I've never jumped to open a new TH-cam tab quicker than when I saw this pop up. Incredible work!
I drop everything I'm doing and instantly watch your videos when I see they've dropped.
Amazing job all over the place. Also the opportunity to speak to legendary crew member is stunning. Keep up the great work!!
JP is a bloody marvel, turning his hand, and his Puma hat, to absolutely anything. Proud Patreon supporter, a genuine investment because I learn so much with every InCamera episode. Even though a good part of my day is spent in post doing VFX, I love practical Special FX and wish there was more of it. In the hands of prod it has a quality CG just can't match.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and your support. We love doing this stuff, and love sharing our knowledge and the knowledge of those great creators who came before us. Gotta keep it alive x
More brilliant tips and tricks, looking forward to the Dennis Lowe interview too
The fastest passing 20 minutes on youtube! I can´t wait for episode 3!
Haha, we keep it snappy!
That Patreon bit was great. When I was little and my mum was watching Alien in the living room, I peeked around the corner for the scene where the android was ripped apart, and I distinctly remember thinking, "Why is he filled with milk??" Years later I find out that it was actually milk, and spoiled!
Mmm...the Udl Cheyenne drop ship next level! And crashing!❤
Very good paintjob, well done! The scale modelling community would salute you.
I am loving this series, just fantastic!!!
Amazing work, JP! "Mad Skills," indeed!
Really nice to hear Dennis on this, he has a great website, alien makers but hasn't updated it for some time. I was lucky enough to have a conversation with him via email several years ago, he even sent me some scans of the slides used to project the alien planet surface used in the movie. Lovely chap!
Im so happy you guys are back releasong videos. The clip looks amazing. The model is awesome. It is all so good. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Thank you! It's great to be back :)
My friends brother in law helped work on the Nostromo model on Alien, apparently when they had finished they had no grey primer and used yellow instead, Riddley Scott thought it looked great.
Correct...there was a time when the Nostromo was painted yellow (Halfords signal yellow paint - I believe), Then Ridley changed his mind back again to having it painted grey. The final paint used on the Nostromo was zinc plate primer - darker than regular grey primer that could be polished to make look more like metal. JP
Love it! Been looking to upgrade from one of those dinky airbrushes, I feel inspired to do so now
I want one of those ships. :( absolutely beautiful work. You recreated the look and feel perfectly.
Amazing job. I wasn't convinced the rocks would look good using expanding foam, but you proved me wrong 😅 IT all looks amazing, can't wait for the next part
This is awesome! I'm definitely subscribed!
Men you guys are Genius!
Honestly so happy to see the videos back again, keep it up guys, loving it ❤
Ha ha, I'm reflexively blowing smoke away when you're burning the foam!
This looks killer! Great work!
Thank you guys for this great and detail video/build of the Derelict Ship! If I had the space I'd build one for myself. lol
As to 'colour cast', I was amazed to see that the original Enterprise model from Star Trek (in the Smithsonian Museum) has a green tinge to it in reality, yet looked grey in film.
I loved the Ash insert :D
That has to be the single highest quality like/subscribe/Patreon plug on TH-cam.
Oh man, that "like and subscribe" android scene is sooo good XD
Imo . The Giger ,Peter Voyesey and Roger Dicken work on the Alien forms are on a different level than any of the following sequels... It's like everyone else just ,"missed" something . It has been that way ever since.
THANK YOU GUYS!!!
Incredible, just incredible.
This is absolutely amazing project and video. The model looks great and that interview and original model footage is priceless. Can’t wait for more 👍🏻👍🏻
This channel posts are kind of sporatic but when they post, it is always something really cool. I would love to see them demonstrate forced perspective like what was used in Lord of the Rings. I know other channels have done it but these folks just have this way of explaining things that makes sense to me. I hope they come back soon.
Best channel on YT thanks guys, glad you're back.
Very pretty! well done!
Neat.. this reminded me that I have an airbrush in a closet that I bought in the early 90s that might be worth something.
This is incredible
I love what you guys do!
Great video! the 'mostly' comment had me laughing out loud
love this series❤
Incredible stuff 👍👌
We making it out of LV-426 with this one bois! - The quality of this production is so high! You guys are definitely going Viral with this one. Respect.
This was awesome ! I'm very jealous of you're line of work! I recently toured the juggernaut in 'Aliens Fire Team Elite'... Its actually not too bad (this is a blatant plug also)🤣🙏
Brilliant
Good choice using iwata airbrushes, I wouldnt use any other.
Relaxin vid.
I was waiting for this!
So stoked you came out with part 2!
