Alien Carpathia 2022

[@DaveJonesproductions]

People ask me what the most challenging part of making this film. For me it was the scene when Ross gets splashed with the acid. That 15 second scene took over a month on its own. And it took multiple render attempts to get it right. I have been using poser and 3ds max for 17 years and I picked up a few tricks along the way. So Ross had his clothing, his main body, a muscle layer, an organ layer and a skeleton bone layer. All were linked together so the animation was in sync. Each part had animated texture sequences applied including an animated opacity texture. I created the clothing, skin, muscles, organs and bone to melt away in Adobe after effects using the opacity layer to complete the effect. I then imported the scene into 3ds max with all the animated textures and then applied a fumefx smoke layer to his chest, arm bone and a little bit on his skull. Hit render (4 times) and the end result is a month of trial and error

I really liked the build-up and setting up your characters. Most horror films these days can't go ten minutes without blowing their load, if you'll forgive my crudeness. Very well done

[@DaveJonesproductions]

I was trying very hard to keep to the theme of the original film. I could have spent longer with character development and non pacing scenes to make the film longer and add more layers but because this is a cgi fan film you don't want to lose attention from the audience with too much ambient stuff of characters playing cards or generally slowing everything down. I think I put in enough to keep it engaging, not to mention it would have taken longer than the 2 years I spent making it

I know this is 2 years old but I been watching a lot of alien videos and I just seen Alien Romulus last night. This is very impressive work you have done here. I love how you included the prisoner turning into an ovamorph. Something that hasn’t been seen since the deleted scene of the first movie. I really hope you continue to make these types of films. Whether it’s another Alien or a completely new project. You obviously have the ability to make amazing art. I wish you nothing but the best in your future ventures. Keep going with it!

[@Jack_Jack_907]

This is an absolute masterpiece!! I can tell that you truly love the Alien franchise and wanted to do right by it even if this probably took you years to make sure all the details were right, I applaud your dedication and effort to make this fan film as close to the first movie and 2nd with the Queen molting at the end. (Nice nod, btw!) I absolutely adore this movie. You really captured the suspense and tension, and I hope that you continue to work on more projects like this in the future.

[@kerenhumphreys43]

Great stuff! You have shown that Alien can also be a comedy. I laughed so much, especially at the characters voices, the robot and the chestburster. The storyline was very good indeed.

[@biohazardhip2385]

I just stumbled onto your channel after I was having a marathon of alien game walkthroughs watching and your channel came up and I got to say this is by far one of the greatest fan projects I've ever seen you honestly captivated like the original alien vibe and like blended it with the lore with the alien molt and such this was fantastic and great inclusion with the isolation bit that was a great touch and great use of special order oh my gosh dude this was perfect 10 out of 10 I hope you continue doing more projects like this in the future and wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors

[@DaveJonesproductions]

thank you. I tried to keep as close to the lore as possible and tie in everything based on the true timeline. This project was a labor of love that took me over 2 years to make. I planned that my next project after this one was going to be a predator story, following a youngling yautja from the homeworld get accepted for his rite of passage and take his first hunt on earth during the caveman era

[@biohazardhip2385]

Interesting choice on that I wish you the best of luck on that and I'll definitely be watching because I don't see too many creators nowadays creating like this kind of method and if you've already moved on to unreal engine I can only just imagine the work that you're probably going to be doing in the future whether people predator or alien or an AVP as long as it is you did a fantastic job on this solid literally I was actually perplexed over the fact of the amount of like the build up the suspense and honestly I noticed when you did the egg morph bit I'm assuming you were going back for like the first route nice touch on that by the way really nice touch

Story: 7/10 Graphics: 10/10 Attention to detail: 10/10 Sound FX: 11/10 Music 10/10 (But some parts felt like they needed music to boost them.) Voice acting: 6/10 (Depends on character, they range from 4 to 7.) Character animation: 6/10 (A point extra for single-man development.) I totally get that this was a one-man-development project, but I had to give a fair opinion, because a lot of what you were going for, you NAILED. The video log was insane, and 🤣 at the finger crank. Great job all and all.

I have been an alien fan since my teens and I spent months doing extensive research from novels, to comics, to studying all the military ranks used in this universe and what all those unique ship logos from the nostromo mean (airlock, medway, pressure suit etc.. ) just so that I could keep the story grounded and within the lore of the films.

[@parmadacruz8755]

My idea for a third alien covenant/prometheus movie is as follows: The engineers are the main characters in the movie and comes to the planet that was in the Prometheus movie. There they find Weyland inside the crashed spaceship. They have a blue elixir which they empty all over him and bring him to life. But while doing this the Deacon from the Prometheus movie sneaks into their spaceship and hide it self in one of the ventilation chambers. In the next part they arrive at the planet from alien covenant and find the other robot(Walter) who is david's twin.The engineers use the blue elixir and repairs him. Once awaken the engineers and Weyland get to know all the horrible things that David has done, and weyland says "we have to stop David" . They set course for origae. When they arrive,they scans all the planet,and finds the planet is full of hostile organisms except on a high mountain where they discover that there are humans inside a cave. Inside the cave they meet a herd of children, who tell that when they had lived on the planet for over ten years, they began to be attacked by Xenomorphs and all the adults died or were turned into these creatures. There were also great giants developed by someone the children calls David. The engineers get ready to wipe out all the Xenomorphs that David has created, but the great giants manage to escape with one of the engineers' spaceships. The engineers and Weyland hunts the spaceship and manage to force the spaceship down on the planet lv426.Where it start sending a distress signal. The engineers return to Origae to find David, but discover that he has escaped. In the last part we see David arriving and meeting an unknown alien species on a tropical like planet. But when he and the unknown aliens have left the spaceship,the deacon slips out of the ship and is seen running toward the nearest settlement. And that makes the cliffhanger that ends the third movie.

Hi Dave. If you feel compelled to do another one: Where is the biomass coming from for all the goo? When are the characters not going to abandon logic? Why are huge doors circumvented by 'drop ceilings'/access ladders? Why aren't doors lockable and how would Aliens know how to use them? Why would embryos know about cryo tubes? These are all faults (and many more) from everybody that has ever worked on these stories from the beginning. I absolutely love all the effort everybody has made in bringing their versions to life. Can someone, please, give us a story that does not have plot holes large enough for a studio to ram another bad prequel/sequel through? I will donate to a story that doesn't leave us saying, 'Yeah, but'. Great effort on your part.

This is a fantastic movie. I came back to this after seeing Alien Romulus, and I am mixed. Somethings good, Somethings bad. Bad things, Nostromo wreckage says Nostromo on it. Some might say Where's the problem?" but as any alien fan knows, the Nostromo never had any signage on it. Ash CGI was awful, and so was the Alien, human hybrid. Caliee Spainey doesn't have much emotion. She has to now work for another 5 years or more because the company had extended her contract and moved her to the mines. Where people are dying from breathing in shit from the mining and the other dangers of mining. Good, great visuals, Jackson's star looks real and feels like a real world, a good premise. But could have been done better. So great job on this.
