Alien: Isolation - Live Action Fan Film

[@xopsx]

From myself and the Alien: Isolation team at Creative Assembly, Nice work!

[@DarkPathVFX]

Thanks xopsx! It means a lot to hear from the Creative Assembly team! You guys did a fantastic job - couldn't have asked for a better Alien game.

[@xenomorphosaurus7725]

Excellent fan-film. The acting, the lighting, the eeriness, the Xenomorph not being fully shown... it all worked. Once again, great job.

[@DarkPathVFX]

+YaWanka Thanks !

[@xenomorphosaurus7725]

+Dark Path Films You're welcome. :)

[@vinny8589]

this could serve as a pre-sequel to before Amanda's group arrives at the station .

[@tackyman2011]

I felt the danger. This needs more views and more likes.

[@TheBradWittchannel]

Well made and well acted. Great job. I like how the alien isnt fully shown to create a more authentic horror feel.

[@DarkPathVFX]

It's what don't see that scares us.

[@bakes7559]

Loved her eyelashes

[@SpinDizzy-fr8bc]

So....no one is talking about what an evil checkmate that was!?!? Oh man! The comm voice got a 2fer. O2 back online and a pain-in-the-arse blown right out the airlock! Good story, good acting, good DIRECTING!

[@Jose10614]

That was really scary! But what you should have done was when she was trying to access the terminal have a Working Joe show up! Omg that would have been so damn creepy! I love The Alien(Xenomorphs) but they did an amazing job with The Androids In the game!! I give it 9/10!

[@amazingamanda9701]

Blue Xenomorph85, well hello again

[@Jose10614]

Incredible Ian Hey Buddy, I have been meaning to get back talking to you sorry 😐 I’ve been super busy. Having the holidays here , family here, then I was out of town for a little while😱 What been happening? How’s everything going?

[@wysiwyg2006]

great atmosphere! she would be much much more scared looking though, trembling and perspiring loads like ripley was in alien

[@vinny8589]

I think I may have set a few speed records with the password typing in this game...I don't think I was ever more paranoid then playing this with surround-sound at night.. this was the true stuff of nightmares..

[@Scuba837]

Great "no budget" video and wonderful reproduction of the game's aesthetics.

[@sirgrem2988]

Oh my gosh! That was tense and amazing!

[@cliffharaldjallamekk9845]

Not surprised of the length of the video, definitely was on purpose, hehe. Great fan film.

[@bobapm]

If they was an Alien isolation movie i want u guy to do it

[@jpelletier03]

omg That was tense. GREAT JOB. Loved it. :D

[@DarkPathVFX]

+DayStorm Appreciate the compliment - Check back in a few days for our new Fallout Shelter parody

[@berserkerrage9099]

Great video really enjoyed it, hope u make more soon

[@kai76]

Awsome work! Great set and sound design!!

[@MaestroDraven]

Nicely done! The only thing I'd have done different is shoot it in 23.976FPS instead of what appears to be 29.97 so you can get that traditional movie feel.

[@DarkPathVFX]

MaestroDraven Glad you enjoyed it - and I'm right there with you. This was an experiment in 30fps.

[@LukeBroadhurstfilm]

Great job on the alien film, I admire your use of practical effects and the set looks amazing for a short film. A few weeks ago i created and uploaded an Alien Fan Film

[@iharrup]

Holy shoot, guys! I think this film understands the dread of the Alien and its universe better than Ridley himself with "Alien Covenant." The lighting and sound totally sell the film, and the actress is great for this part! You guys gave me the same chills I got in the game itself!

[@DarkPathVFX]

Thanks boss! Appreciate the kind words and for stopping by our humble channel. We've got a new Sci-Fi short coming out in a week or so. It's taken us almost a year but I think you guys will really enjoy!

[@iharrup]

I can't wait!

[@roadkillsoup2863]

We want more!

[@coolmanTJ132]

My god that was amazing It truly does capture the eeriness of the game, you've earnt yourself a sub, i'll try and get some word around about this as well as it deserves way more views.

[@TdotSoul]

Very well done!

[@dragonscargames4808]

Gonna be honest, but there were very few moments I was actually on the edge of my seat. And honestly, there really wasnt a whole lot of "alien" to this. If she was killed, a host for another alien, or if she somehow escaped from the thing only for the alien to actually be on that escape pod (if there is one), then I'd give this a thumbs up. Otherwise, I'm not even gonna give it a thumbs up, but not a thumbs down.

[@Cmmdre977]

Ripley jr. Flashlight sucks. Anyway, good job! It turned out well!

[@Cmmdre977]

You can hardly see anything with the flashlight is what I meant

[@600wheel]

I subbed because I saw you guys are in Las Vegas and I’m not but I wish I was so I’m gonna live vicariously through this subscription also I really dig the video but it was the Vegas thing that got me😎

[@ronjon7942]

Nice work, I love an Alien film. And not showing a xeno is still terrifying. I gotta know, tho - as a gag, tell me the xeno’s shadow was from a cardboard cutout! :)

[@DarkPathVFX]

We used the alien costume headpiece - cardboard cutout would probably have achieved the same results though haha. Thanks for giving one of our early vids a watch

[@burairobbi2558]

I enjoyed it. Good play and cuts :)

[@FredSchachinger]

really well made, loved it! Although I thought the music sounded a little cheesy I must say

[@DarkPathVFX]

+In The Basement Studios (Schakdaddy100) Thanks for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@tennozeorymer]

Why is Amanda Ripley wearing false eyelashes?

