I could listen to the industry people talk all day long. So glad Tested is giving a voice to professions and artists that usually lives in the shadow. The deserve appreciation!

Lesley is such a nice woman, great interview!

She did a great job, the makeup and effects were fantastic.

Love behind the scenes talks with the artists. Thank you Adam and crew for doing these.

I loved this movie. it was epic to see all the behind the scenes stuff you guys are doing on this movie

I love these videos! So cool to see all that goes into making a movie.

A lot of people are complaining so much about the film but honestly just have fun with it. It may not be the best movie but it was still interesting and enjoyable at times

Great movie!! Some issues, yes, but tremendously pleasing overall.

I respect this movie a lot more than a lot of critics and fans purely based on the way it's produced and made. Stuff like this make me enjoy the product more than just seeing the movie. Thank you Tested for allowing me to love this movie a lot more because of these videos.

Tested is great! Adam Savage youre a hero to me and all friendly cosplayer's around the globe. Saludos desde Ecuador.

this is great! more!

As much as I like Adams Makers tour or movie set tour, I still realy miss when he used to do thing in is shop. This was realy informative and inspired me to become a maker myself.

Listening to someone who's a master of their craft is always so fascinating, something so "simple" that we don't even think about has had hours of thought put into it.

awesome lady. love these types of videos.

Adam is a great interviewer

Awesome!

I really liked this movie. Great effects and atmosphere

Loved the film. Although it was kinda predictable and didn't really take the Prometheus storyline in any direction, I actually had a blast in theaters watching this. Would have been way better if this was Shaws and David's storyline where they run into the engineers and xenomorphs at the same time.

I'm such a nerd I found some of the patches from the film and I'm making my own crew jacket so to speak.

I'm flabbergasted that people are hating on Covenant, I actually loved it. It felt so similar to the first time I watched Alien and Aliens. As a person who loves violent and gory movies, I gotta say the way the violence and gore was portrayed in covenant was brilliant. The way the blood was splattered in a clean white room and the baby nomorph's and xenomorph's translucent skins created a deep contrast that made me shiver, and I never shiver at the sight of blood or guts! This movie was awesome.

That movie was awesome! I really don't get whats not to like. Always comparing things will get you nowhere. Prometheus was awesomeness too and Yes, Covenant follows directly after Prometheus.

Fassbender was quite gaunt in Prometheus but in Covenant he's much more solid, probably from having to beef up for Assassin's Creed. So I found it interesting that David and Walter's faces looked different from each other, it's amazing how much of a difference make-up can make. It's only after David styled himself after Walter that the illusion was shattered.

Now I wish I had went and watch this movie in the theater. Could a gave it a little bit more support.

Shows you just how much Cameron knew his shit and how to make something wild and entertaining, not just dread, pain, misery, and a downbeat ending. Gallons of blood does not a summer fest make.Caught Wonder Woman today. What a first class production. Didn't even need the old effects style fight at the end. (usual electric charges shooting off the fingers, etc).That stuff goes all the way back to The Raven, with Karloff, Price, and Lorre. But otherwise, a knockout.

We need more one day builds

I,m pretty sure he is getting prettier interviews rather than the official making of

Y'all got pretty close to Ridley, did you get to interview him?

And I was talking to Ridley and I said "Hey why is everyone walking around on an uncharted alien planet without protective clothing and helmets and stuff?, Isn't that going to be really stupid and could this film bomb at the box office for being so cliche?"

Atmospheric readings suggested the air is safe for breathing, and the chances that an alien fauna, which has spent millions of years adapting to non-human, non-terran life, is -extremely- unlikely. A fungi is only dangerous to us humans because they developed alongside us, and more importantly developed -to- us. Scientifically speaking any alien fauna wouldn't be adapted to us, so it would be harmless. (Of course they didn't know about the black goo, so I can't blame them)

I know, don't you hate it when the guardians of the galaxy crash land on that uncharted alien planet and don't worry about protective clothing and helmets and stuff? The viewer is given more information such as a microscopic view of the fungi that the characters are unaware of.

Aidache Bingo 😀 You're exactly right. It was beautiful to look at and I loved the continuation of Prometheus revealing the Alien backstory.

