ALIEN - The Message FAN FILM (4K Upscale/NEW CC/NO CHAIR)

In June 2020 I uploaded my fan film "Alien - The Message" here on youtube. It was received well, but there was a certain scene with a chair, which was criticized by many viewers.
So I decided to do a update version of this movie. I changed three things. First, I did a new color correction with better "film effects". Second, I upscaled the video to 4K, so KZbin won't reduce the picture quality as much as it does with full hd videos.
And ... in this version of the movie, you won't find the "famous" chair incident anymore. I did a recut of this scene and the alien is still looking for Emily, but she sneaks away. Hope everyone is happy now ... :)
Enjoy the movie ...

Funt Fact...this short film was better than Alien Romulus. Nice work

[@direx1974]

Thanx. I watched "Alien Romulus" last night. The first 30 minutes were fine. After that, the movie got really boring. Very disappointing ...

[@C4DRS4U]

As far as I'm concerned, this is still the high-water mark for epic, cinematic iClone videos even after two years. 😀👏 And this version is even better.

[@AlexKongMX]

@@labrats3d woah, is this project fully done, animated and rendered in iclone?

[@nicholasmallard2926]

This is better then every movie that came after Aliens in the franchise! A flat out masterpiece!!!!

[@direx1974]

Thanx a lot ...

[@johnnydiamondsmusic1673]

That had me on the edge of my seat till the end.

[@JB-eh2oj]

After watching Romulus, I've been down the rabbit hole. So glad I got led here. Great video. Thank you!

[@ToddWaid1]

Fantastic. This was incredible. Really captured the essence of the original movie. The sound design and lighting were spot on and you honestly got me with a few of those jump scares. And as a 53 year old who saw Alien in the theatre with me dad back in 79 that's impressive. Kudos to you sir. I tip my hat to your impressive skills. Keep up the good work.

[@direx1974]

Thanx.

[@reesepacker7983]

wow ..Bravo! a true prequel ...THIS is more like what most fans were expecting when Prometheus was going forward ...with maybe some prolouge stuff dealing with derelict ship and the ORIGINAL Space Jockey ..NOT Ridley's re booted "ancient astronaut " stuff ...which the original ALIEN (or the other films) never even hinted at once

[@Lance-Urbanian-MNB]

Definitely one of the best Fan Films ever made. Thanks a bunch for the cool entertainment.

[@other-terrestriallifeform1851]

I just blunder up on stuff like this and I was wondering why we don't get more stuff like this from the big guys? This is better than the actual franchise cannononical official domain offerings. This is a pretty good little movie!

[@thesilent_gamer5137]

It is unbelievable the amount of detail you have put into this movie. Your Alien is even better than that in the game Alien isolation. I've been a massive fan of Alien since going to watch it underage at just 16, when it scared the sh1t out of me. And this does the movie proud. Well done, all involved

[@JupiterLune]

A fantastic homage to the Alien Saga. Great storyline, accuracy, everything. Alabour of love. Well done. I really enjoyed your work.

[@direx1974]

Thanx ...

Great storytelling. That’s what matters the most.

[@aegontargaryen9322]

What a find ! This was a great little movie , very well made if you ask me . Very gripping throughout.

[@thedudeabides3138]

Romulus wishes it was this good. Well done, you can be very proud of this.

[@direx1974]

Thanx.

[@kal-elbuhay4721]

This gives me Alien isolation vibes I love it 😭💖

[@gregsnow2100]

I loved it! Great story. The immediate tie in to "Alien" was fantastic. Awesome job!

[@all4myutube]

Great prequel to the original, this is a winner as far as I’m concerned.

[@Thomas-sk2vo]

This was more scary than the new alien movie Romulus 😬 Wow - good job!

[@adamhellerud2743]

Thanks for the short movie. Loved how heavily influenced by Alien and Alien Isolation it was. The shot at 22:51 was amazing, thought it was a crawl space door opening. The way you have her read books to familiarize herself with parts of the ship she hadn’t been, was not only great character development but it created tension. Many thoughtful and smart details.

[@juliovieitasconsultoria]

Loved it, from the very first second to the last one. You did an amazing job not only in terms of the suspense and plot but also with the graphics. On top of that, the way you tie "The message" to 1979 "Alien" was impressive. As far as I'm concerned, your movie is now part of the lore. Kudos from Brazil!

