The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: Alien Encounters: 20 Years of Superior Fan Power DVD
PostPosted: Tue Jan 02, 2007 6:14 pm 
Well, at long last I have got the Alien Encounter dvds mailed off to the encounter head honcho Malika at the UK National Space Centre.

Please allow her some time to put up a post on how to get hold of one, and please don't contact her personally. Obviously it will take a little time to get organised with taking orders and sending them out, so I would say keep coming back to this post until there's some more news.

I should point out that the dvds I have sent Malika at this point are PAL only, and will not play in the US or Canada. :evil: However, the north American NTSC versions are not far behind and will be sent on shortly.:D And I mean shortly because I'm off to the US on a three month trek before the end of the month.


UPDATE: 13 JAN:
US orders now being taken, please see my new post on PAGE 2



I have used some movie clips in the film, and therefore I am not allowed to sell these. However, the dvds are to be exchanged for a charity donation that will cover postage and packing, with all proceeds going to good causes. And no, that doesn't include the HHCCA (Harry Harris Cheese Collection and Archive). :lol:
Malika will advise on these donation prices.

In a months time I will post competition details of the Harry Harris Special Edition Alien Encounters dvd. There will be only three available to win, one for North America, One for Europe and One for the UK. There will be a few extra beauties on that disc, so it'll be well worth trying your luck when the time comes. :shock:

My apologies to all as this has been a long time coming and was more work than I'd reckoned on! Please be patient just a little longer until Malika puts up order details. This longer version of the film is for you guys. There is a shorter re-edited version that I will be submitting to Fox video which I hope they will consider putting on the next Aliens box set, or HD release. That being the case, please do not put any of this stuff up on YouTube. And once again, enormous thanks to all those who helped on the film. x

DVD contents:
Alien Encounters: 20 Years Of Superior Fan Power (53 mins)
Q&A with Terry English & Al Matthews (33 mins)
Photo Gallery

I hope everyone enjoys the film.
Andrew

Having seen this, I have to say that even though the bugger never interviewed me, it's still an incredible piece of work.


Far FAR better than I expected it to be, having seen many "documentaries" about conventions and similar events in the past.

The man deserves a beer from each of us purely in recognition of his "use of music" skills!

Nice one Andrew. Thanks again mate.

This film is the mutts sphericals. It'll bring back memories for everyone who was at the event, but is also enjoyable for anyone who wasn't there. And the choice of music (and dance numbers ;) ) is first class.

And all for a good cause. Get a copy ASAP!

Right guys, first things first we all owe ADC a massive pat on the back / beer / night out etc...

He has come up trumps and made a fantastic DVD that makes you guys look amazing (that was some serious editing and CGI :lol: )

Even more importantly to carry on with the charity theme he has donated these to us to make a few more quids for... yes you've guessed it CHARITY (not the HH Cheese Archive you'll be dissapointed to hear!)

So if you want to get your hands on one of these little beauties, and let me tell you if you don't you are barking mad, you need to make a donation and a little something for p&p.

Now after long discussions on the matter we think that you can all dig deep and throw in £10 for something of this quality (just think you can show your mum and everybody how you are now a film star).

Paypal £10 (this includes a DVD in a box with stunning cover and sealed in the see through stuff, Paypal fees and p&p) to [url=mailto:malikaa@spacecentre.co.uk]malikaa@spacecentre.co.uk[/url] and I will pop one in a bubble wrap envelope and send it first class.

Spread the word and make sure everybody knows where to get the DVD of the year from - remember these will never be for sale, please DO NOT stick them on Ebay (realise this probably won't happen, but just need to make sure).

THESE DVD'S ARE PAL ONLY AT THIS TIME

Is the 10 UKP price for shipping only in the United Kingdom, or to the US as well?

Looking forward to seeing this!

Now if that Alien War restrospective DVD ever materializes it will be like Christmas all over again! :)

If you want to wait until we have NTSC I will post up the US costs, but I think it will be the same or there abouts.

Oh, while I am here a big thanks to those who have purchased these already and donated more than the requested donation! I was a little taken back by your generosity!

Just sent a huge batch out in the post, so if you have paid by Paypal you should get yours this weekend - Saturday night in pizza and a bottle of wine me thinks!

Having seen this I have to say it is the dogs you-know-whats and you guys should make Andrew an honourary award of some kind for all the hard work and donating them to us.

Second batch sent out this morning and the pile on my desk is now tiny!

I think these will sell out soon, so thanks for being on the ball (except those who kept ordering one at a time - mentioning no name, cheese anybody!)

I also had a check through the gallery images last night and had a chuckle at the one of me with a gun and a "fag in gob" look!

Who has the original of that image, as I see a new picture for Mum's "daughter from hell" wall coming up!

I guess that'd be me then!

Rather than a "daughter from hell" I thought it represented more.......... 'A Leader of Men!' :D

PM on it's way!

Cheers,

Andy.

I have to admit to having a bit of manly grit in my eye when I watched my copy. I couldn't be more proud to have been part of such a great event.

What can I say;

Brilliant, Brilliant, ...........fricking outstandingly Brilliant! :D

Karyn and I have just finished watching the dvd whilst chowing down on a very nice stir fry.

A really lovely item all round, the dvd that is, not the stir fry, the content is superb and a great cover to boot.

The picture editing and sound is absolutely amazing.

It brought back some very happy memories, a must have item for anyone that was at the event.

I'm also sure that those who were unfortunately unable to make it to the event will find the dvd a worthy substitiute.

The way it has been put together makes you feel as if you were actually there, either experiencing it for the first time or reliving the ride!

The two music sequences at the end were above and beyond, must have had a bit of manly grit in my eye as well when the 'Cheers' theme bit came on.

Nearly lost some of my stir fry when I read the credits:

"Gareth would like to thank Lucozade for toliet facilities!" :lol:

A big thank you to ADC, Malika and everyone involved with documenting, creating the dvd and then sharing the event with us.

Whilst we're on the subject, even though I was at the event, and took part, albeit it in a very small way, I hadn't realised what a truly monumental effort by so many people went into making that event a reality.

Watching the dvd has opened my eyes........another round of applause to all involved.

If you're still reading you must either be mad, or very bored, my final word is do yourself a favour and get a copy of this dvd!

Cheers,

Andy.