[@thexenomorph9280]

pretty cool

[@AnthonyWW68]

That was excellent! Totally captured the suspense and feel of the game. Well done. :)

[@brandonyates4247]

well done. I appreciate the work you guys pulled off. especially the set. But that frames seem faster than they should. Did you film in 24 or 30?

[@DarkPathVFX]

Thanks for the compliment Brandon Yates - we did as much as we could given the limited time and budget available for the project. It was shot on a CanonXF105 @30fps.

[@brandonyates4247]

Dark Path Films ah i am all too familiar with the whole limited time and budget haha but for future i'd recommend shooting all 24fps. It kinda looks documentary'ish if it shot on 30. does that make sense?

[@VictoryCandyStudios]

This was very well done fan film! The lighting was just like the game and I felt the tension in this film so that was perfect! I'm just wondering where did you get the xenomorph cgi or did you make it on blender or something?

[@DarkPathVFX]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. The Xeno was actually 100% practical effect. The head was purchased online from a costume retailer and we put together a basic body from the waist up (although you don't see much).

[@VictoryCandyStudios]

oh can you give a link of where you got it please? :3

[@DarkPathVFX]

VictoryCandyStudios We purchased the head from Amazon.com. They have good "hands/claws" as well. If you're intent on a full body costume, you'll have to make it. There are several great tutorials from cosplayers youtube. Good hunting!

[@VictoryCandyStudios]

okay thank you!

[@witchone7800]

Nice video thanks

[@joshtaylor4153]

Good job

[@jordanmisiura384]

Lance Henriksen twitted you guys.

[@DarkPathVFX]

Just saw that! We are so humbled right now.

[@franktesch1085]

that was great do another one

[@DarkPathVFX]

+Frank Tesch New project in the works! Thanks for stopping by!

[@vaporition]

in space, no one can hear you scream

[@tonyantonellis9983]

AWESOME

[@DarkPathVFX]

Tony Antonellis thanks!

[@tonyantonellis9983]

how did you make this? i even made up own creature that is like the xneomorph but my alien creature is called Anatarian and i made a trailer about the anatarians fighting the gorathians

[@joshtaylor4153]

Awesome

[@DarkPathVFX]

Thanks bro!

[@teddeeh]

Personally its great. what is the framerate? I would consider lowering it to around 20ish.

[@DarkPathVFX]

Its 30fps - was having difficulty in 24fps due to the strobe lights we had going. We agree though - would have looked better in the classic 24.

[@Mops1979]

Tolle Qualität und ein flüssiges Gameplay. Auf welcher Plattform hast Du gespielt?

[@Tasuva]

Very well done, guys! :-) Was this a real set or did you work with green screen?

[@DarkPathVFX]

Thank you for the compliment Tasuva - that was 100% practical set. We always prefer to build a practical environment (when feasible) and use cg and green screen elements to enhance the "real".

[@SleepyGalileo]

This is Great!

[@AdamJZ21]

Is that the Rubies AVP Alien Warrior mask?

[@DarkPathVFX]

Yessir - stuffed with a bunch of foam to fill out the head.

[@vincentleeadams]

And what do you know, a story where a young white female is the heroine, and a white male is the adversary who wants to get her killed. That is so refreshing , original and unexpected:-)

[@DarkPathVFX]

Got em

[@timothydavies5337]

was that a preditor ship at the end ? :)

[@СергейБеспрозванных-х7г]

Full movie! Please!!!!!!!

[@markmuldoon805]

What a dick move. Well done all.

[@Triliton]

Awesome! :) Whos the actress?

[@DarkPathVFX]

She's a local here in Las Vegas who was cool enough to come help out.

[@IconMatthew1]

Cool concept but you kind of do no sells on everything. Just some similar graphics and a vaguely resembling interior that was too dark for us to see anything. I know you couldnt show the alien but more was needed to really make this stand out. Good effort though

[@MrBudgetOrientedMan]

Do "Prey"

[@jamief06]

When did she have time to put fake eyelashes on?

[@DarkPathVFX]

Fake Eyelashes are part of the Sevastapol Employee Dress Code.

[@catherineatzori1319]

Alien cache misère

[@TAGMedia7]

That piercing is distracting.

[@vegitoreborn5652]

I don't know if you're trying to make a movie based on Alien Isolation you would have it match the game not make something up with the logo Alien Isolation attached. I actually don't support creative license or artists portrayal if it isn't exact.

[@elijahmagruder832]

Today we observe a troll in his natural habitat -_-

[@Cmmdre977]

+Elijah Magruder ???

[@ava9oh1282000]

i agree with matt, its very plain and boring. simple sets and poor lighting. i appreciate the level of work you guys went through for this shoot but its just not what i would call, acceptable, sorry.