Im a huge fan of Iwata and have a few of their airbrushes, and as far as the compressor I have one with a little tank so I can have a nice constant spray.
I wanted to ask, I finished printing the ship, but I printed the top window in clear resin and the 3 little windows in clear.
Watching this video I see that they are not actual windows, but tear ducts that a person can crawl into? Maybe a light source comes from them as well?
Anyway I saw that you painted over all the windows, are you not using any lights?
Great video Im looking forward to the next!
Many thanks!....yes, I printed the top dome and tear ducts in clear resin, then masked window shapes and the inner flat centre recess of the tear ducts with liquid latex. I did not have time to show the latex masking being removed, and the light effect to be seen (but it is there). For LED's, I simply wired 3x2mm warm white for the ducts, and a tiny SMD LED for the main dome/ pilot chamber. I think the tear shaped openings are somewhat linked to the main pilot chamber above...so it makes sense to have them lit when the top pilot chamber is 'activated'.
Well done. very nice.
amazing
Im only subscribing because ash told me too - that was a real good effort
All hail me
Long live me!
Super super ❤!!!!!
우와!!! 놀랍다🙊🙈🙉
I have a love hate relationship with airbrushing. I love the fine detail you can do and you can mix all the colours the way you want. But sooner or later you need to clean it and thats the tedious time consuming part. So usually I just use rattle cans and brushes.
I love this handcrafted model making, I would love if this stuff returned to the world of cinema again, instead of relying on CGI so much. :(
It has never gone or left, I am a VFX Supervisor/FX designer and Director, you will be amazed at how much practical there is.
I knew there was a reason to subscribe.
Damn that patreon segment was too good
As cool as this is, that's the juggernaut from Prometheus. The Space Jockey vessel from 1979 is more wishbone shaped, but its sweet nonetheless.
Yes indeed, that is why we mention that fact both in this episode and the previous one. Stay tuned for episode 3 - to find out why :)
👍💯
i like how spray painted burnt expanding foam kinda looks like roasted chicken
Супер канал. Я удивлен что сгнивший ютуб не предлодил мне этот канал раньше. Ютуб уже несколько лет очень криво работает. Лайк.
'Wanky IPA' 🤣🤣
where can i see ur film shorts?
You didn't get the white slime quite right, just a little bit too much water.
Does anyone know how the “Ash” voice was re-created?
Where did you get the Alien spaceship from?
Have you done the ships from Close Encounters? Some pretty neat practical VFX there.

Top tip: When airbrushing with stencils, wear gloves.
Top tip: gloves with paint on them, don't allow your camera touchscreen to be controlled when re-adjusting your camera - so you end up getting very frustrated and take your gloves off! But yes, I should have worn gloves throughout :) JP
top tip, snip the end of your little finger off, it never used for anything and will allow the touch screen capacitance to work. @@InCameraTV
@@Rockhopper1I'll be posting "Top tip: snip the end of your little finger off" in random places from now on
I meant on the glove not your actual finger, though a ET episode with Ouch would be cool.@@user-zp4ge3yp2o
@@InCameraTV So you didn't get someone in to do camera for you?
;o)
Nice job all the same for a beginner.
Intrestin', innit?
You take something meant to be alan, to look and feel completely alanny, and yet to scale it, we imply it's been manufactured out of rectangular pieces of metal. We show itsy bitsy cables and pipes, access grills and hatches. The overall shape might be whacky, but we have to show it's been built how we would build it, otherwise, we can't zork out the size.
Just one of the many flavours that show, no matter what, all our stories are about us, because that's what stories are for. Alan has a weird head, and a tail, and is, of course, REALLY mean, but at its heart, the movie is about how one deals with an unwelcome hitch-hiker - teamwork, trouble-shooting, and blowing the git out an airlock.
Plus, it's never going to matter which planet one grew up on; the triangle is still the strongest shape, the circular pipe is still the most efficient way of moving fluids, maximum internal volume will always result in using sheets and aerodynamics are going to be the same wherever you go, so, yeah, there's never going to be wholly alan tech.
Just an observation.
But also, ever noticed the ship is parked with a distinct angle and yet the pilot is in a room with a flat floor? Suggests that slightly up angle is the actual intended orientation of the ship - in turn meaning they probably intentionally parked there - it hasn't crashed.
Or that there was only so much budget and building the pilot chamber with a canted floor would have been WAY too expensive, there's that.
And now, for some reason, possibly that it's 03.25 and I don't like having woken up this early, my brain just told me to imagine what would have happened if the Alans had encountered the monolith, and the mental image of one going through the stargate is crackin'.
