That was AMAZING!!!! WOW!!!! Great work!!! Thanks for making this! I wish you had been the director / producer for AVP 2 (I liked the first one! but the second one was crzap)

Thanks!!

Fabulous work , you really should direct the next episode xD

Great Job ! You should make the next movie with Ridely Scott. Great Stuff !

That was amazing.... when the predator kicks the alien your "bullet time" was perfect. infact after seeing that I firmly believe you should be working with the alien/predator films.... that kindof effect could have made the avp movies soo much better... I feel that your efforts could help bring this series back from the semi death thats been happening. I hope you get noticed for you creativity and imagination and of course the time you put into this... again congrats

thanks a lot guys, i really hope they will decide to reboot the AVP franchise, with a new look and feel, before it gets too far. :)

Incredible! Great work!

Alex you did brilliant work! With such a limited budget you were able to create excellent movie! I wish you had a budget that Strauses Bro had! Good job, well done dude! Truly impressed!

Loved it!!

this video was awesome. ever think of doing a fan movie for warhammer 40k? would be great :P

Awesome movie! Watched it again!

I just posted this link to a forum where Simon Deering, Jon Sorensen, and Dennis Lowe read and share.

They were all SFX artists on the movie Alien.

Теперь надо, чтобы это видео увидели 20 Century Fox. По любасу, надо должны дать снимать следующий проект))

Nice usage of the HL2 sounds and Doom3 textures! :)

Nice vision, this rulled.

Great job, love the effects
my only problem was the bit with the two predators went on for a bit long without action or dialogue. possible remedy for that could of have been subtitles for what they were saying but other than that AMAZING :)

Excellent job!

best moment - appearing of mother-alien. Nice (and huge) job!

Cool! Beats the living crap out of the current AvP franchise. And to think it was done on mere $500!

Very good for a one man show! Your video appeared throughout the blogosphere...

thanks guys, yeah most of the money went in to a props and costumes, i wish i had a better predator costume, i had to make this one out of card board and duck tape :)

Amazing job!!!! thats actually very well done, the acting at the beginning is pretty good too.

Awesome job again!!!!

It is really excellent work!

It is very glad that the film has been finished.
After closing of a site I thought this fan-project has been also stopped.

Your surname leads to the assumption that you from Russia. Tell, can you make Russian subtitles for a film?

Sweet film, man!!!! Thanks for keeping the Alien&Predator spirit alive and sharing your love with us, yo!

Great stuff, nice 3D work. And that front kick (Bas Rutten style!) was something I've always dreamed of seeing here, and it shows approximately at 13:37. The number 1337 being nerdspeak for "leet", or elite, I wonder if it was on purpose? If so, you are one major geek! ;) (sci-fi fan movie non-withstanding) Keep 'em coming!

Awesome video, I also liked the used of the pressure plate or clutchplate or whatever it was for the predator shield.

This is amazing. Major props to you pal.

Dude !
It's You who should make a full movie Alien vs Predator. It would be FAR more interesting and groundshaking than that crap from Paul Anderson.
From now on You are personal Jesus :D

total appreciation for your work, good job!

Amazing! AvP should have been this way. Great work! (sorry for my ugly english, Google helped me :D).

Amazing and awesome! :)
One thing is sure: you didn't waste those two years. ;)
But it's quite sad for me to be honest: I always liked Predators as opposed to stupid Aliens and even more stupid people. :P So endscene was truly touching. o.O

(sorry for my ugly english too - even Google didn't help me xD )

excellent!

Great work...!
its full of perfection... a very great work... i dont do something like this in 10 years... :D

Really amazing work.

Bravo! Awesome film, definitely better than the crap AVP the hollywood studios made & released...

Excellent job with this!

thank you so much for an incredible video

thanks guys, very enjoying every comment, thats the best reward for me :)

Good movie btw it was a good watch.

I am so incredibly impressed with your work on this -- you understand that the real reason people want to watch AvP is to watch Aliens and Predators interact, rather than to put a bunch of disposable human characters onscreen for the majority of the time ;)

Best wishes, and thank you for sharing this with us! :D

Wow Alex, congratulations! You clearly have a better understanding of the franchise fans than Fox. Your clever imagination and hard work heap shame onto the dumb expensive "ideas" of Paul Anderson / Shane Salerno, both of whom owe us an apology and refunds. Best wishes for whatever tasks you aspire to next!

Outstanding Man!!! My Compliments...

Alex, It's Fans like you who Keep the universe Alive. It took Jim Thomas and Stan Winston *with a nudge from James Cameron* To create the Predator, Dan'O'Bannon,Ron Shusett and HR Giger to Create The Alien, And the Good Folks at Dark Horse Comics to Put them together for the Original Aliens Vs Predator.

But my Hat is off to you Sir. You managed to Distill what was great about the comics and core films, and make an Enjoyable Fanfilm. It Puts you in the Ranks with the likes of Sandy Collera and others who made something because they wanted to make something great and make something to stuff in the face of hollywood and say: HEY GUYS! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT, THIS IS WHAT WE WANNA SEE!

Keep up the good work!

