[Aliens] [1986] [Making Of] [2003] [V] [11/25]

[@MrSkinnynerd03]

the amount of love, care, and attention to the practical effects is much more than what any CGI counterpart will ever achieve.

[@PapagenoJuan2]

whats really cool in the second one is that... they had alll these ideas and James was sooo open to giving the creators of the aliens "free reign". niiice :))

[@windycitytoast]

yeah your right, the funny thing too is that Stan Winston who worked on this film also worked on the dinotronics on Jurassic Park.

[@MrBillcale]

amazing, so much more integrity than cgi

[@AlessaParker]

Cameron: "You don't create fear with gore. You create disgust. It's a whole different emotion." and yet 89% of horror films today rely so much on blood on gore which is why I think a lot of them fail...:I It's a bit sad...

[@dantespimp]

I agree: some of the fx prior to CG was amazing and more real-looking than what we see today. That Alien Queen looks tons better today than any other CG film. Sadly, with the advent of CG, the way of doing creatures old-school style has been diminished. Which is sad, since Stan Winston and other FX groups like him were really getting to take things to a new height. :(

2:35 The chestburster is performing an opera. :)

[@zirius89]

Beautiful to see how much effort went in there to make these monsters as realistic looking as possible.Today it's just poor CGI where you can clearly see that it's CGI.I wish movies would go back to the whole modelling stuff and only using CGI when there is really no other way to realise it.

[@MexicanJumpingLlama]

@walkinginspace I wouldn't say its wrong to say that animatronics look better than CG. Both of them, when used correctly for the right purpose, create an extremely realistic image. Avatar would've been a worse film if it had used costumes, puppets and animatronics instead of CG. Look at a film like Pan's Labyrinth. The fawn in that is a guy in a suit with animatronics controlling his face. You'd agree it does look extremely convincing and the detail that is present is just amazing.

[@Aleco780]

How it all looks realistic.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

hell yeah

[@windycitytoast]

very true.

[@windycitytoast]

6:38, the guy on screen and talking in the narration sounds exactly like seth mcfarlane.

[@Schizm1]

actually, If you see Prometheus making of you'll see that 80% of stuff where done without CGI.

[@MoveOverCasanova]

the facehugger is really the creepiest in the alien cyce

[@TheShorty0ne]

with animatronics everything looks realistic...cause it are real things...i think movies like this or jurassic park looks more realistic than modern movies from the last 10 years.

[@TheSorrow696]

too true movie magic

[@olliechanter6618]

Agreed, pretty much the only movie to make a good use of CGI (and cleverly work to its constraints) is Jurassic Park. Nothing can beat (good) animatronics.

[@Darko769.]

10 skulls out of 10...

[@Eldeecue]

@MrBOPESquad2 So would Lion King. The thing with Avatar is that it's a cartoon. I know a _lot_ of work went into it and blah blah blah...but it still has the feel of a cartoon, for better and worse.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

I c, now are you talking about the new Spiderman having bad effects (they looked really cheesey from the trailer), or are you talking about Prometheus having bad effects. I really hope its just spidyman and not Prometh, I really hope that movie is good. Also, when the heck is Carnage going to make an appearence in a Spidy film, he is the best villian to come out of the spiderman universe.

[@Curien247]

Alaskan king crab on steroids!!

[@walkinginspace]

Watch Avatar. I would love to see a animatronic do that. I bet you've seen CGI and had no idea that it was CGI because it was GOOD CGI. Of course animatronics and practical effects look better than BAD CGI. I love these classics too. But to say animatronics look more realistic is just plain wrong to say.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

some CGI is good but for the most part I prefer suits/animatronics look more realistic because its real, not computer generated effects. I don't hate CGI but its just 2 smooth overall so it looks fake.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

Hell yeah! The queen alien in AVP was shit! Talk about "boss monster" it reminded me of the queen alien boss in the AVP video games, in fact it looked worse almost lol. Now I do think the Predalien in AVPR was pretty cool. It was mostly animatronics, and a dude in a suit. 2 Make the thing look huge they used camera angles like in Lord Of The Rings but the Predalien suit really wasn't much bigger than the actor in the Predator suit. But yeah the CGI queen was kinda blah and not terrifying.

[@WalterLiddy]

This guy Rosengrant needs to stop talking at the same time as the other effects guy. You can't make out what either one is saying.

[@virko1990]

Cgi...BLerh!!!!!!!!
