[Psyche]

Alright, a few might know me since long ago when i used to make alot of avp fanfilms, among those are AvP: Deadly Species 1&2, AvP: Nightfall among others. since then however i have now been studying Animation for awhile and are making an exam film, so i have moved from avp figure stop motion into actual stop motion animation. (this doessnt mean i'd never do fanfilms again, i might still do).

simply put, i'd like to share this film with all of you!.



Psyche
this is a stop-motion Anime set on a starship. the main character Ayako wakes up and can't remember her identity or what's happened. she have to seek out the command bridge to find out, as well as fighting for survival and face a horrible truth on the way there.


Release Date: june 2011
lenght: about 9 mins
genre: Sci-fi,mystery (slightly)
Animation type: Stop Motion
Trailer release: during April 2011

short project information:
this is a stop-motion film. it's made in manga-style (mostly applies to human characters). i wanted to create something with nice visual appeal, hence some nice effects and atmospheres. its a little bit of mind f**k mixed with nice sci fi. the film is slightly inspired by Alien indeed, aswell as some other things, but also original.

some pre-production shots of WIP stuff and art

concept art of Ayako, a battlesuit and the Voidfiend creature.




WIP shots of the Ayako doll. made from wire armature, foam, cloth, latex and sculpting putty




Finished Ayako doll, posed on the set!


WIP shots of the battlesuit. also wire armature, foam. and covered in cardboard plates and other bits



WIP of one of the rooms from the film


i never got any WIPs of the voidfiend, sorry

all the dolls are fully poseable, have bolts inserted in their feet so i can screw them onto holes in the set floor to keep them steady. Voidfiend features light up glowing heart. ayako features exchangeable eyes for blinking and different expressions.


And here is a few promo screens from the actual film that might get ya all intrested!







And last, a promo screenshot from my secondary project, which is a 2D animated Anime that might reach 8 mins.


Divinity Crusade
In a magical universe reaching across the heavens lies many realms. Among one of the greatest are the Kingdom of Kylon. The kylonian kingdom have since long been under siege by the Ushakti, cruel beasts that care nothing for peace. After finding a whole village slaughtered, there is proof that a Ushakti scout have breached the Kylonian blockades and entered the home planets surface. Knight Misaki is sent to hunt down and slay the beast. this is a short anime about Misaki's task and the beginning of the final siege, set in a Fantasy universe mixed with sci-fi elements.

Genre: Fantasy, Adventure
animation Type: 2D
Trailer Release: June 2011




i really hope you all enjoyed this, i will come with more updates closer to the release!

that's cool. and sorry if this post was a unessecery double of the old post (couldn't find it on first page though.

ok, just saw the film (had release here this friday). i enkoyed it alot. but i couldn't help noticing that the creature that chased that guy (can't rem his name), that was shot by noland (fishbourne). wasn't it VERY similar to the original predator design, that more organic/insectoid design that was originally used for P1 but was changed into the pred we all know today. so i'm just thinkin this might be a cameo appearance too/new usage of that design as "another creature"?

opinions?

sadly the shots are not taken in front of greenscreen. its shot the same scene twice, with and without the pred, on top of the background required for the scene. the guy who was to edit this knew how to do it. and sadly, i can't re-shot this now. i have to use what i got

alright, many of you remember my film predator Newblood. filmed over a year ago and delayed again and again. well, its like this:

first of, everyone wants it done, or well, those still remembering it

secondly, i need my most recent work finished for showing up when im gonna try enter schools to work with film, to finally fullfill my dreams


so what do i need help with? the whole delay reason was Cloaking. im not aware how to do it and time is too short for me to learn it and get good enough. i can edit plasma myself, and visions if i must. but cloaking, no. basicly, the other guy who was to help me got too busy, and are hard to reach.

so im looking for anyone with the knowledge of editing cloaking to a live-acting film. a good idea is to show me a sample of your work.

you will of course get credit in the film credits and on the site.

anyone interested reply to this thread, i also need you to add my msn for contact and instructions on each clip stoppable750@hotmail.com




i hope to get some interest

doh. I feel dumb now. Well I still don't like them. NECA should have at least attached them somewhere different, because where they are, they really restrict hand poseability. I feel like I'm going to break them any time I move anything.

well, to be honest i didnt notice myself until i finaly had my mcfarlane figs and noticed that things, then i made a research by watching Aliens, and saw it in this scene. could also be so that different suits had them and some suits didnt. alien types? drone/warrior?. anyhow. i agree they are in the way, they removed the mcf versions elbow joint altogheter!. but i guess neca chosed to place them correct rather than wrong just because of arm movement

right. had a nice Burst-day (birthday ) and got myself the Predalien, aswell as another warrior!. so a very good day for me!

This review is the predalien, my warrior review can be found here: http://www.alienexperience.com/forum/index.php/topic,6048.0.html

onto the review


Packaging 3/5
the package are nothing special, regular clamshell. but it has nice pics on it and clearly shows the fig. quite tempting design overall. it was easier to cut up than mcfarlanes figs though, and had softer twisty ties, no problem to open it!



