see what appears to be a tarpaulin stretched over a wooden scaffold with mounds of dirt on it.
But I got to give it to you guys, you certainly have very vivid imaginations! :laugh:
You can see one of the branch sticking up in detail in the second picture left side.
Yes, you are right about branches... but it could still be a miniature set.
Who knows. I myself prefer practical set, miniatures, and special effect tricks!
In any case, it's a highly unusual looking branch that happens to be shaped like a horseshoe or placed to look like a horse shoe in a movie that involves a spaceship the shape of a......you know what i mean. If its there, its certainly can be used as a scale reference for the ship in post production. I wouldn't expect them to use much of those fake mountains anyway, I expect full CGI and the huge mountain range in comparison is actually that of when Prometheus first got through tthe atmosphere of lv 223.
Its not a miniature set. I can think of zero benefits to making one outdoors. Forced perspective included. Maybe TOHO, years ago. Also those are just branches.
I know about Toho , but why? Why make a sand castle in the middle of nowhere? i Want to believe!
If the crew had nothing to do that day but mock the actual sets, they are bunch of hobos!

I think Toho filmed in studios.

Offcourse its an engineer ship, its maybe not in its correct position and maybe its waiting to be put in the right position.
But lets hope its not another crashed engineer vessel lol
Why is everybody so full of denial, its an alien movie about engineers, it aint a tree it aint a branch its a f**king engineer ship.
Good eye. Strange coincidence or reel model of Juggernaut?

Ok... so we went from biomechanical ship to mechanical ship to ship made out of wood.... holy f**k these are some old ass engineers. :laugh:
Blomkamp filmed models outdoors for Elysium. It was easier to just film the damn things in front of actual sky than composite them later.
While the similarity is undeniable, it just looks like wood to me.
Though, someone did mention they saw a miniature of the Derelict at the quarry location. It was only one person to mention this to me and I didn't get any photos but just thought I'd throw it out there.

You cant tell if its wood and you cant tell if its metal or whatever,
what you can see is the shape and the color and a small amount of details at the claws.
The picture isnt detailed enough for us to see what material it is and the paws seem to have little squared shape openings,
could be a opening to carry the eggs in.
So your argument is very very invalid concerning the material.

Yes, but that was outside on the studio backlot, not in a very remote and ecologically sensitive national park where it rains every five minutes. Lucas built very elaborate miniatures for The Phantom Menace outside on the Leavesden Film Studios backlot as well, since it was the easiest way to achieve natural lighting for the desert scenes.

How about you journey back, way back, like to the first page in this thread and view the first picture....shaped like a HORSE SHOE!
And if you believe that for one second that the other set footage of the tree stumps with the cgi tracking squares will be JUST tree stumps in the final film, you might as well imagine this thread was created by robots.
Engineers are worse pilots than the Roswell aliens.
QuoteYes, but that was outside on the studio backlot, not in a very remote and ecologically sensitive national park where it rains every five minutes.
This.
Even if you wanted the Milford Sound background - you just shoot background plates like they did at Wadi Rum. If they're shooting 3D, pretty sure forced perspective wouldn't work anyway. After using CG ships for Prometheus I can't imagine why they go back to practical models.
Looks like a stump.
Its a stump.. Obviously

I'm aware. People were asking if miniatures were ever filmed outside. I pointed out an example where they were.

We need humans to find a planet where the Engineers are experimenting on new ship designs that don't always seem to crashland the same way.

I don't know about the worse but they sure as hell can't drive a stick. :laugh:

Actually the stuff in that box sure looks like a stainless steel alien carapace and some of it's dorsal tubes... yup. Prometheus was full of metal and now so too, the alien will be made out of Stainless Steel!
That or it could be the magical, mythological, box-alien.

Ok its an engineer branch.
