HR Giger Art in Prometheus

The airbrush paintings are his old works that were used in Prometheus. The pen sketches are some of the new designs.
you will see his conceptuals for The Deacon, Hammerpeeds, Babyhead (Fifiled monster), etc
In the Prometheus Collector's Edition they have a minimovie called "Gigeresque", where his input to the film is showcased.

[@Hauerization]

I still feel the inside of the original (as in "Alien") derelict craft looks the best. A small detail I noticed - the floor (on the derelict in Prometheus) is clean and smooth - in Alien it is as worked out as the walls and ceeling. Thats usually how you can spot a designer with a keen eye - if the floor looks good, chances are the rest of it will look good to.

[@ttfii]

I have never heard music so hilariously out of place.

[@majinanti3645]

This video is so much better than the actual movie.

[@jerl7320]

That music lol....

[@argsigil7208]

HR Giger once said " The Alien is the Star " this is why ALIEN is acknowledged as a Classic and the others are mere imitations or '' inspired by " they had to use Giger but instead "Directors "with their Egos wouldn't allow it and therefore the results are there for All to see.

[@JanKowalski-rq7dv]

Very good documentation movie H.R.GIGER.

[@argive25]

Giger may be a real creeper but you can't deny his unbelievable talent and originality. I love his art as much as it creeps me out:/

[@jacobl4597]

Prometheus was great ,cant wait for part two!

[@AlexCailliau]

What the hell is this for music!!! Did you fall on your head before to upload this???

[@kezadrone]

The original concept is from the 70's . Geeze.

[@kezadrone]

It's also a good choice of track, being that it makes Giger's artwork and designs seem even more ahead of their time. Often hard to believe that during A L I E N this is the sort of stuff you'd have heard on the radio.

[@msmorelia50]

Giger liked progressive jazz like MAGMA and other music similar to this

[@KlingonCaptain]

I just watched "Prometheus" for the umpteenth time today. Fan-spam in a can-tastic!

[@rayganotti4596]

some of this stuff was drawn up by him for Jodorowsky's Dune.

[@Coypop]

I adore Giger, but from what I watched on the Prometheus blu-ray it seems to me that Ridley Scott really wanted to work with Giger, but Giger didn't have his heart in it. They ended up using paintings Giger did 30 to 40 years ago and a few sketches that looked like they took an hour to do. Compare that with the new biomechanical artists featured on the DVD; Dozens of digital paintings and 3D sculptures that look just amazing as Giger's Alien and Dune works. I think Gigers still bitter.

[@checotey]

I turned off audio after 30 seconds for obvious reasons and strongly recommend you guyz to do the same !! it's a pain in the bloody ass...the rest is quite interesting though...

[@msmorelia50]

Ya'll are crazy this Music is Killer

[@bollwerk666]

the people will allways remember this: alien=H.R.Giger

[@blakjack3053]

My three all time favorite artists are Roger Dean of Yes album cover art, H.R. Giger and Bob Ross.

[@mattanderson4965]

Cool and almost a 1950's sci-fi music.

[@soulextracter]

Yeah, and that's when I turned off the audio.

[@ImmaDeacon]

"The Evidence (Dangerous Version)" - Evidence (1978) it's on youtube :)

[@harrihiltunen4329]

giger is genius....

[@ImmaDeacon]

Giger was brought on a little late, plus he's retired he did about 50 or so sketches though I'm sure he wasn't "put to work" but more honored on set through his old stuff

[@SleepySloth2705]

I remember when watching the movie in the cinema, I was pointing out Giger's art all the time while going "EHRRMAHGHERRD!!"

[@amusement420]

3:50 Now that is a Noomi-licious piece of art

[@eduardorivera4343]

WHAT'S UP WITH THIS BAD DISCO MUSIC?.

[@MPM.Mikus.P.]

Wow, dig that 70's discotheque!😝

[@Elendill2003]

My ears are bleeding.

[@ImmaDeacon]

yea, most of it's unused stuff from earlier films. but ironically Prometheus had the greater quantity of giger designs than any other film, yet giger didn't have to do hardly any new work. just did a couple of loose pen sketches babam paycheck. It's nice that they brought him on the set though. all of the other Alien directors ignored Giger, but never Ridley.

[@Hauerization]

Great song!

[@Frater_Tyskos]

the evidence & giger, great combination, well done, cheers & peace

[@KAZ132]

Great images....just getting my disco pants on 😳

[@se7endram]

I like the audio track. I cant believe its that old and I have never heard it before now.....wow

[@eronacalloway9159]

If THIS Music is ever received by an Alien Race they Surely WILL locate the Earth and blow the Earth and us to Pieces.

[@zacharymcguire8514]

this is such a teaser from real beauty

[@RaikenXion]

The engineer facility/temple was actually from 1 of Giger's drawings for Dune I think it was. I like that they used that cus I think Ridley originally intended to use it in Alien. I luv that Ridley brought Giger bk and wanted sum of his input, the only trouble was they'd just left it too damn long. Anyway I'd luv for the sequel if Ridley reveals the engineers species name as Necronim, in honor of Giger.

[@harrihiltunen633]

h.r.giger is fantastic.

[@ArtofLunatik]

He was involved to an extent, in the bluray documentary of prometheus they explain how he was involved.

[@Armandogallegosr]

This is Guardians of the Galaxy or Saturday Night Fever?

[@MrBrianBpaul]

Damn. He had some really amazing work in here,Shame that wasted it on that

[@Coypop]

Yeah that makes sense, I think the deacon mural in the giant head chamber came from his sketches. If I had my way he would've designed everything on LV-223.

