Does anyone know who, or what the composition is called, for the audio track that accompanies this video from the 2:15 timestamp to the 4:22 timestamp?
It is primarily a sythesizer track, and I was curious as to who composed it or if there is a name for it.
@trollcrusher242 I should know this because I added the tracks to the clips... but I no longer has this video in my files, so I can't remember which soundtrack numbers I added. Also, at 3:54 it ends and a new track begins: it sounds to me like it is track 3 from OST: New's horror.
@trollcrusher242 you're welcome. The sounds I used on my alien videos were from Alien 1 and Alien 2 movie soundtracks. I remember that much (: take care
I agree with some of you about CGI V.S. puppets, however...
When you use a physical puppet, you have to use strings, poles and wires etc. that will be visible in the movie no matter how much you try to hide them.
Look at the aliens tail as it rises from the water to snatch Newt.
Look at the aliens back as it's heading to Ripley right after she
@4cellar2door0 what are you talking about I saw the movie recently and I didnt see any wires and strings. You put the footage in a computer and edit it to remove that stuff from the scenes.
I agree with the comparison of CGI and animatronics. The Queen Alien had a tangible presence that CGI hasn't really ever duplicated. I think it's the best monster design ever.
@Kujapirate342 There are many ticks that make it differ from the theoretical real thing. But honestly, I've never had more or less problems watching shitty cgi as I've had watching shitty miniatyres and puppets. (I can't even laugh anymore when I see a miniature moving with lesser framerate, or exploding into styrofoam)
+You have to consider that the overall quality of cinematography has gotten worse. Bad, unthought lightning, hyperactive editing and color correction is way too usual.
Great insider views! I would guess that not many people realize the amount of design and test work that goes into each short scene in a major movie. Thanks for the show :-)
The work that USED to go into movies like this. Nowadays people rely on computer graphics. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but there's no hard work going into animatronic pieces like this anymore.
And I'm not trying to imply people don't work hard on computer graphics either, but you don't have to think as creatively as these guys.
Yeah, back then it was very limited. Have to use those props to make it look realistic. Some directors today still doing that with mix of little bit cg. Directors need some 3D for impossible things.
Ahhh, the nostalgia..I still remember seeing the first Alien-Movie in my teens, and i was scared shitless ;) Camerons film is a masterpiece of suspense, guns-blazing action AND featured interesting characters. The following Alien/AvP movies could never again reach this level.
IMHO it's not about CGI or modelling, it's about the story and believable and interesting characters...
Most all films today are just whiz bang effects (*cough Star Trek cough*). Who needs a good script, compelling characters and competent acting when you can just bombard people with flash? Fun while it lasts but utterly forgettable once out of the theatre. NOT like Aliens.
I really wish I could've seen Aliens in its theatrical release. We're probably never going to see such a great movie again.
CGI has ruined the Sci-Fi genre. It should complement the story, not the other way around.
I didn't see Aliens in its theatrical release for an obvious reason. But I watch it at least once a year, every year and I love it everytime! I don't love a movie as much as I love this one. Aliens has everything that a good movie should have and it's too bad that it's not recognized by many people.
Yeah I mean I loved Tom and Alec's work (they were the only ones I gave any credit to in Ressurection and Requiem besides Weaver of course) and CGI can come out good, but I think there was something far better about the Alien queen without it. The way she moves is slower, but it's more horrifying and suspensful and calls for more work. Well it's all fun stuff. But the Aliens looked amazing in this movie.
I watched this film on the late show in the early nineties, and as well as many people has commented i was so scared that i had to change over the channel all the time, what´s more, i don´t remember to have seen the whole film that time. I guess this left a heavy mark in my mind in a positive way, n´ today i still like this movie( cult film, indeed for me!!!)
Aliens is best seen in Directors Cut. With all that extra dialogue, you feel like you're inside the movie, like one of the gang or something... it's hard to explain, you have to see it to understand!
Aliens SE was the first I saw of the series when I was a kid.....haunted me since then. Top film!!!! As for Alien that's a whole other story...amazing!!!!
All I remember is when I first saw the film, I was like "omgmgmgmg this is awesome" I think "Alien" was scary! Today, it is still a great thriller! "Aliens" was exciting to me. But after seeing the movies so many times, I started to notice their techniques and visual effects. This is what still makes me admire these films to this day!
ive made tht question too and i know the answer. the people in alliens 1 on tht planet found a ship. perhaps either the humans in made the alliens or the aliens existed in other planets produced by something else
The queen is from the facehugger that attached itself to Newt's father. All xenomorph's have the ability to create eggs, and molt into queens. It just takes much longer.

Thank you so very much for the soundtrack info.

shoots the alien egg about to attack Newt.
