AVP Creating The Queen BTS 

The Alien Queen is just one design no one dares to mess with. She looked amazing in both Aliens and AVP. I hope we see her again commanding her insect-like children.

3:27 even though I know it’s an animatronic being controlled like a big puppet, that guy has some serious balls to stand this close to such a terrifying sight Call me a wuss if you want but this is game over for me man, game over

beautiful, from the sculpting, the molds and animatronic puppetiring... keep showing the world we don't need to abuse on CGI... Hope you use that queen for something awesome on the future...

I never fully appreciated the queen till now 😮 She's so beautiful.

There is so much I want to say about this. First of all, I am stunned at how much more advanced this queen appears to be. The artistry surrounding the tech is bar non. I love the battle damage and... yeah. So much I want to say, but I'm at a loss for words. It must have been an awesome time in the shop.

Wow. I didn't know the Queen was actually made with a machine! I thought it was all tacky CGI but now I'm very impressed.

GHAAADAYUMM!! Even those molds are works of art!!

Imagine yourself working on this and its nearly finished and the one night you forgot something there and you go to pick whatever it is up and you find this thing moving on its own. Worst prop gone to life scenario ever, or worst prank done by a fellow co-worker.

It's so amazing how these guys put in all this work and talent!!! Real awesome

just GREAT!

Bet ya once she puts her make up on and has a coffee, she's not so bad.

I'll take this over cgi any day.

3:26.. .sorry honey...i forgot about the milk

Remind me why Hollywood insists on using crappy CGI instead of this?

Re-creating... 'THE ROYAL BITCH'.

I absolutely love this. My sister just recently got Mortal Kombat X (I think, it's on PS4) with the Xenomorph DLC, and sense the Queen is part of one of the fatalities, I was curious to get another look of her. The animatronic was very well made, I love how much she's able to move and the level of detail. Incredible work!

Now I wanna build one and put it in my front yard on Halloween. And every other day

The final product is fantastic!

I love seeing how they do things like this. It's fascinating to watch. :)

I actually got pretty emotional and teary eyed, watching this video. It must be so fucking awesome seeing her face to face. *jelly af*

That is one badass mother.... Seriously!

Both beauty and beast! Holy mackerel is this channel awesome! I love older movies and this is such a treat to see how my favorite parts and characters were brought to life!

The perfect organism... Loved every second of this video. Seeing a start to finish like this is really interesting, when are the "how it's made" boys going to be at your doorstep?

wow, that's a hell of an engineering feat! well done and a convincing replication.

The brain bug on the wall looks awesome! The queen is bad ass!

3:49 the brain bug from Starship Troopers just beside the queen lmao

She is beautiful, I wonder if she's single?..

Now thats how a Queen should look like. Gorgeous art and engineering.

How did you go about making this beast? Did you re-use moulds or blue-prints from Aliens or make it from scratch? Either way, fantastic work!

The work behind this is so remarkable. And it looks real.

The guy at 3:40 looks legitimately terrified so you know its a job well done. It looks so satisfying to create this prop. Makes me want to buy that Queen Alien in hive play set by Kenner, its probably only one of the Kenner Aliens i don't have, lol.

The fact the put it together is amazing. No CGI rendering, its actually there

1:23- BRAIN BUG CAMEOOOOOOOO!!!

Completely amazing!!! Perfect work!

I want this for christmast

She was the best part of the AvP movie imo. Perfectly done.

4:00 The moment you realise you uploaded the most advanced A.I ever and it's broken its programming and set to kill mode

that final pose of the queen was awesome!! this blew my mind!! mmm im thinking i could make my characters for FYP with this stuff!! mmm

That is amazing! That must have been a lot of hard work

She is a big alien queen 👑 👾

Can't have a better mother than her :D

Studied film production at a Cal State school which didn't have resources nor creative instructors. Learning about FX through various resources, thanks for posting ADI, enjoy the mechanical aspects, learning from Lazzarini

I remember hearing how the puppeteers didn't quite get the mouths in the right order at one point. This meant that the inner mouth shot out at a colossal speed and made the teeth explode out of its head. An expensive yet hilarious mishap.

Don't usually favorite videos, but i had too. Love this thing. Thanks for sharing!

If only the dude who was face to face with the queen was wearing a batman suit.......then it would'v been perfect :)

Great job by the entire technical team !👍👏👏 Queen Alien is beautiful and royal ! 😃😁🙂🤩 PS: beautiful photo of the queen with the whole team at the end of the video! Bravo to all 😉👏👏👏👏

I love how realistic the movement looks, despite it being all machine. Bravo!