Wow man. I kinda know how it is to do everything yourself from filming to VFX (dailymotion.com/video/xd313c_star-wars-shadows-of-the-past_shortfilms) but this was mindblowing! The amount of visual effects shots was just scarry and you managed to pull it off just great! There were of course some not that great looking shots here and there (mostly because of some bad tracking and compositing) but it doensnt matter at all!

The important thing is you managed to bring that Alien atmosphere we all love so much and also - you made me like the Predator more than the human!

I wish AvP films headed the direction you did. This is so much better.

Extraordinary work. I salute you, sir :-D
- Martin Klekner

Excellent work all around! Its just some great sci-fi that youve delivered here and if TPTB would take the hint, as others have said, the interaction between the species is what we want most, not disposable characters. Just as you did here, great job, thank you!

Thanks again guys, glad you all enjoyed it.

Glad that you enjoyed my short movie too ! I'm gonna share yours with my friends !

awesome!!
I hope it in theater.

Congratulations for an excellent work. In Hollywood should be embarrassed by these two mediocre movies and serve as creative minds like yours.

Ok, so to begin: I LOVED this film. Secondly i just wanted to say that for your next installment or if you reboot this fan film for an extended version that there are a few things that need to be added, plot wise, and character wise.

Costumes, you said cardboard and duct tape?! thats some crazy work, excellent job; Moreover, in regards to character development i think your human survivor needs some backstory, and of course there needs to be a survival story with him. Perhaps there can be scenes the predator witnesses or a datapad with a video still loading. he would hit replay ro something.

Next id like to say the movie had LOTS of strong parts, but the scene with the Predator leader was borderline shaky. In line with predator theme, only location descriptions are valid, you did that, yet the silent conversation or presumed conversation between the two was dragged on for a few seconds too long. The scene could also have used more fiddling, more nodding. perhaps the king predator has a council. One member would want an alternative task dealt with while the king desired the body be destroyed (the plot). This way the MC would have more then a singular goal, it becomes dynamic.

And at times it would conflict. Again, the human scenes were great, but we needed their survival story, or his. he came as fast as he died. But given the scene options, you did excellent.

Also, i really enjoyed the surveillance camera shots. , but make them a little bit more gritty, and more often, preferably as a transition to the story of the human survivor. two parallel stories, one survival one hunter, on killer, thats the heart of AvP.

Example: the Predator would finish a scene with the aliens, the camera would pan out, and assume the suveillance POV, then transition to a dark hallway with the human survivor struggling away, preferably working towards a goal to either get off the ship or detonate it. He could have companions that die, also a AvP trademark.

These are all suggestions for future projects regarding AvP franchise. The next installment could take a stick from the AvP extinction video game where marine's would hole up in an underground complex/lab, get out and make a break for another facility, one with communications. The jungle outside on this planet would serve prime for the predator theme. also would compliment the aliens.

Another thing i loved about the marines were their vehicles. the APC from Aliens was never used again, to a sad end. id like to see its return. and used more effectively in combat situations.

when the survivors get into the second facility away from the predator for the tiem being, almost instantly a chime-in from the aliens theme, hissing through vents and being farmed by the aliens.

Oh the choices are endless as long as you keep the the lore and theme.

Closing comments: great film, i look forward to all of your future submissions, and i plan on linking this video to as many friends as i can.

Thanks alot man, great points and suggestions, Originally i had a lot more of a story mostly the marines survival story, but soon realized that 2 years work needs to come to an end :) it was dragging too long, after all it was a 1 man project. Glad you enjoyed it and yes please share it as many people as possible.
Cheers.

Is it possible to get a kind of MAKING OF?

yes, i'll edit together a little "making of " video a bit later.

please answer to my email Mr. Popov...it is important!

Wow that was fantastic! This shortfilm really entertained me and as an AvP fan i can only give you many many kudos for doing this for the fans of the franchise, keep it up and hope you decide to make more, if the time allows it. The fans will love you for this :)

As i can see you answer questions frequently here.. I recognized a few soundeffects of the game AvP2 (painsounds, plasmacaster or his distinctive purr for instance), did i hear correctly? :)

yes some of the sound fx were taken from the game, some from the movies, plus some from the other games such as HL2, i've been collecting sound for this for a while :) but im really glad people are enjoying it. ;)

Excellent Work Alex (and crew)!. Can't really believed you did it for $500, let alone in 2 years of your spare time...

Has anyone from Hollywood called you yet...?

Loved it! Awesome! Loved all the soundtracks from all the movies mixed together! Added greatly to the mood/atmosphere to the film!

Hej
Super!!!

Bravissimo!
:)

Alex Alex Alex....WOW I am at a loss for words..Ok first I can not stress to you what HUGE Aliens v Predator fans my sister and I am. Unlike the consensus on this site I actually appreciated AVP. Its AVPR that I have MAJOR issue with. At best it was Lake Placid meets outter space..an embarassment to all involved, actors/actresses included..having said that..I LOVED YOUR MOVIE..It picked up exactly where AVP left off and made sense...$500?? wow I can only imagine what you would put together with a handsome budget, have you submitted this to anyone involved with the series..I am sure once egos have been adjusted they can appreciate and more importantly use your creativity in winning back their sunburned fans..I was completly drawn into your story the action and found myself anticipating the predator's next move.. fabulous.. You have gained a loyal fan, i look forward to seeing more of your genious at work!