[@direx1974]

That's nice to read ... Thanx a lot ...

[@Zach-gr4gh]

This deserves way more likes and recognition for how smooth the animation is and the gripping story you’ve told here. Well done.

[@michaeld2519]

This is exceptionally well made - thank you!! 👍👍💯

[@biggstrek]

Simply brilliant! Probably the best iClone production I've ever seen, if not the best. Even beyond that, it's probably every bit as good as the original Alien movie. It captures the mood of the original like no other. I have no words (other than these) - well done!!!

[@MrUndersolo]

Fantastic to have those two physical confrontations with the xenomorph!

[@3DGraphicsFun]

Absolutely STUNNING STUNNING work!!! And I must say your upscaling this to 4k produced a really impressive sharpness and rendering quality on my big monitor :) 😉

[@SaigonBrit]

This stuck to canon very well indeed, in particular observing the 'last survivor' rule with the Alien. It didn't attack her when it could have- excellent accuracy.

[@jusadude7162]

Thank you. I just discovered this little gem. I was looking at Alien related content and stumbled on this. TBH I am not a fan of this type of video game-like animation but the story kept me interested. Thank you for making this and sharing. It’s actually better than most of the garbage the studios have produced post Aliens.

[@direx1974]

Thanx ...

[@brianbrenner4245]

This is outstanding work, it’s classic Alien.

[@direx1974]

Thanx for watching this ...

[@rubengarcia4218]

Superb storytelling and smooth animated portrayal of the Alien franchise.Bravo!😊

[@Kroggnagch]

10:09 is such a frightening moment... “I’m... I’m alone..” Computer: “No, you are not..”

[@classiccat2221]

Excellent! Terrifying ,Alien Animated movie !👏👏👏👏😱😱😱😱

Thanx a lot ... :)

[@seanwhitehall4652]

Very well done to the creator. Also, a shout out to Alien Isolation for the impact it had on this franchise.

[@I_AM_MALACHI]

This is so brilliantly done!

[@jamesherman1350]

Very nice work. The story line is perfect as a prelude to the original story.

[@marioleo666]

Very cool Movie. Very good Work!!! This is real Alien atmosphere👍👍👍

Outstanding!! Hoping someone out there see's your vision and backs you to create something further spectacular to your liking! Well done really made my day thankyou! 🇦🇺

[@James-rf7bd]

Hollywood should take notes

[@im3phirebird81]

This is by far the best Alien fan work I have seen. The character has life to it, the lighting and camera work is also great. These are the main points that set it apart from others I have seen. Great short story! Potential spoiler: You had me fooled twice thinking she was impregnated ;-)

[@peabuddie]

It's a crime how few upvotes this excellent fan project has. A dirty, rotten, crime.

[@92pavelow]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍outstanding. We need more 😍

[@michaelwardjr7441]

I jumped at the expected jump scare. Thoroughly enjoyed the film. I don't get the cassette player. I think you put that in for kitsch. I loved you version of the xenomorph. Look out Alien Romulus

[@metamind095]

Wow...just wow! I m fairly impressed what you ve done here. I m still moved by the beautiful execution on so many levels. The animations were at a point of me totally fine watching a 2h movie of it (except Alien running animation)...focusing much on facial animation despite beeing hard to produce was absolutely the right move...kudos to that! The tonemapping was especially well put together...it captured the overall grim theme of the story and interrior surroundings of the ship quite nicely. Also the pacing of the story was spot on, I never felt bored and appreciated any minute of it. Thanks so much for making this!

[@TheAngmarwitch]

brilliant stuff, very well done sirs/ ladies

[@fmJack847]

cannot believe how much effort has been put into this. Great job!🎉

[@Relayer526-mi4wt]

Fantastic work. 👏👏👏

[@paulbellaby]

very well done to me. It did have issues but those issues were probably unavoidable. I only have knowlege of character creator and never used iclone but it does make want to get into iclone watching this.

Always impressed to see such resolution with iClone. Great work!

