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!

This all sounds really cool!
Im going to try my best to get down and see this !

It's all very exciting AND to have more than one alien involved! So glad this will be filmed too! Will it be avalible to download after the event? It would be cool if it was-that way the people who can't make it can atleast see some of the action!
:)


Best of luck guys!!

YES, YES, YES, YES!

The more the merrier!

The Props Store of London were talking about possibly sending some Riddick stuff, so we could make sure it is added to the list and make it a feature.

Let me know what you need.

Are there going to be Stunt Alien suits as well as Hero suits?

Like Jez said I'm sure the full suit is pretty hot, and I assume it's pretty cumbersome. So is running in the suit possible? Surely in half light and at a distance somebody with just a head, some chest pipes and a tail wearing a black spandex suit running past the end of a corridor would help create the illusion there are more Aliens than there really are. Hell even just an Alien head peeking round the corner would send shivers down the spine.
With a chariot wheel in each hand he killed 100 men by his left and 100 men by his right, he did not think it too many.

I think one Alien would be enough for me to need a trouser change! :lol:

Well yeah I remember when I did Alien War the most effective bit was where the lights went out. My girlfriend at the time grabbed my left arm really tight, then all of a sudden someone grabbed my right arm! When the lights came back on it was some strange girl who'd obviously just grabbed the nearest bloke to her.

Ageed - often the most scary things are those we cant actually see.

I've suggested we remove a big ceiling tile from the NSC area somewhere and put a speaker up inside with some Alien breathing noises! (I wonder if anyone would dare poke their face up :lol: )

Cheers

Never underestimate the power of a well timed muffled, blood curdling scream thats suddenly cut off...

Actually thats an idea, maybe use some of the audio of the movie where Apone gets attacked in the Atmoshpere processor, have that piped into an intercom, like a squad up ahead is being attacked....








... i'll get me coat.

I will come up with a way to have the fingers moving.
Ill work on that idea tonight! I'll order up the materials tonight too! Ill do the best I can to have it ready for the event.

I will post pictures up soon as Ive started. Be patient though.

If it helps out with the event then I'd gladly donate it for free and post it down to you Jez if thats cool?

BuGz;)

An idea I mentioned a while ago, was having a remote control face hugger. Be cool seeing that scurrying accross the floor.

Yeah, I had the idea of a r/c facehugger too a while ago, but I dont really think is feasable unfortunately. You would need someone with line of sight to control it, and as its going to be quite dark and atmospheric, its likely it wouldnt be noticed. An alternative was a facehugger scurrying across a wall (along a thin wire) but this probably wouldnt be that noticeable either.

Theres also the mechanics involved in building a r/c walker. Its not too difficult (I've done it) but it wasnt particularly fast, and deffo didnt scurry!

TTFN

Jon.

Hey guys, nice ideas, but trash my Challenger building and I will inflict pain upon you! :D

Playing sound effects to freak people out is all well and good, but "puppeteers" in the celling is starting to make my risk assessment nerve twitch!

Some great ideas (and keep them coming) but remember the set up time is limited and it may be better to focus on the stuff we (or should I say you) have time to do really well, rather than 101 things we haven't had time to test.

Would it be possible to mock up a table with the hugger inside a specimen tube. Figure out someway to make it lunge at the victims, er, passerbys...

Just throwing ideas..:)