Privjet Drook!
I stumbled onto this video and must say I was blown away!! I LOVE the fact that you did not bore us with 45 minutes of human interaction knowing we only want to see the Aliens and Predators. Your plot was great. Didnt seem to have "filler" scenes just to pass the time. Everything flowed nicely and the action had me smiling like a litttle kid. Thank you for understanding we TRUE Alien and Predator fans want to them doing what they do best, not having Capt. Army Navy Marine come in and save the day. (not meant to dis the military) Its just that, this is not G.I Joe or A Few Good Men. ITS ALIENS AND PREDATORS!!!!!! BTW...Love the name "Redemption". It was just that. 15 minutes of redemption for 2 hours of AVPR bull cah-cah. Bravo!
(weird, thats my sister above me!!)

Lisa, Stephanie! Thanks for the comments, Very glad you enjoed AVPRD :) and its awesome to see some AVP fan-Girls. you both are awesome ;)

congratulations!!! the movie is great, you are great. keep up the good work, i wish you all the best!

Awesome, really awesome. I was completely blown away by your one-man efforts. Although there wasn't much story development, it's just plain fun to watch. The only bug that I spotted was the impalement of our hero predator (what do you call him?). How could he get that wound? If you'd like, please remove that metal as I believe the blow that the Queen Alien delivered was already strong enough to take his life. Finally, did you use Doom 3 in the production? The blast door at the start and the corridors... they are so familiar!

Dude, totally badass!!!

I am really really impressed - awesome job! Been 2 years for me working on my project as well - and still not done so I totally understand, so I'm impressed you finished yours!

Totally top stuff, amazing that you managed on such a tiny buget, costumes were great considering its cardboard and duct tape, all the best for the future and I hope you get the recognition you deserve for all your hard work, your love of the source materials shows through

Thanks guys, im currently developing my next project, its a sci-fi original idea. ;)

Вот даже ни разу не лень было зарегиться чтобы сказать АЙ, МОЛОДЦЦА!

Great video Alex!! I am a huge predator fan and also a vfx artist, and i must say you did one heck of a job.You did a great job matching you lighting with the ship and the flashing red lights. Did you use one of the actors who come to Comic Con every year dressed in a predator costume? Those guys have all the accessories and awesome detail. Also, did you find a rigged model of the alien and facehugger? At the end of the day this was the best fan video i have seen hands down.

Fox should start hiring fans to write their stuff.

AMAZING! I found this while doing a search for the upcoming ALIEN prequels. This has got to be the best fan made film I've ever seen. Loved the premise. Loved the slow-motion Predator kick to the alien! THe Alien models were fantastic. Music was perfect. Effects rivaled those of big budget studios. Congrats on such a great accomplishment!!

блин, ну классно же.. мне нра....)))

Fantastic work. Glad to have you in the U.S. making incredible films. Keep it up!

This is so unbelievable. Well done. Loved the lighting. Helps hide the duct tape too ;)
I love this but I'm glad to hear you're working on original stuff now. You've proved you can do it.
I see a lot of heartfelt reactions here. I'm glad to see you're still here acknowledging their comments.
One question: You said you found Poser models but you didn't animate them in Poser did you?

i dont want to curse or any thing but David Allen can (as Eric cartman would say) suck my balls. Predators work in groups of three, not only in the first AVP, but in the latest predators as well. Not to mention the second Predator movie with Danny Glover where a pluton of predators id shown in the last minutes. This was a wery ambitious projekt. With the backing of Hollywood it would have been great. Great Job Alex!

wow, that was pretty good, i remember seeing trailers along time ago on youtube for this and got excited about it, it turned out very well, would have been cool if you got guns that looked like pulse rifles, but all in all it was a very satisfying film i wish i there was more so i could keeps watching lol, but i think you got it spot on in your version :)

and to you other people complaining about avp1 sucking
the first one was way better and if you ever read any of the comic books you would see that yeas predators do team up with humans you idiots, and the second avp sucked cause they made it so the predalien can implant embryos into people which isn't what they are actually able to do, you people need to do some research or know a lil something about the avp franchise before you make stupid comments!


anyway, loved the film, would be awesome if you made another avp film, would totally watch it, and also there are conversion kits for thompson airsoft guns that make them look like the pulse rifles from aliens, just a lil tip i thought id let you in on
but yes, great work 10/10

joined just so i could give the creator of this film my thanks for making a good avp film

please...two suite!!!!!

Alex this was brilliant. I applaud your effort, creativity and dedication. This hasn't won any awards or anything!?

This needs some sort of recognition!

Besides the obvious and said, I can't believe you made this all with a Windows XP system! The 5-6 man team that put this together should stick together!

I would like to see more of your work, but SOONER! (And with a bigger budget. Step up to the plate producers.)

Wow!

Great Work Alex. Can't wait to see the next one.