[@TheEDNC]

Okay, I am a huge HR fan but what is this I’m looking and listening to? I feel like I’m stranded on Mars with Matt Damon listening to 70’s disco? Yikes! See ya!

[@guilux666]

HR Giger and disco nope !! And nope ...

[@krn2487]

never.

[@BOBMAN1980]

Almost none of this is Prometheus exclusively, and just about everything here comes from stuff Giger designed for other movies--Dune and Poltergeist 2--that Prometheus coopted.

[@JanneFlinck]

wonder how much giger was involved in this film?

[@amusement420]

fwiw let's make sure everyone knows it's pronounced "GEEG-ur". Lance Henrickson called him "Geye-ger" as in geiger counter : )

[@Javert2012]

😚baby, that's niiiice

[@ImmaDeacon]

70's actually hehe

[@ImmaDeacon]

thanks The Evidence (Dangerous Version) - Evidence (1978)

[@jonesy2111]

Oh man that music...uuuugghhhhh

[@mhizl18]

I don't know if you put this together or just put the music to this, but IT. IS. BLOWING. MY. MIND. THANK YOU!

[@MrIwantmymtv]

good primitive 'alien' design though... i suppose that was original after all...

[@CollectionTHX1138]

Sweet! I just uploaded 'H.R. Giger's Alien Film Design Art Book w 18" Kenner Alien 20th Century Fox '. It shows the egg silo shape (shown here @ 2:06) used in the Kenner Alien box logo :

[@MrIwantmymtv]

well ridlei is quite conscious of the fact that his second feature film (alien) wouldn't have been successful if it wasn't for giger's work... which perfectly fitted ridley and o'bannon an shusett wishes... it wasn't pure gimmick like alien 3 where producers carved 'giger' as main designer and let fincher do the main stuff (damn fox liars)

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

3:52 looks like the barf creature Mr Freeling vomited out of his tummy in Poltergeist #2

[@yardhaunt2000]

I wonder if the Engineer could take on a Predator (sacrilege!) I have his Necronomicon book. Pretty sweet.

[@spider-fan9809]

This music scares me.

[@yardhaunt2000]

Sounds like the beginning of Funkadelic's Maggot Brain.

[@BrianL33T]

4:12 deserves a meme.

[@spacemanvw]

What the fuck is that kind of old musical doing with giger .......???????

[@Hauerization]

Great song. To much pop-metal going on elswhere as it is. Keep it. ;)

[@RedVelvetUnderground333]

Music rocks

[@MikoGot]

cool! what's the name of the song?

[@ColJochen]

Gigers work has soul..all the conceptual work done at these FX studios looks transparent, uninspiring, imitation. Giger should have been designing nearly the entire film (when it came to bio-mechanics,alien technology..etc. Only thing i though was done nicely was the Engineers out of their space travel suits. Nobody is going to breath life into Alien bio-mechanics like HR Giger. 20th Century Fox and Amalgamated Dynamix actually tried to fuck over Giger on Alien 3. Giger filed suit, sued and won.

[@yardhaunt2000]

The Engineer's a sexual Tyrannosaurus. Oh wwait that's Governor Jesse Ventura lol

[@PISEc412]

Куда только подевались яйца вместо сосудов,на Прометей.

[@armandolordamd]

H.R.GIGER RULEZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paulfogarty7724]

Amazing that a lot of prople still think it was a prequel to Alien - which it was,nt. The whole " Chariots of the Gods " thing made a lot of Alien fans cringe - including me. Great efx though and I loved the Prometheus ship.

[@trevort8294]

+Paul Fogarty the director said it was a prequel... but good try

[@davidholder5488]

well giger was making art of tall pale figures for years. so this is part pf the alien universe giger is responsible for the looks of the creatures

[@vitocarlucci4248]

Dommage que la musique gâche la video .

[@a090006]

Nice ,what is that song???

[@PreLeisureTrax]

Played darkseed at 1am last night. Crap.

[@stonyalvarezbaraybar4920]

The name of the band and the song please!!!

[@axeman3612]

wow I didn't know the engineer was also based around gigers work.i know the space Jockey and aliens were but not the engineer without his helmet.

[@pavelns]

Hey Deacon, whats the song called?

[@ArtofLunatik]

You should of used one of the song themes from the soundtrack, would of fit better.

[@TheFlipChannel]

deserves better music... looks like 80's song... --'

[@darrbow]

i hate to tell you t his but you can see the dates on them

[@kezadrone]

4:59 Poltergeist II?

[@kezadrone]

***** Sorry. I mean 4:53 The primitive creature.

[@kezadrone]

No problem dude. It looked like the weird thing in that other movie I mentioned.

[@kezadrone]

No worries. Great stills anyway.

[@mikepeine3898]

learn FREE ENERGY ? Give the world FIRE !

[@kezadrone]

You sound like Cohagen in Total Recall. " No don't touch it, we'll all die!" Just before the planet was freed from corrupt repression. Or am I being cynical?

[@jamespalazzi7990]

I am sick and tired of watching alien covenant. When will David arrive at the planet with all of his frozen humans. Preparing them to become Alien host. It's time to get the show on the road today is November 11th 2020. Everyone needs more alien awakening.

[@ImmaDeacon]

the song chorus doesn't start until 2:00 it just has a super long intro

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

haha :D the music fits the fact perfectly that the sets and costumes of Prometheus are pretty much a travesty of Giger's designs

[@user-yt2pv7pw7d]

Prometheus and the Testament, one of the dumbest movies ever made.

[@HailAnts]

Nice pictures, but that song is awful (the intro especially!)

[@Kanovskiy]

one of the worst movies I've seen.

[@classicartfoundation639]

good art, but prometheus is crap

[@jasontodd8071]

Giger's art was screwed over by this abomination of a film!