Sculpt 5/5
im not 100% sure on the Predalien design yet, obviously because ive seen the older alien films plenty of more times than avpR. and have seen suit pics of the originals much more. but from what i can see the sculpt really captures it's feel from the film. no flaws as far as i can see the lack of joints makes the sculpt barely suffering from them.


Paintwork 4/5
as far as ive seen in the movie, the paintjobs are accurate. a nice mix of predator skin areas and alien metallic greys, a nice colour scheme and very lookalike. it also have a clear dome at the forehead thats nicely added without any problem, compared to some of the original aliens dome which have seam problems at the back of the head.


Articulation 2/5
out of all the things, this is where the figure fails. it have only a few joints, but looking at the sculpt it could have had more joints such as torso at least. so its stuck at one torso pose. the head though is nicely jointed and features openable mouth!. and the arm articulation works good as it is. and of course, it have the mandatory bendable tail


Accessories 0/5
this part is what this figure lacks, great in most aspects except this. how hard is it to put a burster or facehugger in the package?. it came with a nice base however.


Value
i got this figure for birthday so i don't had to pay anything, but from what ive seen on the pricing, its a well worth figure.


Overall 4/5
a very nice movie-accurate figure and i reccomend it to any fan of AvP (who likes the design anyway). very nice figure, a great add to your collection!.


i hope you enjoyed the review and all the pics!. and i hope to get my hands on the Aliens Warrior later, aswell as 7" Alien!

but the figure has an odd...thing coming out of both elbow spikes and attaching itself to the bottom of the hand. Its not a miscast or anything, but its definitely not anything that was in the movie.

if you are talking about the same detail im thinking of (that also was on the mcfarlane version). it was in the film, it actually where. you can clearly see it on the scene where the alien rises from the water behind newt.

proof:

its a figure,the body and dreads can never get 100% realistic.but i think neca do a good job as it is

personaly i think this one looks better than the open mouth version. im yet to but the masked though. and i think its like most figs, they vary a bit through versions and stuff. paintjobs vary a slight bit between every fig in general

the day is over and i got another fig, Unmasked wolf, and i must say i am very pleased, so here i go share it with ya all!

Sculpt 5/5
im am not 100% sure on wolf from the film myself, just havnt focused too much. but from what i can see this figure is perfect!, i can without doubt say that its my very fave in my whole collection. great sculpt and the articulation don't ruin the sculpt either. my only flaw i can see is the seam between the front and rear part of the head, but thats almost only notable on the pics with camera flash. the dreads are made of nice soft rubber too, it dont interfere with the head movement!, nice go neca!


Paintwork 5/5
the paintjob are great, especially the skin. i just love how it looks, so i don't have any complaints really. except that like most pred figs, the green blood don't glow, but thats impossible anyway!


Articulation 3/5
the articulation on this figure is good, but more limited compared to the alien warrior, but not bad, not at all. the lack of torso and elbow movement are probably the most notable lacking point. otherwise its all good


Accessories 4/5
this figure comes with quite some accessories, such as the dual plasma cannons, which can be held as a "plasma pistol" in his hand aswell. also theres a energy pack that can be put on, and a shuriken. aswell as alterate hand. my fave part however is the Whip, i just love that part of the film and as such will display him with it!. the fig lacks a base though, altough it do not suffer from it in any way


Value
i got this figure for christmas so i don't had to pay anything, but from what ive seen on the pricing, its a well worth figure.


Overall 4/5
a very nice movie-accurate figure and i reccomend it to any fan of AvP (who likes the wolf design anyway). its without doubt my fave pred fig in my collection so far!. the only one that could beat it is if i love the masked version more 


i hope you enjoyed the review and all the pics!. i will review Predalien and Masked Wolf as soon as i get to order them! (in january hopefully)

Mmmm... facehugger shaped cookies! 

Nothin' says Christmas like a hugger cookie in an alien cookie jar!  Bring it on!

is it really hugger cookies in it?

It's amazing how they time and time again do the wrong design for the alien. They don't have chickenlegs in the frickin' movie! 

indeed. if they where A:R figs, they would have been correct. but they are not, they are avp, so i agree the legs are totally wrong

right, a nice christmas eve morning and one fresh alien to my collection!. and there might be more to come so, there might be more reviews!

so, here is the Warrior Alien from neca's AvP R series


Pics:








compared to mcfarlane battle alien. i think neca did a awesome job!

Sculpt 5/5
from what i have seen in the avpR movie, this sculpt are very lookalike, a great job all over. if they could make a avp warrior from this sculpt, with a smooth head dome, it would be nice aswell!. the sculpt also don't suffer from all the joints. the mouth inside are very detailed aswell. nothing bad to say really.


Paintwork 5/5
the paintjob are great, it have a dark grey and metallic look, makes it fit well with my Alien fig's aswell with the avp figs. the paintjob are well done, even inside the mouth, and the webbing "cheeks" are clear plastic, which makes a nice effect


Articulation 5/5
the articulation on this figure is great, articulated arm joints, elbows, knees, legs, neck and even openable mouth. altough it cant be opened too far, and not closed fully. but a nice add nonetheless. great poseability in this figure


Accessories 0/5
this part is what this figure lacks, so great on all aspects except this. how hard is it to put a burster or facehugger in the package?. it came with a nice base however.