[@MGB-learning]

Great video

[@FCTEdits]

Very good animations, really liked it 🔥👍

[@yngve6640]

I liked it a lot. Exiting plot kept me on edge from start to the end. As an old Alien fan, i loved all the good work put into this story. The Nostromo class ship was a welcoming touch. I could feel the fear and confusion Emily felt, waking up to a empty ship, and then discovering the ship is still on LV426 with the Alien creature on board. Thanks a lot for making this movie. It's a very good product 🫶

[@direx1974]

Thanx a lot ... :)

[@Patriciawilliams-yr6th]

Thx for linking me to this version, (minus the chair)now no further complaints. Good job.😁😁👍👌

[@pjaro77]

Very interesting film. The amateur films have manytimes better scenarios than hollywood blockbuster movies.

[@dhanyrafael]

It was terrifiying, exactly as an Alien movie should be. I was trembling all the 40 minutes. Pure horror !! I really appreciate your hard work. Respect !! 😎

[@donaldcampbell9219]

I’d love to see a short film about the engineers and the juggernaut

[@LPMOVIESTVSofficial]

hello my friend will watch this later happy new year my friend hope all is good with you

[@Thebes77777]

Excellent, totally enjoyed it.

[@SJ-tn5wi]

Loved it!

[@user-io6pj8bz8h]

I wish just once someone would come up with an original idea for these films instead of copying everything. The female as the hero was supposed to be a one off thing, that's what made it interesting.

[@direx1974]

I agree. So if you have any idea, just start working on it ...

[@iclonevuze7777]

Outstanding!! Best I've seen in this group.

[@christophersims7060]

Great job!

[@user-un3wr9ri4l]

It was very well executed and intense! I really enjoyed as other viewers did! That's what people seek in a film like that: 😊 keeping them engaged! Is OK to ask what's with the "chair scene"? PS. Lighting and camera work were superb and on a A+ level!

[@direx1974]

In an older version of the movie, there is a scene where Emily knocks down the alien with a chair. It was a stupid scene, but back then I didn't realized that. After countless remarks on that, I decided to edit this scene out of the movie for this 4K version ...

[@davewebster6458]

The chair was pretty funny tbh 😂​@direx1974

[@eduardosoto226]

Que buen Video

[@darrancoyle8394]

This, I would have paid to see.

[@RodrigoPalma700]

Thanks.

[@AlexKongMX]

AMAZING, I loved it the first time, but this looks a lot better now even! Did you use virtual camera and a mocap suit or volume for this? So cool man!

[@oneeyedfatman5491]

way better than 3 & 4

[@middleB55]

Well Done!

[@djliquidsmoke]

FUCKING AWESOME!!! you kick ass!! I sent to my friends who would appreciate it.

[@n8wzdm562]

Incredible! Near perfect on all levels. My one quibble is with the script. What was the point of Emily's experience? She didn't save her crew. She didn't save herself (Cancer will get her if starvation won't). And she didn't save the crew of the Nostromo.

[@BlockchainGaming]

To survive as long as possible.

[@rustickraev9083]

Holy shit what a fantastic homage! Well done😎

[@PaulEkert]

Amazing work. Will you ever do a tutorial on your workflow? And what did you use to.upscale?

[@direx1974]

I used my video editing program (AVID Media Composer) to upscale the movie from 2K to 4K. I just rendered the original master file with the new resolution. Most 4K discs are done this way (sadly). As for tutorials, there are some videos where I show my animation workflow for this project. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJTRq2hohpajr6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWWckqWXlq1ontE kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6mQq2SKrqyhqLM

🤗❤️ Astonishing 🤗

[@labrats3d]

Why did you cut out that one specific epic scene "der Stuhl der Zerstörung"? 😊 Jokes aside. From what I can tell it's one of the best movies I've seen made inside Iclone (or in this case tranfered to UE4). Let's see how your next project will come out. Best regards Labrats

[@eastfightersboxing-kickbox2034]

Perfect!! Almost Epic!!! and i say almost because i have an Objection! 1st why in the first place Alien didnt kill Waters? seconly when she hit Alien with the chair..she did hurt Alien more than when she shot it??? and at last why Alien still chase her if at the forst place didnt want to kill her?????

[@SaigonBrit]

The Alien is very wary indeed to kill the 'last survivor'. They will only do that if absolutely necessary or directly threatened.