It was Michael's idea to make himself look like a Iggy Pop Fabio?? Ughhh not only did it look bad but it breaks David's character. He's so cleanly, meticulous, and admires Peter Otoole, Prometheus David would not let himself get like that.

i thought she was kiwi by the accent. AUSSIE PRIDE

Yeah but nobody fuckin thought about helmets right?

It's dawned on me that I love Alien Covenant the film. There are just some failings in the story and unbelievable decisions from the characters. And a few set and costume items that should have been edited out for lack of believability so severe that it distracted from the film. The cowboy hat was so stupid for example that, I hated that character, and did not appreciate the acting and character performance until I watched the second time.

Didn't even think the film was that bad.

Second third and fourth that, sorry to say the "music" during Adams interview is a terrible choice, completely unnecessary and just distracted me from what they were saying, which was riveting btw

Too bad this amount of detail and planning wasn't put into the actual story by the writers. Beautiful sets, amazing artistry, sucky ass story that is predictable and just turns away from anything the fans find interesting..like Shaw, and the Engineers. Both of them were just nuked from the script due to some writer thinking they are what made Prometheus so divisive. WRONG.

I LOVE prep for that movie and visual effects, but story just could burn in alien blood

If they want to make ths franchise great they should stop giving lead role to short haired females, katherine waterston looked soo vulnerable and frightened yet all the action scenes were performed by her character, but during fight scenes she suddenly becomes strong and badass. They should stop Ripping ripley's character over and over. sigourney weaver was the best and is still.

With all respect for the great job the set crew did, The movie sucked, for me it was the shitty story line, It was not memorable. Thinking back I can't remember if one scene was in this movie or Prometheus...And I don't have any desire to find out...If I come across this on HBO, one lonely boring night.. I'll just keep flipping, finding something better...But if I stumble upon any of the first 3 xenomorph encounters, Game on...

talk talk talk and 1 mili second of actual thing

I saw this movie in the kino, and I have to say that I loved the Aliens in this movie they looked so good and they way they were animated was amazing. But the crew of the ship was retardet, it was like the Earth government decided to save manking bye sending the stupid people away from Earth. Who thought that having a crew of married couples was a good idea? Every bad thing that happened in this movie was cause of stupid decisions made bye stupid people.

So when you watch horror films you get angry because you yell at the screen to "not go through that door" or "Noo, don't drink from that cup". The characters often don't have the same information that is presented to the viewer. Do you get angry when the guardians of the galaxy don't wear gas masks when visiting a new planet?

Too bad it was a awful film

Too bad the movie was total ASS! Way to many WTF moments, like lets explore an undiscovered planet without a space suit on or at least a helmet! The scene where David is teaching Walter to play the recorder is beyond cringeworthy. I burst out laughing when he whispered "Ill do the fingering" into his ear. The chest burster comes out fully formed with long legs and arms then start mimicking Davids hand movements like a puppet. WHAT!

Even if you scan the atmosphere and determine the air is safe you still have no idea about the plant or animal life and you would never send an team of explorers out without protective gear. The "ill do the fingering" was not meant to be funny, it was meant to be sensual. Your wrong about chest burster being a Protomorph. The Protomorphs were the first Aliens in the movie that came from inhaling spores. The chest burster came from the face hugger that came from the eggs David somehow obtained even though there was no Queen. It becomes the first Xnenomorph. The mimicking is just cheesy. No other alien in the history of the franchise has done that.

Not to sound cliche. But seriously this movie went over most people's heads. For those mentioning plot holes or character development... This film has no plot holes.

This is basically what most people who watched the video latched onto because it's more entertaining to hate something than to have an opinion. In the Spoilers video, around one out of every 10 points were (kinda) valid and the rest were answered in the films, or were stupid nitpicking points that with any slight logic could be answered.

Pity that the movie makes no god damn sense

LOL all this work and toil and the movie was awful. Horrible hodgepodge of prometheus and Alien shoehorned together. Perfect example of how all this art and film making takes a backseat to a good story and solid characters. You can have all the effects and well shot scenes in the world, but without a solid story and characters it's a waste...
