...you might wanna check this out.
Colonial Marines: Elite Force (http://www.planetavp.com/eliteforce/index.htm)
Its a pretty damn good AvP Fan Made CGI Movie. Currently, it seems part one is out at 24 minutes long, however good luck with it considering its a 500+ Mb download.
Apart from a few lip sync/animation issues, this is a great movie.

Modem only version @ 512x384 low quality sound - 60 meg
Low Resolution divx @ 360x240 resolution - 178 meg
Medium Resolution divx @ 512x384 resolution - 330 meg
High Resolution divx @ 768x576 resolution - 550 meg
Downloading the high res one now...
-
The modem version is 60 megs? That would take over 6 hours to download.
-
huh. managed to get the high res version in under 30 minutes :)
-
Downloading the Medium resolution one. . .
-
im trying to dl the 550 mb 1, will take 4 hours cuz mirror is slow(40-50kb)
-
Overall pretty good movie for non-professional, but Aliens were poorly animated, they seemed sluggish and tails were strange.

You can only download 10mb in an hour? An ordinary 56k can download close to 20mb in that time. Mine can. :nervous:

ok finished & and watched. was nice overall, the end is a bit confusing. the alien look like dolls, when they die there is a cheap effect, and no acid come from thier body,also they look kinda small compare to the original alien+they move 2 slow.
for the humans , thier modles are excellent though the men look very simlar to woman(the sergant look like a man though...).
predators are cool , the only thing that i think (for now) is trully perfect.
overall... well done movie... 8/10 for this chapter... it was kinda slow for the "first" 20 minutes, and in the last 5 minute it was 2 fast.

I can't download it! When I click on Medium quality, it directs me to an empty page.
-
Well download low or high quality one then?
-
Genius.

Elite Force meets with DG's approval

About 15MB would be average, with 24.6MB being the theoretical maximum.

Well, I was exagerating a little bit. It was late so I threw out a random number. It still will take a long time to download.
-
Speaking of which, AvP hasn't come out yet in Aus.
Is it any good?
Me and some mates were already planning to go see it when its released before heading back and knocking back a few drinks.
Hope its worth going to see though... I always liked Pred, and Alien movies hehe.
With the new movie I also wonder if they will make a remake of the old PC game. It was alright in its time, but the graphics kinda suck compared to todays standards.
Like someone mentioned in another thread, AvP in the Doom3 engine would be quite a scare I'd imagine... :D

I thought it was pretty damn good. :nod:
-
I am not quite satisfied with this one. The Aliens had green acid and the Predators got too little part. The humans were talking too quiet, compared to the ambient and alien voices.
-
yep, what annoyed me is the cheap acid effect, i mean they guy shot him from 1/8 meter the alien explode but no acid came to the human atall... bummer.
plus 1 human acctually kicked alien, i mean wtf?! how can it be? he is 3 meter tall(in the movier though he is shorter than a human),he is much stronger + quicker, and the guy kicked him and killed him.
-
The effect itself was not so bad, only its color.
-
Pretty nice :)
-
I am starting the biggest download in my life. I am downloading the 560 Megabyte avi, just to see this in High resolution.

Admittedly, the lack of acid effect (and color) was a bit cheesy. Keep in mind, this isn't professional work, done by a team of experts. Its 2 or 3 guys (not including voice actors), working on their spare time. Theres going to be errors. As for the Karate kick, dont really matter how strong and quick you are, if you get hit with a spinning kick like that, your probably gonna go flying. It didn't necessarily kill im, anyway, just stunned. The guy pumped it full of pistol round when it hit the ground, too. Aliens arent even that big, just 7 feet or so standing up, IIRC.
I expect the preds will get more screentime in part 2. The clips of their ship flying across the jungle were pretty sweet, though. :)
-
The animation work is pretty good considering. Some of the hallway scenes made me think 'Doom 3' though ;)
I suppose my main gripe was the fact that the aliens moved like a granny on a zimmer frame, but then animating that kind of motion is extremely difficult :(
All in all, I thought it was an excellent piece of home grown work :)
-
exactly the whole movie i was like "dam this reminds me of doom3 graphic+effects".
true the guy stunned him, but what the hell? im sorry but WTF?
HOW HOW HOW CAN IT BE? drone nature is to kill human in melee, no way a human can beat an alien in a kick.
-
drone nature is to kill human in melee,
That's not entirely true. They will do what they have to in order to remove a threat, but will avoid killing you if they can. They need you to be a host for more drones.
-
Well, according to Alien 3, a pretty muscly bloke can physically hold back a drone once it's lost it's momentum, even for a short period of time, so I would suspect the drones rely far more on speed at bringing those razor sharp weapons to bare than on 'Steamrolling' their oppoent, it's not as if they actually have 'that' much more mass than a well built human. A sharp enough blow to the head might be enough to stun the creature and send it staggering. He then proceeds to finish it off with a pistol :)
-
Remember that the Alien in Alien 3 was not the Alien we saw in this movie and in the other Alien films. The Alien 3 creature was 'hosted' by a dog.
If I used the 'to host' verb incorrectly, please do not put this into a siggy. Thanks :)
-
alien 3 creature called "runner".
alot faster weaker, shorter.
basiclly all it do is to crawl on walls really fast and to find prayes with his super senses. while drone is smarter,stronger. no way u can kick drone.
-
You can kick a drone, the question is if it will die or faint. :D
