Hi Guys,
thanks for accepting me on this forum.
So well I am French, 42 years old and so a huge fan of Alien since I saw it the 1st time a long time ago.
The perfect movie : the good director, the good actors, the good plot, the good artist (Giger) at the same moment.
Generally speaking I am as well a fan of comics (Hellboy, Marvel), novels, paintings, every forms of Art.
Cheers Guys.

Hi all, Happy to have found this site

I used to help run alienexperience.com many years ago (and still own the domain) but I have not been active much for a number of years.

It is great to see a site with such recent activity, members and news, so I thought I would join up and be a bit more active again,

This weekend I went to an event for Halloween at the Nation space centre in Leicester (UK), where we watched Aliens, they had an exhibition by UKCM with props from the film, and a Q&A with Terry English and Trevor Steedman. I really enjoyed it and inspired me to get back into it!

Welcome, immortal!I recognize the name but I just can't place it. Did you and Hicks work on Alien Experience together? Wait...did you work on that old CGI AvP film?

I didn't go this year but I went last. I love going to the UKCM events.

I was close! You interviewed the fellow! lol

[immortal]

It was just me and Hicks at one point!

I didn't work on the film, but I used to get updates until they got cease and desist from Fox

There were actually two CGI films if I remember correctly, one was a single persons effort, and the other was a side project from a studio which looked pretty amazing.

I did actually create a few 3D scenes of my own, but never got very far! This must have been 10-15 years ago now...

How long ago was that?

There was the AvP one by Mike and that Colonial Marines one?

Is it something you still do?

I'm not sure exactly, but looking at way back when archive, it must have been around 2001/02

Yeah, it would be fun to find them again, but I think they have got lost on the internet!

No, my career as a 3D animator never took off, but I am a designer!

I just went off searching when you posted. I've found the Colonial Marines one - https://vimeo.com/16435805
I only ever remember clips from AvP on AXP. I remember water tests and Alien movement tests.

Sorry to hear! But as long as you enjoy what you do!

And I feel old! lol

I would have been 17 back then.

Thanks for finding that video!

What is UKCM.

[Corporal Hicks]

They're a cosplay group in the UK. United Kingdom Colonial Marines. If you've seen some UK based promotions and Colonial Marines or Aliens there, odds are they're the UKCM.

Hi, I have been a huge fan of the comics and most of the movies. Glad to be an active member here. I just got the complete  and stone but wont read it till I fly to see my dad in Laos 26ish hours all together so a giant book like this should help.

Also I play the 2010 game on Xbox 360 and want to find more players.

Welcome to the madness!  Be sure to let us know what you think of Fire and Stone. There's a few nice big threads in the Literature board that you might enjoy.