It's crazy amazing the stuff you guys do- practical effects are really the way to go, everything is just so much better! Huge fan of the Alien series, this brings joy to my heart!

ALIEN 3 WAS AWESOME!!!!!!! I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY!! IT IS A MASTERPIECE!!!!

Absolutely incredible. I wouldve been scared shitless standing in front of that thing while it was moving like that guy near the end!

what do they do with all this stuff when the movie is finished ? they can,t just throw it away...that would be a crime..

Amazing work ! Excellent! Congratulations everybody.

*So cool ✅🙂*

Brilliant work. Love the queen.

Put that thing in the middle of a city and see how people react

The movements are so smooth! O.O Wow. I love it~!

Tha-That's beautiful

the picture in the end is just so perfect

I'd love to put one on the house roof, like a life-size gargoyle.

I love it ❤ Beautiful Queen😚 perfect!!!

Space may be the final frontier but its made in a Hollywood basement

Alec Gillis, Tom Woodruff Jr (and Entire Studio ADI Crew),..You All Rule! Period!

that brain bug tho!!!!!!!!!

Can we talk about how much creativity and ingenuity some humans will put in for just for funzies and entertainment value? God our species is cool.

BEST TOY EVER !

BRAVO!! AMAZING!! thats what i call a work from real artists!!

1000 people thought this wasn't badass enough.

Very, very cool! Her Majesty back in action was the best part of AVP

Amazing! I wonder what do they do with all these models after filming... Does the studio have a museum or something?

this must have been tons and tons of hard work!! thanks a lot to the folks who made her real!

Makes the perfect watchdog.

animatronics bring so much more to a movie than cgi ever will; this is amazing.

AWESOME!!! FANTASTIC!! You could make one that walks by herself. This contraption can hurt people!

This is art and there should be traveling art exhibits of these works!

Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Bravo guys. I don't care that it takes all that tech to make the queen move, it works and it looks AMAZING! There should be a moving model in a museum somewhere. I'm sure people would pay just to see the alien queen moving in person.

1:22 Looks like the Brain Bug hanging from the wall there

true artists right here amazing talent and work, so mucht comitment in this work, tks for sharing this

even if I WOULD CREATE this shit i would be pissed in my pants to see it so close to me moving...

Amaizing work..she looks great..congratulations TEAM regards from Mexico..

Absolutely amazing if i could see one of these for myself i would be a really happy man

just imagine this as a halloween costume,so badass

At 3:48 .. nice smile!! Lol A true Artistic gift .. amazing sharing ....! It's cool to have access to this vid and see & understand.. really.. the very 'hard' work... Also.. that Art is more great : when it's always respected for its fair value & when you see the 'solidarity' of creative Team. ' ' Congratulations to the all Team .. Incredible work!!! ' '

It is a Robot! is fantastic evolucion for effect special! Congratulation AVP....

Incredible work! My hat is off!

Wow, I admire your work. it's not just a movie. It's an art.

What a magnificent machine! Its movements make it feel so terrifyingly alive.

This is so cool!!! I wish I could of been their to see the final product! :D Great job guys!!

This Queen is now in France at the museum "musée miniature & cinéma" at LYON. I admit, it isn't the real queen from James CAMERON but it's still an amazing creation. She was fixed up during an all entire year and now she is ready for visiting. I can't wait to see her!!!

My dream was to just watch this team riding the queen from the start. great artists

I think that the kinda robotic/animatronic movement of the Queen has become a real characteristic of her character, and is a very recognizable and memorable element of her personality and appearance. Kinda cool considering its essentially a bi-product of the physical effects used to create her back in Aliens, a massive puppet. And maybe when designed it wasn't exactly planned that it had some of these type of movements, but now its become part of its personality. ...I mean way thing thing looks when it moves just resembles the Queen from Aliens so much...you couldn't really tell them apart, its really cool.

Gente que equipe é essa?!! Show de criatividade.

I love how the queen looks very cool

I absolutley Love The Xenomorph Queen. She is frickin Awesome.

Best monster, ever! :-D

I love that creature. It's amazing.

Que bacano!!! increíble trabajo chicos!! amo la saga de Alíen y mas el diseño de los especímenes felicitaciones!! un excelente trabajo!!,....

Να είσαστε καλά εσείς ...να μας κάνετε να τρομάζουμε εμείς....υπέροχη δουλειά ,σας ζηλεύω

A great piece of art. A beautiful work.

A perfect work from ADI as always. I'll have one of those soon !!! But smaller :D
